i did something freeperish once

this guy wrote a letter to the editor basically advocating eugenics and "why can't those damn minorities stop having babies" type stuff.

he left an email address that traced back to a major sporting goods manufacturer.

i sent a link to the letter to the corporate email address and a vp of hr wrote me back.

turns out this guy was a contractor and they didn't like people using company resources to write racist drivel.

she told me they let him go and assured me that XYZ company does not advocate what that guy wrote.

1. Good. People like that should be neutered.

Or at least, so I think when I'm pissed at one of them.

2. How is that freeperish?

His behavior was freeperish--using company time and resources to spread racist twaddle (under their e-mail account no less). You were merely letting the company know of the problem. :shrug:
