The Repercussions of Blogging
hende_jman writes "How much should you be allowed to say in a public blog? There's an article on CNN that looks at different situations in which people have been fired for blogging about their company. The main issue brought seems not to be one of a lack of trust (blogs, after all, are most often public), but rather a lack of policy outlining repercussions for negative blogging about one's company."
about a web site that speaks against censorship, and yet is the most aggressive censor I have ever encountered on the net.
slashdot troll = you make a compelling argument I do not like the implications of.
first thing... no i am not going to take the time to find a case that supports my statement, but it's not all that much different than yelling a bunch of stuff to incite a riot (you could say you were just yelling it and not purposely trying to start a riot).
the company is not obligated to fire you, but why should they continue to pay someone who will cause them to lose money?
this is different because of whistleblower laws... not to mention you are speaking in terms of public safety as opposed to personal opinion.
and what makes you think i'm a pothead? the 420 in my username? "rizzo" was already taken. i use a few different means to get it used, one is adding "420" to the end of it, another is adding "sushi" to the end of it. had i done that, would you think i'm an italian jap or that i really like sushi? it's just a way of getting it used. at least i'm not a pussy hiding under the guise of anonymous coward (hence the "coward" in anonymous coward).
please me, have no regrets.
