I actually do NOT want DB to lose his job. I would rather this be a teachable moment for him. I hope he realizes what he did was wrong, apologizes to management, and accepts whatever reprimand/discipline he has coming--for instance, transcribing an entire Fox News broadcast by hand.
But then, I'm a big believer in repentance, forgiveness, and amendment of life.
(Not holding my breath, though.)
Charles, your being a man of the cloth, I can totally understand where you're coming from, and I respect that.
Now, having said that, were we putting our balls on the DUmmie chopping block, how many of them would think to themselves, "You know, maybe a little forgiveness is in order here?" Yeah, you see me working. I can't think of a single non-mole DUmmie who wouldn't be out for blood, if only to slake their thirst for just a moment before resuming their hollow, meaningless existences. While I would like to think that I'm not of that sort, neither am I the one to turn the other cheek without some sort of lesson being learned by our slow to comprehend little Internet poo-flingers.
In the immortal words of Christian Bale as Batman, "I won't kill you--but I don't have to save you."
The DUmmie mess is one of his own making, and his alone. All we did here was point and recognize it for what it was.
