What more do I need to understand, to claim what I did than this:

Colin: Ah. Peace and quiet. # Adaywithoutwomen

then this from greg:

 

 

To me, that is him pileing on, and makeing a small issue, that only a few SJW where upset about, into a huge mess.

He basically attacked him, when he choose to write this. Threw him under the bus, instead of standing by a friend of his.

Without this post, things would have been forgotten early on.

Instead this vindicated everyone that loves to hate on people, to pile on too, and the end result is Colin was basically forced to leave his work.

You should watch the first...6 minutes of so of their PAX Easty panel (link below). It was the first time that they had the opportunity to talk about it on camera and reach out to the fanbase since this whole thing happened.

Colin helped Greg write that post. Colin is the one who edited it and Greg got his okay before posting it. and as Greg says they're allowed to disagree and still be friends. He also says in the video that if that was a joke made on one of their shows it wouldn't have been anything, and it was only because you lose tone and context through something like Twitter that this turned into anything more.

They talk about it a little more in the March AMA between like 13:30 and 21:00 (link below), and that covers more of the whole "Why didn't they come out and say Colin isn't a sexist?" type stuff.

And Gregs post isn't talking about Colins joke offending people, he's talking about people fighting about it on places like Reddit, and Twitter, and Facebook. He's talking about the way memebers of the community treated each other over this. He disagreed with what Colin said and how he handled it, but he plainly says that the actual joke itself isn't a big deal.
