This guy is spot on. The UofA library where my wife works is a classic example of this guy's observations. They hired a former civilian employee of the Army Reserve to do IT work and maintain the computer systems in the library. He got more done in 2 months than his predecessor did in a year. The librarians and most of the staff petitioned to have him released prior to his probationary employment period because he was "too military".

Those folks are some of the most predjudiced people I have ever met and they all think they are wonderful being so liberal and all. :rolleyes:

I would suggest you start looking for another job if you give that list to your superiors.  Doesn't matter if it's illegal to fire you over it or not... they WILL put you on the problem person list and get rid of you as soon as they figure out how.  

Also,  I suspect that the person that complained about you is on that list already.

If the complainer was on the list they wouldn't have called in the author to chastize him. I doubt VERY seriously that the complainer will be given ANYTHING but extreme white glove handling lest she become "uncomfortable" again.

Think about it, what is the defense to sexual harrassment and how do you prove it?

Calling the author in was PART of the white glove treatment.

I seriously doubt that they want the complainer around BECAUSE of the WHITE GLOVE handling they need to give them.  If they can legaly justify getting rid of the complainer with any excuse, they will.

liberals love to restrict free speach until it is their ox that is being gored.   They love big government untill the other party is in power.   they love restricting peoples rights until it is a right they approve of that is being restricted.   Like good little socialists they believe that the end justifies the means but have no idea if the "end" is even worth having.

you know I got to thinking about something one of the older guys at work told me a few years ago.   I liked it so much it made it to the hard-hat (in sticker form), only the best ones  make it there.  
it goes like this.

I'm a sensitive guy, I can sense that I'm offending you.
I'm just not caring, because while I can sense you're offended,
I just dont give a rats-prettythang

A buddy of mine who works for a county government in Michigan just got reprimanded for a "Sexual harrassment" complaint. One of the contractors working in the department (he's a coder) complained because the day before Halloween she dyed her hair jet black, and he made an off hand remark to her (not being mean, an honest remark): "Did you dye you hair for Halloween..." which offended her. If that wasn't enough, another contractor who had been a "friend" of my buddy for over two years told her that my friend  said afterwards: "She reminds me of an old girlfriend I once had, who I hate..."

This made her feel uncomfortable (which is not uncommon since several others have "harassed" her similarly in the past). Although her case was too week for any formal actions, he was taken off her projects as a result. It seems the county can define sexual harassment as "anything that makes someone feel uncomfortable.” What a bunch of BS.

I think SpaceMoose says it best: "Your rights end where my feelings begin..."
