Adam Bain. Being nice.
So much so that everyone Re/code's Kara Swisher interviewed about the hunt for Twitter's new CEO (Bain is among the front-running candidates) had this to say: "Bain is suuuuuch a nice guy."
"Good god, I think I even might have a minor man crush on him," said Swisher, who used (emphasis ours) "Adam Bain Is Soooo Nice, Jack Dorsey's Hamlet Act and Other Things You Need to Know About the Twitter CEO Search" as the headline for her article.
Clearly amused, Twitter employees, partners, and fans then began tweeting their versions of why #AdamBainIsSoNice
We've collected some of the funniest:

Adam Bain allowed another media outlet who also generates revenue from advertising to win off a #AdamBainIsSoNice trend. #Kara'sNoDummy
