Yes.  I think it is okay for one person to claim another person is stupid.

Why do you think it should be forbidden?

Because it's unprofessional, impolite, childish, and if a business doesn't want you representing them, that's their right.

EDIT: I don't think a business should have to wait until you say something racist in order to terminate your position with them.

Pretty much every human deserves to be fired based on your standards.

What about when you pitch your little fits and talk bad about me.  Should that cost you your job?

You have a very low opinion of humanity, don't you?

I don't pitch fits, only tents. Also, i don't "talk bad" about you. I only speak the truth. If you don't like what I have to say about you, maybe you should look inward with great introspection and correct those things about yourself you don't like.  ThumbsUp

I do think the college professor in question also thought she was only speaking the truth.

Also, a university is not like a business. Higher ed is governed by an altogether different code regarding acceptable speech.

Now I see the problem.  You don't have any problem with anyone saying the most terrible things about another person AS LONG AS YOU AGREE WITH THEM.

That explains everything.

I'm sorry was the  ThumbsUp too subtle in showing that I was being facetious?

Clearly. Doesn't mean I can't think they should be held to a certain standard.

Not true at all, but we both know you have no qualms about making shit up to suit your needs.

I've long wished for the ability to increase the size of the emoticons like we can with text. LOL
