Aw, come on, lawyers aren't likely to do something that would help them win when it is not really truthful, are they?

You responded to my oldest post on this thread. Do as you have suggested to others and read the thread before commenting. The man was on vacation.

I really wish a Christian or two would actually read the book they endorse.
I really wish some would read more, so that they would understand what it is they are quoting.

They should follow their own religious advice. Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

With over 200 recognized religions in the US there's a lot of room for people to cause trouble by not respecting others, in the name of their religion. If a few church of satanism members who prayed over a co-workers cubicle got fired, would that get you riled up too?

You can believe that lightening is what happens when Zeus gets mad, that a fairy takes your old teeth at night, or that a talking turtle is your spirit guide. BUT, it's best to keep that stuff to yourself while at work. It saves you a lot of grief, including getting fired.
I agree.

Respect for someone doesn't just mean being respectful when they are present. Real respect means being respectful even when someone isn't present. These people, whatever their intentions, violated another person's space. They didn't respect boundaries. I don't know if they should have been fired for it, or if another form of discipline would have been more appropriate on the part of the University of Texas, but I know that these people should not have done what they did.

Well, they slopped oil over this person's desk, and as was stated quite early in the thread, they apparently left some other evidence.
So if someone was eating KFC and got some finger lickin' goodness on my desk, I was harassed?

Don't tell me what I can and cannot do/say.
Your question was answered at least twice and yet you continued ...
Show me where I did this? I simply asked if you can type the word /s Christ and/or Christian and you got all Single White Female on me. Whatever.

Good lord. The article says "co-worker." I responded to someone calling him/her a man. Not sure how you know it was a woman, but it makes no difference now does it.
