God, that sounds awful (and I'm not even counting the Freudian slip)..."zero tolerance" sounds like it sums it up pretty well.


What slip of the tongue did I make now? You lost me.

Are you saying that you have zero tolerance for my work environment? It does take a person of strong character and moral restraint to do what I do. Not all people can handle such a restrictive environment. Some folks just prefer to be a touch naughty 24/7. I won't get paid if I behave that way.

Now, when teachers get home from work, we do let our hair down, even though I have none on the top of my head. Laughing

One last thought. Teachers in California must pass a test on sexual harassment every year in order to keep their teaching credential and, racial sensitivity training is a requirement now and then. The reality - it's far more likely to get fired from something that has nothing to do with teacher effectiveness.

Well, you've gotta guitar there, so you must rock -- just not in a hair band.

The thing is, Karl, you've decided this is a cut-and-dry issue, and because you're obsessed with making everything about you, this is your cue to wade in with the definitive statements about what is happening in this topic.  But, this entire discussion is far from being obvious, as the extensive literature on word usage, jokes, slang terms, offensive terms, even community and belonging, and then etc etc, should attest to.  But you just have to jump in and whine about yourself, rather than addressing the topic.


Hey now -- Karl_'s here to exert his calming and stabilizing influence.  The trying to make it about him part is just the gravy.

Amazingly, the beat goes on and on and on.

press "print screen" on your keyboard to take a screenshot.  not sure where the defualt file is where it saves but Windows-7 might know.


The save is not immediate; to make a screenshot with PrtScr press that key and then paste it into Paint. Save that image. If you want only part of the screen use the Snipping Tool (Windows 7 only) and save.

Stands to reason.  I would never expect to remain in pubic education if I didn't know about correct sexual harassment technique.

Incorrect (as usual), Vista also has a snipping tool.

More like, a slip of the comma.

Huh, this is first time a staff member got in a forum when im here.

Anyway, everyone knows not to use racial slurs in any type of chess games, the professionals will automaticaly kick you out of there and make you forfeit the game, thus leting the other player's team getting a free point.  Also, when someone actully yells out the word "illegal" in chess too loudFrown, thats considered being kicked out of there.Undecided

What i hate more than racial slurs is when people incite them by saying things like "nice job losing."

You've certainly got your sense of proportion well aligned.

I totally agree.  The guy that said the forbidden word is from the Philippines and Satom is white, and it disappoints me that chess.com revoked his privileges.  

TheGrobe

Which one?  "Good" or "Game"?

oh noes! look what our society has turned into, someone calls you a nigger (chances are you are anything but that) and you are already resorting to being a coward and wanting to push the "report" button because you can't stand the slightest verbal insinuation.

 

grow a pair of balls, and also it's you who started the "gj on losing" remark that probably exacerbated his mood. so it's your fault.
