And you all can clutch your pearls as much as you want if you really want to pretend I'm the first person on this forum who has seen tentacle porn and other weird hentai shit.

We didn't need to know about your degenerate tastes in porn.

That's TMI.

Again, not my "tastes"

And it was in a topic discussion of porn.

How can you act offended when literally it was somebody trying to derail the topic bringing it up. I totally agree any porn discussion really has nothing to do with this topic. Which is why you should be criticizing shockthemonkey for trying to flame me by bringing it up in a willfully exaggerated way.

I don't know about you, but if 2 people are in a debate and one resorts to a completely out of nowhere unrelated mud slinging strategy, I think it's kinda safe to assume which one is making better points and which one is desperate.

Ah man. Theres proof of Joes weird fetishes? Check and mate! Lmao.

I don't think it's a fair assumption to make when you're one of the two people in the argument.

You know, the whole issue with bias bullshit and all.

It would be weird to see what this forum would look like if only vanilla porn watchers could post.

I'm more talking as a general rule. If 2 people are debating and one tries to turn it into a smearing of the character of the other, it doesn't bode well for smearer's argument..

It isn't total proof of the conclusion, but generally if you have a better argument you argue the points.

I'd be fine with an investigation. But I don't think that's the goal here, the goal is to get the company to think "oh, we should fire them straight out". I think the situation is somebody read something that upset them, and wanted the person to be punished for it.

If the actual goal is fairness and rooting out structural intolerance that's fine.

Are we trying to get him fired for what he said, or are we using what he said as something that legitimately raises concerns about his job efficacy?

Like if we take out the emotional angle and it's just a guy who works at a wind farm saying "wind turbines are pretty bullshit, you try to take care of them but they break down all the time, honestly coal is better". Would TC send the same message to the employer? Probably not. Because ultimately I don't think this is about making sure people who are bad at their job get fired. It's about punishing people who say things that upset us.

Don't get me wrong, if he happens to be intolerant in a way that negatively impacts his job, him getting fired wouldn't be a tragedy, but let's also not pretend what is and isn't going on here. What's going on is trying to punish those who upset us because having that power makes us feel good. If we have a morally sound or employer based logic to do it, that helps, but it's the means and not the end most of the time.

I'm confused how you concluded "What's going on is trying to punish those who upset us because having that power makes us feel good." from the information presented. The TC described his concern as a part of the group the poster denigrated.

Regardless, I would defer towards immediate action instead of a "let's try and figure out what OUR motivation is", given the position of power the person has in this role. Again, I go back to the cardiac surgeon - unlike your wind farms, there is an IMMEDIATE threat to people's lives being affected here.

You doin good bro. Keep it up. Making our country greater, safer and happier again.
