The rest is context for readers on who's being defended by the ceo and rest

I think if you used to work with someone, and now they are dead – being upset at people publicly attacking them, when they aren't around to defend themselves, is a very understandable human reaction. eastdakota's reaction here is very human.

  • They weren't attacked, Cf was attacked for employing them and their allies. Cf has a habit of financially supporting actual far-right activists such as Westboro Church, besides this. They are under watch.

    edit because reply is broken: they donated money to Westboro aka GODHATESFAGS[.]COM

    • > They weren't attacked, Cf was attacked for employing them

      That sentence is illogical. Attacking X's employer for employing X is an attack on X – it is saying that X is unworthy of being employed

      > Cf has a habit of financially supporting actual far-right activists such as Westboro Church

      You make it sound like they donated money to WBC. From what I understand, at one point they accepted them as a paying customer. WBC is an atrocious organisation, but a business having them as a customer isn't "financial support" – do you apply the same standard to the many other businesses who undoubtedly have WBC and/or its leaders and members among their customers? Who is their cell carrier? What supermarket do they shop at? Which airline do they fly?
