Whether its true or not what happened to Bryant, ratting to an employer is as low as you can go. |

What kind of job exposes you to termination because of a silly flame-war on usenet? Most of them if your posting from work. See my other post regarding "University" jobs... I doubt they're any different. |

I doubt they're any different. You should check it out - Don't just take my word for it. Every university system that I've heard about, either through a friend who attended or through one of the projects I've worked on, is *very* liberal with connections to the commodity internet. The only restrictions I've seen is to manage bandwidth to certain nodes. I have yet to see or hear of *any* censorship or similar usage restrictions on any *statutorily legal* content. If MWB suffered *any* sanction via his University employer, it's a fairly safe bet it wasn't due to his on-line activites, unless they were patently illegal (ie kiddie-porn). I doubt very seriously he was involved with that type of activity. I actually don't think *anything* has happened to him as he has been so prone to deception, diversion and misleading tactics in the past that I have no rational reason to believe that he's not playing each and every one of you for a fool now. If you want to buy into his load of tripe, by all means go ahead - I have no problem with it. What I *do* have a problem with is when you cop an attitude when I horse-laugh you for falling for it. I know this is just usenet, but "get real"... I just called the Louisville Tech 800 number and the woman I spoke to told me he was still employed there. She then directed me to his voice mail (I did not leave a message). Just another darn interesting day! |

You appear ready, able and more than willing to bitch, moan and complain and *pass judgement* - even if it is *untrue*? Is that what you are saying? Pardon me while I release some stifled "guffaws" at your expense? Do you not agree that getting someone in trouble with their employer is very low behavior? Should be any easy question. |

We need to find the dirtbag who ratted to his employer. What's to rat? He wasn't doing anything criminal. Why would the employer care? |

Perhaps we're being duped. He probably got called on the carpet at the most. Still, leave peoples family and employer out of Usenet, PERIOD! |
