"I've been fired myself before for less, frankly. Specifically, I was once fired (in part) because I regularly made personal statements on my personal blog"
This is not "less".
Those two guys were only talking to each other, not public. Nobody should have listened.

I mean, also in Germany you can get fired if you say bad things about your employer in public.
A blog is public, a private conversation between two guys is not.

Was firing an over-reaction?

Yes, unfortunately there are no laws to protect whistleblowers in germany. There's a Bundestag petition to change that, but it didn't succeed so far :(
