I actually don't mention my employer by name once. Others mentioned
them however I do not, and I only mention the people I work with, as
their opinions count. So I think you should retract that.
Of course my opinions aren't that of my employer because my employer
doesn't have an opinion. My colleagues do, that's a different thing
entirely.
I don't actually understand how swearing bares any importance to my
argument. Profanity is a method of adding something to a statement. And
insults well, they're just for shits and giggles. If she wants to argue
with me, then I'll argue.
Nothing I have said reflects badly on me, or my employer. I have
expressed opinions which are that of myself and my colleagues neither of
this bares any relevance to the company I work for.
Swearing is common on the internet, and I have plenty of
professionalism, and conduct myself in a perfectly normal manner for
internet communications. I count 3 profane words, and maybe 3 insults in
my messages. All are justified opinions or statements which are used to
increase the impact. So I don't see any repeated swearing, profanity is
used once as a passing comment, once as part of an insult, and once as
part of a commanding statement common on the internet.
You should realise that I know how to conduct myself, I have been
through countless hours of training on this and haven't broken any
company rules.
Simply put, don't tell your granny how to suck eggs. Working for a
company does not take away my freedom.
Here's a quote from good ol' Ben, "Who is the more foolish, the fool or
the fool who follows them"
