If only it didn't get to that point and if only it had ended there. It did not. Still, recently disparaging messages continued:

Not to mention the 2nd letter that was sent after the first with followup links to time spent online (not sent by the same individual as the first letter though). I find it difficult to believe that someone with altruistic motives would not feel remorse over the effect of their actions and even afterwards continue to attempt to prevent future employment.


>It's a good thing you're here Tracy. To put some order in this discussion. It slipped somewhere. It feels like when a politician is asked a question he does'nt want to answer.

>Perhaps Naomi abused her employee's time. But only his boss could be judge of that. There are tools to monitor an employee's use of the internet. If that company didn't have one of those tools then it should blame itself if they have employees abusing.

>I don't like what I read. Somebody external to an enterprise contacting a business to have on of its employee fired. This could be debated as to not being the objective of the letter. But what other goal could there be for sending that letter?

>The topic is complex. We saw bits and pieces of what happened. Anyway I just saw bits and pieces of it. I'm sure it's the case of others that participated in the current discussion. So others gave opinions. Opinions that were probably biased because a friend was implied.

>So right now because of friendship, lack of information... everybody's right and everybody's wrong.

>I wonder if Andy feels he did the right thing considering a job was lost in this saga.

>I wonder if Naomi would take the same actions considering what happened.

>>Even so, the issue it not whether or not Naomi was abusing her employer's time by spending too much time online. There is learning that occurs by researching issues and her employer would have benefited from that as well. The whole issue can be argued ad naseum. It is still, and always was, between Naomi and her ex-employer.

>>What is important is how anyone in this community feels it is okay to make that judgment call and be judge and jury by informing on their fellow developer to his/her employer. That is just plain wrong period. They had no business doing that and that behavior cannot be condoned. Who will be next? What have you or anyone else done that they may feel your employer or your wife needs to know about?
