New NASA employee harasses Homer Hickham, loses job.

Hickham tries to get them their job back, and he gets harassed off Twitter.

...Twitter was a fucking mistake.


God creating human life was a fucking mistake if we have that many people thinking they are reincarnated goat and that gives them privilege

UPDATE

Homer Hickam tried to get the furry its job back, but couldn't. He has closed his twitter account and his blog due to mass harassment from the furry community.

This is why no one respects furries as real people

Not all furries are bad/toxic, but there's definitely some out there, just like any group of lifeform.

This looks like a total trainwreck of failure honestly. This is exactly why you don't just insult others for no reason to create a situation/escalation. Getting told to basically mind your language and act a bit more professional is harmless and probably a good tip, especially if you're going to somewhere that should be holding a level of respect/professionallism such as NASA. Instead they lashed out, paid the price for it.
It's not Hickam's fault, he even tried to repair damage and assist in something he didn't have to do. Instead gets harassed and whatnot for it like he's the sole reason/cause.

I bet they're sitting there wondering why no one respects them or why they drive others away. Probably not the first time either. I guess the only plus here is they're sticking up for each other, but not sure if this was the greatest showcase of such.

Before you get onto me, I am disappointed at them, but then again it's nothing new.

All I've seen is the one basically saying mind your language as a friendly tip and the response. I don't dig through twitter and co so I haven't seen all of it. It's possible a 75 year old poked some fun back, but it could have most likely been avoided by just not telling someone to suck and lick ones genitals. To be fair, after a brief discussion about it with someone, they probably wouldn't have held that position long if they spout language/insults around regardless of who the target becomes. Eventually it'd get found by someone.

As for when I said it's not Hickams fault, I mean he didn't force Naomi to send either of those two messages, setting garbage in motion.

Yeah, not saying either did. It's just a shining example of the ole "you don't know who you're messing with" deal. Turns out it went both ways in this case and both lost. Cept maybe for Hickam, who has already accomplished a fair bit. I wouldn't be suprised if this bites Naomi or some of the others again down the road by some other employer for reasons.

Well, he randomly appeared out of nowhere and engaged them in casual conversation.


he commented on a NASA-tagged tweet and was insulted, then identified himself. he didn't report it, someone else at NASA saw it and killed her internship, then he tried to help her get it back

it's not out of nowhere when your job is NASA's PR and someone's tweeting obscenities and tagging NASA.

one would think he's the hero here. the people who harassed him are complete morons.

Ok, guess I didn't miss understand or miss out on something. Was wondering how either of those first two were him trolling, so assumed I must have missed something somewhere that was deleted(probably still have).

I was suprised he even tried to help repair damage. The real sad part is that in 1-5 years this could have maybe blown over and given another shot. Instead they attack one of the few people in a high position actually trying to help and seal their fate. Could have repaired/forgiven the inital interaction after it blew over, good luck getting in now after chasing him off.

what the fuck is your problem? what part of your interpretation of reality is so fucked up, and in what way, that you think Homer Hickam "trolled" anyone, or acted embarassingly, or failed in any way? none of that happened. shut the fuck up with this stupid bullshit.

As in he randomly replied on Twitter to someone to "watch their language" ? My response to literally anyone online I don't know with that kind of crap is "who the hell are you to talk down to me".

He's not the fucking thought police, he's not even a twitter mod, he is a dude on the internet coming out of nowhere. Oh my stars he works at NASA, I suppose the other guy should have looked that up before insulting him. But he jumped into that situation.

It was random. He has no authority beyond being admin of the twitter page for NASA.

What you're saying is like if someone mentioned me in reference to Dark Aether and said "fuck yeah but I haven't played Metroid", eh ok but it's a social board and I don't care what you do off my board because it's beyond the scope of my authority, unless of course it's particularly egregious or telling of your character. In this case it was a matter of professional etiquette, something that doesn't exist online.

It's like chill the fuck out dude, it's the internet. He would need to either delete / report inappropriate content for the page he manages or ignore it. Instead he brought undue attention to the whole thing and managed to escalate the situation.

If you make a public comment to the world, expect people respond. Hickam did nothing wrong by commenting. This woman had plenty of options. She could have apologized. She could have tried to start a conversation with a famous NASA person. She could have just ignored him. Instead she told him to duck her dick and her balls. Basically the worst possible action.

Really? I was under the impression he tagged NASA but was having a conversation with friends. I guess if his friends started being immature to NASA that would change my opinion bit I didn't notice that.

I'm also the one of the only few in that chatroom that does not think this was a massively stupid thing to post about online. That group hasn't learned anything at all. They all think Homer sucks and was wrong to "talk down to a woman."
