> You're moving the goalposts. In your opinion, is being "very Trumpian" a problem that Apple has? Is Tim Cook running around in a MAGA hat and I totally did not notice?
I never set goalposts to begin with ffs. The post my original reply was aimed at claimed that:
> > I'm thinking those accusations are probably just slurs by someone with a grudge.
To which I replied that essentially every organization will have bad apples and it's good corporate governance to weed these bad apples out.
Then, in response to someone else thinking it might be a civilized idea to claim I might be biased in favor of anti-discrimination, I listed sources proving a decades-long history of Apple teams and leadership being independently accused of discrimination because apparently one needs to prove what should be common sense, and now you come on and accuse me of moving goalposts? WTF?
> Edit: Regarding that 2001 article, it's just an article about a lawsuit being filed, which anyone can do whether they have a case or not. I haven't yet found that case, but I found a similar one from 2005:
Just saw your edit as well. Yes, people can feel free to file whatever claims they want, but the key thing is that there is a pattern of allegations. It is the very nature of discrimination claims that they are excessively hard to prove unless you have recordings or someone willing to act as a witness and burn themselves along with you on blacklists.

I don't know if you saw my subsequent edit (and long quotes from the court), but the case I found was frivolous.
A "pattern of allegations" doesn't prove anything if the allegations are lies. People lie all the time. They can even lie to themselves and convince themselves they were wronged to avoid dealing with their own problems.
You’re exhibiting exactly the kind of “bad apple” behavior that organizations must weed out to stay healthy — not unlike the people that filed those frivolous lawsuits and ridiculous public claims.
You’re primed to see your ideological enemies hiding everywhere, and so you do.
