Yes, speculated. I said as much in my post. You countered that he's in a union so things wouldn't likely work the way I described. I countered that I'm in a union and it works exactly the way I described.
Quote:He chose not to contest the punishment. Did you stop to think that he didn’t because the actual punishment wasn’t harsh based on his circumstances?
No who's speculating? It's certainly possible. It's also possible that he just wants to move on with his life. It's also possible that he has no faith in the appeals process. We could do this all day. Another point though. He was suspended for not getting permission for publishing an article outside of NPR. Do you think he receives a similar punishment, a five day suspension, if he wrote an article about his kid's sports team for their local newspaper? Somehow I doubt it, and that's the crux of my point.
