On Postings and Work

I've been really busy at work lately, so much so that when I get home at night, usually well past 11pm its far to late to train let alone make a blog post.

I want to know why is it that it is alright for a company to say, "we will dictate what you do on our time at the office, but from time to time we will also dictate what you do on your own time". There really is a startling lack of equality in the employer employee relationship. (Don't look, but I think I am becoming pro-union!) Actually all I want is more respect from my manager, instead of telling me I am going to work late tonight, ask me. It's not as if I don't earn my keep during working hours already.

Sigh.

Anyway I apologize to any readers I still have left after my long hiatus. Hopefully this insanity at the office will come to an end soon, although I doubt it.

Recently someone posted a response to my comment On Laws. Now besides being an anonymous posting, which I do not as a rule tolerate, it was insulting, not to me, but to a third party. Actually I am being charitable the comment was downright slanderous and justified the third party taking legal action were they aware of the post.

I have, obviously removed the post. But I will state here and now, not for the first time, I do not tolerate anonymous postings. On the Internet it is painfully obvious that people use their anonymity to justify some pretty insulting or inflammatory writing. Well not here damnit!

Now I have tolerated an anonymous post here, but it was a comment on an idea I had, and as I see this space as my area to express ideas and get feedback on them, I am not about to delete an anonymous posting of that sort. But if a person wants to insult, or insinuate, they should be prepared to see me use the delete button, its not hard and I won't hesitate. Civility will reign here if I have to enforce it at the point of a gun (or delete key)!
