Vulgar Comment On Newspaper Site Costs Man His Job

Posted by samzenpus on from the sticks-and-stones dept.

DeeFresh writes "ReadWriteWeb has an article up today discussing an incident in which a school employee lost his job after leaving a comment on the website of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper. After the school employee responded to the newspaper's poll of 'the strangest thing you've ever eaten' with a feline-inspired vulgarity, Kurt Greenbaum, the site's director of social media, tracked down the commenter's identity through his IP address and reported him to school officials. When confronted, the school employee resigned from his job."

    Maybe you should try the many current events news websites out there if you want more pressing stories. This is slashdot, not CNN.
