> * Mateen did send some "inappropriate" messages to Wolfe (Tinder has, bafflingly, acknowledged this publicly).

It is very unusual to see a company actually acknowledge an allegation like that. But do you think it was a bad idea to do so?

Obviously it has legal ramifications. They're literally admitting guilt.

But Tinder/IAC will have to work to do to demonstrate that they care about having a healthy workplace culture. And this seems like a good way to lend credibility to the fact that they take that responsibility seriously (instead of just FUD-ing the victim with a vaguely worded statement).



They might as well 'fess up; there's no point in trying to defuse a bomb that has already gone off...
