"Reddit CEO Ellen Pao apologized to the website's devoted and vocal users on Monday after abruptly firing a well-liked staffer and triggering a mass revolt by volunteer moderators that shut down large swaths of the site last week.

The controversy started on July 2 when Reddit dismissed Victoria Taylor, a popular staffer who coordinated the hugely successful "Ask Me Anything" Q&A sessions with public figures. It escalated when moderators protested Taylor's outing by cutting off user participation to some subreddits, as the San Francisco-based site's topical message boards are known."
