Let me get this straight.

A guy jokes with a buddy on twitter.

Fanboys go ape shit.

He explains it was in jest.

Fanboys continue to go ape shit.

He get's fired because fanboys went ape shit.

Fanboys will continue to go ape shit.



His life and the world would be a lot better if everyone would just ignore stupid fanboys and their stupid fanboy rants.

i mean who cares if the guy is married or not? or if he has kids right? he said something on twitter. he should be put in prison

Yeah, the plastic boxes sitting next to our TV's are the only things that matter in the world and we should all take comments about them as peronaly as attacks on our character.

Cut out his tongue and throw him in the viper pit!  May he burn in hell for all eternity and his family suffer for his sins.

Adam Orth feared not the fanboy pox and it consumed him. Let he be a lesson to all who might challenge the will of the great and powerfull Fanboy!


stop being naive.  this has nothing to do with fanboys.

as a publicly known employee of MS he made a public comment about an MS product and directly insulted a portion of the MS consumer base.

..i don't know what MS does but i have yearly (online) training specifically to learn not to do stupid shit like this.  had i done anything similar i would be fired, guaranteed.

i guess the potential damage was pretty huge.

Being a small employee it wouldn't matter to write stupid things,but he wasn't a small employee.
I guess he is now the one opposing always online the most as it destroyed his carreer-he has to deal with it.

maybe he has now to move to small valley without internet and after buying the xbox3 with always-on he will realize he won't be able to play.he has to deal with it.

HAHA, now the entire internet can laugh at him.

What an idiot.

guy deserved to lose his job. He made public controversial posts that made the company he represented look bad

congratulations people because he told some guy to "deal with it" on twitter the guy lost his job, and his career is fucked up. im sure his family thinks this guy got what he deserves and is very happy with the situation. what a jerk...

It's seems a number of people here don't understand rules of employment. You can't go into a public forum and chastise it's consumer base and expect there to be no repercussions. What he did was stupid and I can't see how he didn't think he'd be canned for it.  I've had a quite a few employers that have you sign paperwork saying in short "I will not publically embarrass my employer, and doing so is grounds for termination."

Why are people worried about whether this guy has a job or not? What he said on twitter negatively affected Microsoft and he got fired... deal with it.

Sucks for him but completely understandable. He screwed up and sadly is having to #dealwithit. I wish him the best of luck with whatever he decides to do next. Maybe go independent?
