>She posted a tweet.

A tweet ratting out people for having a personal conversation she eavesdropped on. With their picture and everything.

And for what? For something that was absolutely not her fucking business.

Also telling is what she didn't do:

1) She didn't complain to them. 2) She didn't ask them to stop (if they were talking loud). 3) She didn't ask the conference organizers to take some action. 4) She didn't post a generic tweet/blogpost with her opinion on the incident without naming names.

So, no, she didn't just "post a tweet". She is as much responsible for the guy getting fired as his manager.

And she didn't even apologize (at least for the getting him fired part).

She at least said she was sorry to hear he got let go, and hoped they brought him back. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5399047

After reading her blog post and several tweets, her words seems carefully crafted to achieve a personal agenda, and I would take anything she says with a whole salt shaker worth of grains of salt.

For all I know this could very well be PR and damage control from her. I have a hard time believing she had no idea this was a possible and probable consequence of her posting of this picture. This is not an uncommon outcome.
