Topic	#metoo claims another scalp
That_Happened 10/26/17 10:40:49 AM #21:	The Admiral posted... That_Happened posted... I'm curious. Is it really that hard for some of you guys to go to work and not sexually harass people? It depends on if we're talking about real sexual harassment or not. The kind of stuff this journalist did is clearly inappropriate if it's accurate as reported. But then we get claims of sexual harassment over stuff like this, where a guy is fired for repeating a Seinfeld joke: https://www.aol.com/2009/08/24/man-gets-fired-for-seinfeld-joke/ ....Did you actually read that article? After the event, Preston allegedly continued to send e-mails to the female co-worker who initiated the joke, in which he repeated the phase, "You are so good looking." (this is the Seinfeld joke) The woman complained and Preston was warned. Several weeks later, Preston allegedly massaged the woman's shoulders in a hallway at work, generating another complaint. And early this year he confronted the woman at an office event. He was then fired for sexual harassment. It wasn't the Seinfeld joke that got him fired.... EDIT: And if you're talking about the second case: The first 'Seinfeld' case happened in 2004 when Ronald Knight was fired from his manager position at the Fareway grocery store in Shenandoah. Speaking to a female subordinate, Knight allegedly told her that he heard she was drunk and running naked through the streets the night before. He implied that her memory loss was due to lack of sex, and called her at home to ask what she was wearing. Knight claimed that he was joking and was simply repeating a 'Seinfeld' episode. He was also denied unemployment benefits. That's creepy af and not really defensible. Trying to re-frame that as "simply repeating a Seinfeld joke" doesn't work very well. --- http://fusionanomaly.net/magnoliabutitdidhappen.jpg <cite>That_Happened posted [p:889178586] in #metoo cla...
