Employees came forward that 37 kept a list of "funny" customer names - some offensive and racist. Instead of fixing the problem Fried and DHH banned employees talking about it. Later it came out DHH was a contributor to the list. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/27/22406673/basecamp-politic...

I really hope "banged" is a typo for "banned"...

I didn't see that in the article in you linked. Are you referring to another source? Could you link it?

I agree there are many out there using fake outrage for personal gain and ladder climbing. In this case DHH's frat club behavior was publicly called out. Instead of accepting responsibility he called timeout to cover his own behind. 37 lost business and credibility from the fallout. That's hardly harmless.

Imagine if they ever found out what service industry workers say about customers behind their backs.
