I agree, which has been my position from the start.
Words, no matter how much we dislike them, are not something severe enough to attack someone over; harassment is.
Just so we're clear, "the former" means the first one. I know from first-hand experience that just telling people to not get hurt over words can only go so far.

Correct, I don't think there was any lack of clarity.

Sorry, you are forever known as TinyDickMarten.
Really creative, nice work, stop thinking about my dick now - no one cares and it's kinda cringe.

Quote:Actually, this could be interesting.
So if you overheard someone making racist remarks at work, what would your course of action be?
I of course report them and If I had the authority they would be out the door there is no place for that at work

Quote:Agreed, but I don't see how the conclusion is that the state and your boss must now be the police of your speech.
Because there no place in the workplace for hate speech or racist language this isn't hard buddy your just playing dumb at this point

They are asking for it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:What you perceive is irrelevant; your position indicates that you require a boss to behave as a parent, which is objectively childish behavior.
No to behave like a responsible boss and make it clear asshole behavior have no place at work
Quote:A child requires authority to solve his own problems because he lacks the capability to do so himself; he cries to mother, "Mom! Mom! Billy hurt my feelings!"
No an employee requires their employer to handle issues of asshole behavior in the office trust me if I had the ability to fire them I would
Quote:Does mother go and attack Billy, or does she tell her child to grow up and not let words hurt them so much?
No a responsible boss makes it clear asshole behavior isn't tolerated here
Your ridiculous attempt at condensation to perfectly reasonable mindset again says it all about you. No one at work should put up with asshole behavior nor should it be tolerated
