Notorious Reddit moderator fired after Gawker story

On Friday, Gawker’s Adrian Chen outed the notorious Reddit user Violentacrez in a lengthy, detailed profile of the man labeled “The Biggest Troll on the Web.” Chen’s piece confirmed Violentacrez’s identity as Michael Brutsch, a 49-year-old financial services employee from Arlington, Texas. The story catalogued Brutsch’s long history as a controversial volunteer moderator on Reddit and the numerous trolling subreddits he moderated. Chen’s story quickly went viral -- it currently has more than 800,000 views -- and Reddit drew criticism for banning the story from its site. Over the weekend, Brutsch’s new-found notoriety caught up to him and he was fired from his job.

Not really. Texas is an at-will state, so unless he had a specific contract specifying otherwise, they can absolutely fire him for being a douchebag.

Yeah, that always sounds good in theory.

I feel bad for the guy's situation, but this line cracks me up:

Internet Troll wrote:
"My wife is disabled. I got a home and a mortgage, and if this hits the fan, I believe this will affect negatively on my employment," Brutsch told Chen. "I do my job, go home watch TV, and go on the internet. I just like riling people up in my spare time."


"I just never thought being a giant douchebag would catch up with me."

Nice quote. He's a prick, he knows he's a prick, and he knew he was risking his job.
