My opinion is that this anonymous post lacks credibility and the author is most likely LARPing. Is it really so offensive to have a skeptical view? > It was normal for guys to refer to other guys as fags when they didn’t participate in private parties where sex and drugs were involved. It was normal for guys to openly refer to attractive female colleagues as sluts when they refused to go out with them.

Says the three minute old throwaway account.

I don't believe HN should be front paging anonymous content without some proof of having worked at Uber.

It is totally understandable why she chose to be anonymous. I would let the readers decide, if they find any content shared on HN useful or not.

Odd choice for evidence of fabrication, as that quote echoes Susan Fowler's original post.

There's really no reason not to name Mike #2. If this is real, he already knows who you are.

There's enough information given in the story that virtually anybody who worked at Uber can name the people involved. Public naming and shaming is understandably desired, but unnecessary. It invites legal action.

Wow, while I expected more stories to surface, this one seems to be a whole different level. But then again, Uber seems to be a really dysfunctional company.
