Of course, after reading further that he was in a chat room and someone else said something vulgar while he was away made me reconsider my thoughts on the issue. You can't control what someone else in a chat room types. Even in the cleanest of chat rooms that kind of crap happens.

Still, firing him was a bit over the top for the 2nd offense in several months. Initially reading the articles about this guy, my reaction was “STFU!”
