My only feeling here, Gary, is that you can't prevent the perversion of anything. You can legislate anything you want, but if you subject people to undue stress and fear, they're going to cope with it in ways you find unacceptable.

Yes. Do you think that someone who went "postal" just woke up one day ..a married person with children ..got hired ..never got fired from a job ...never been arrested...bought a house ....and decided "I'm going to throw it all away because I've been a maladaptive person all of my life!"?
Your point?
Your point?
Men are bad, women are victims. Didn't everyone get their Political Correctness handouts??
Here's my take...I remember Hillary Andrews from TWC. She came across as being a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
Now Stephanie Abrams...MEOW!

This was a pretty interesting read. Too bad I read before the admin's cleaning tool went through.
I've never seen this in a working environment probably because every job I was in had a large groups of people (so it was hard to do things one on one). If I saw something like that happening to that media woman - I would offer my assistance and verbally oppose the anchorman. They must have been alone a lot for all that to happen and no one else to notice.

That is the feeling I get when I read stuff like this. Oil gal's example of a gay boss - I'd see if there was anyway to let higher management know I was unhappy or get another job. My question is, why didn't she get another job if her complaints to management didn't go anywhere? Yeah maybe it wouldn't be as good pay but ...

Isn't that what Burden of Proof means?
No.
Burden of proof is the obligation of a party to establish by evidence a requisite degree of belief concerning a fact in the mind of the trier of fact.
A persons testimony is evidence.
If that persons testimony is believed over that of another, that person has sutained their burden of proof.
Which means that sometimes a good liar will get over on a truthful person, as long as he/she is convincing enough.
