Otherwise, their opinion then becomes their employer's opinion... their employer being the government.<BR/><BR/>It's the same reason why I generally only post at night or early morning, because what I write is not necessarily my employer's opinion and they should not pay for it.NPMSRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052178969107494589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546950008014232634.post-80812963641073727202008-01-04T23:48:00.000-08:002008-01-04T23:48:00.000-08:00Thanks for your input, Pat, I appreciate it.Indeed...Thanks for your input, Pat, I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, it may not be an overt threat, but it doesn't have to be one in order to qualify as harrassment. Here's how I see it, let me know if you agree or not.<BR/><BR/>1. It was a comment from a government employee, using government resources, on government time.<BR/><BR/>2. Unless it is rebutted or met with another response from that government, I have to assume that it is an official communication, an opinion approved by that government by one of it's representatives.<BR/><BR/>3. The statement is an unqualified sanction of physical violence and imprisonment against my person for merely utilizing a first ammendment right of free speech.<BR/><BR/>4. That sanction of violence and imprisonment against my person, coming from said government employee on government time using government resources, now caries with it the wieght of the office for which that employee works.<BR/><BR/>5. Irregardless of all that, it is official misconduct if it is not an official opinion of said government since it was done on government time using government resources without express consent of said government.<BR/><BR/>So, you see, it is either an approved message from the King County and/or City of Seattle government(s) or it is an unapproved missuse of government resources.<BR/><BR/>What's your take?NPMSRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052178969107494589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546950008014232634.post-80261502042434455972008-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:002008-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:00I don't think it's harassment, (what threat does i...I don't think it's harassment, (what threat does it pose?) It's the guys opinion. Also, this banter between you and the naysayer is the equivalent of an Israeli whining on a Hezbollah blog. This blog is dedicated to reporting SPD misconduct. Naturally SPD and related government offices aren't going to appreciate it. That said, it's not worth discounting entirely or warranting an "ass beating" for that matter.thinkingnotrantinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01556138277045251677noreply@blogger.com
