The article stated the lawsuit has been started and I didn't see any verdict. So let's not be quick to judge, we've heard only 1 side of the story.


Is there another side that would make any of these actions acceptable? I can't think of any.


Yeah, let's get rid of judges and always apply the maximum sentence if found guilty, regardless of circumstances or what the other party did. Binary justice sounds like an especially wonderful idea when the matter is human relationships.


You're making the assumption that the allegations are 100% truthful in the first place.


Tinder has confirmed the messages. Here they are: http://www.buzzfeed.com/sapna/tinder-sued-for-sexual-harassm...


That's pathetic. This guy seems to have the emotional development of a 5 year old.


I should have been more specific. I was referring to the text messages. In what light is anything he texted her acceptable? Are you implying that they may be fabricated?


The texts aren't official records from the phone company, they're just screenshots of iMessage. Can't fake those!

I'm just a little skeptical because if you read the complaint, it's mostly about her trying to assert her co-founder status with sexual harassment as a bludgeon.


She claims she was given co-founder status, and that the reason it was removed was sexist.

That's an important claim about the company as a whole, and not just about one person at that company.


Guilty! Guilty! Burn them! Burn them!
