This one is just amusing and sad

Basically a guy was posting on a newspaper site responding to the question of "What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?" The guy posts "pussy". It gets back to the school he works at and he gets fired.

A bit overreacting. Just not sure who.

It's the internet. Unless you do something illegal, you should be allowed to say pussy and **** and shit and frottage cheese and not get fired for it from your job.

What school would want a sicko that eats cats?

Yeah but why would you trace it instead of just banning him?

Also I'm just gonna say that again. Frottage cheese. Frottage in the cottage...

First, he didn't get fired. He resigned. Second, if you use the computers at your work for something outside of your job, that's grounds to fire you.

Yeah, I know. But what grounds did they have for tracing him?

I'd imagine a private company has the right to trace their own computers

I thought the paper traced his computer

Yup.

I think the point was him using school computers to do so. Perhaps even school time?

Correct.

Had he made the comment on his own time, no one could do or say jack shit, especially since it was supposed to be "anonymous."

I don't understand why that's weird at all unless the school was using network address translation with a proxy server or something. (In that case, all they'd have to do is pressure the school to figure out which IP mapped to that IP, asuming a many to many mapping was used in the NAT.)

There should be no reason, whatsoever, that the paper would NOT be able to trace it back to the school.

With items such as "whois", it should be expected that an IP should be fully traceable.

I don't understand why it was the weirdest thing he ate. If you want to have a healthy relationship, that's something you should eat more than a serving of fruits and vegetables.

sad amuzing lol
