Madness!

It's reached the point where people who make over-zealous false/uninformed complaints should find themselves under investigation as to their motives - and possible dismissal.

That's a bit desperate isn't it

The world is going mad. :conf2:

Getting sacked over what was an obvious joke between friends.

Probably just crap at conducting tbh

To be honest, in this case people should just stick to the topic, or don't bother with it. It might be different if the link was a dodgy news source, but it seems to be a mainstream story.

Yes lest's not question the torygraph, it's like the establishment it is infallible.

Again like the train conductor story that went on and on if you are working as representative for a company you have to temper your language and personal views accordingly imo.

Just in case one of those oh so sensitive souls was sticky beaking into someone else's private conversation. What a sad woman. Nothing better to do with her time than report private jokes between two friends so she can feel she has some control.

Ridiculous...but so many seem to look for offense at every turn these days. Not long ago we had holy hell on when a gay friend of mine referred to himself as a fag got. Someone was threatening to report him to the police and everything :D
