In an astonishing failure to understand social media or journalism in general, Kurt Greenbaum called the boss of a man who pusted a vulgar word in the comments of his site. Long story short, he got the man fired. This appears to be in violation of his employer’s terms of service. In a blog posting, Greenbaum seems positively delighted.
Unsurprisingly, the Internet Hate Machine™ was immediately alerted. A site creatively applying the same vulgarity to Kurt Greenbaum is already up. Look for an abject apology or resignation soon.
Update: It appears that Greenbaum is also a hypocritical douche nozzle. He posted this apalling video a couple of months ago. In addition to the inexplicable white guy badly rapping cliche, the video features several words which are far more offensive than the relatively mundane obscenity Greenbaum deemed offensive enough to get a guy fired over. Someone revoke this guy’s internet badge.

Douche nozzle was exactly what came to my mind when I read his bizarre, gloating post. I didn’t know then that the privacy policy means he’s violated his own site’s terms of service, which just makes it that much worse. Way to violate your employer’s rules to notify the employer of someone else you never met that they violated their rules…
