The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Time and several other news sources are reporting that Ellen Pao is resigning as CEO of Reddit. Pao will be replaced by Steve Huffman, a Reddit co-founder and its first CEO.

Pao has had a stormy and controversial stint as interim chief executive officer of Reddit which culminated in a mass user protest in recent weeks, as previously reported on SN.

    The “argument” of “saving people from themselves” with or without some “greater cause” can and is used against absolutely anything by everybody. Some recent examples includes soda, jews, fat, bolsheviks, smoking, communists, freedom, Tutsies, gun ownership, and infidels, and then there's the classics like scum, criminals, witches, murderers (always ironic), whores, poor, rich, educated, and uneducated, and the even less “stringent” categories of “bastards” and any other expletives and “things I don't like”.

    Any noun will do! All descriptions too, just about any word in fact, it's the great fascist free-for-all and it never seems to end. Guilty as charged, who hasn't ever done that?

    Now you might not be a carnivorous “nigger-loving” smoking and drinking heterosexual poor bastard of a gun freak infidel like I am so maybe that's why you failed to notice it this time <3

    And people should worry when I shut up :D (that's a joke! Stand down the SWAT team! It only means I'm exhausted)

    P.S. I wonder how many nazis asked any jews to thank them in advance? Afterwards would obviously be too late. Is that why you're not getting enough “thank you's” aristarchus?

    I don't like that you think this is just a matter of what I don't like. And I would like it even less if you don't like my dislike of that. See, it's all relativistic fun and games until someone pulls out a Army of Northern Virginia Battle Flag!
