I've said that someone shouldn't have been fired for what they said, and you've said they can get another job. That is not reassuring.
You've also turned a defense of a person into a defense of their views. You've turned "someone shouldn't be fired for bigotry" into "bigotry is okay". That is not reassuring either.
- Frondo 11y agoNo one should ever be fired for saying anything? Or just "bigotry is OK, leave this bigot alone" is something someone should not be fired for?
- philh 11y agoAgain, you've turned "someone shouldn't be fired for bigotry" into "bigotry is okay". You've turned "someone shouldn't be fired for saying someone shouldn't be fired for bigotry" into "no one should ever be fired for anything". As it happens, I'm okay with Donald Sterling being fired. I'm not okay with Josh Olin being fired for saying Donald Sterling shouldn't have been fired. Would you support me being fired, for saying Josh Olin shouldn't have been fired?
