Questions about McCormack Jackson suit
From today's U-T story: "But what became scary was I was being restrained. I could not dictate my life at that point. He was dictating it. And it was awful.” http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jul/24/filner…— July 24, 2013 8:33 p.m.
Filner may be the winner in last two accusations
There's been a lot of discussion online about whether this qualifies as a "sex scandal." It does to me, but the more relevant issue is the distinction that people bring up: consensual vs. non-consensual. A Weiner-type sex scandal (which appears to be about consensual activity) has to do with judgement. A sexual harassment scandal has to do with inappropriate work activities, power dynamics and legal liability. Plus judgment.— July 24, 2013 7:50 p.m.
Filner may be the winner in last two accusations
"Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual physical or verbal conduct in the workplace. There are two categories of sexual harassment: Quid Pro Quo and Hostile Environment." (http://www.calchamber.com/california-employment-l…) Fanny patting, as you so quaintly call it, Don, creates a hostile work environment in which women are degraded and treated as sexual objects. It is not acceptable in modern times. If you can find a legal reference that says it is, please let us know. Also: What non-consensual sexual behaviors would you consider inappropriate at work? One might assume you draw the line at quid pro quo but think anything else is fine. As for Weiner: I'm not aware of his having done anything that wasn't consensual or subjects anyone to legal liability. Do you know differently?— July 24, 2013 6:40 p.m.
Something fishy about Filner's accuser: where there is smoke there are mirrors
You know who else has right-wing connections? Don Bauder. Worked for Copleys for many years. He's clearly in on the conspiracy and trying to make Filner supporters look unhinged. Do the math. (I'm being sarcastic. I think.)— July 23, 2013 3:13 p.m.
Questions about McCormack Jackson suit
Oh for Christ's sake, Don. Spit it out already. "Left largely unsaid is the health of Bob Filner, as well as the health of others with similar alleged proclivities who are involved with media coverage of this incident."— July 22, 2013 10:36 p.m.
Something fishy about Filner's accuser: where there is smoke there are mirrors
There are many liberals/progressives who have worked for the newsrooms of the U, the T and the U-T, and there are many who continue to work there. They do so because it is still possible to do good and meaningful work regardless of the agenda of the publisher. These people do not deserve to be smeared.— July 22, 2013 7:55 p.m.
Something fishy about Filner's accuser: where there is smoke there are mirrors
I connected the dots and came up with a picture of the dumbest theory to come around the pike since the-earth-is-flat.— July 22, 2013 7:15 p.m.
Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble
They've endorsed Filner before.— July 17, 2013 5:45 p.m.
Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble
The U-T hasn't demanded his resignation. CityBeat, the leftie alternative weekly, has.— July 17, 2013 2:51 p.m.
Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble
I’d be more open to Filner stalwarts who warn of conspiracy if I didn’t know a victim of his harassment. Who, by the way, didn’t just mention it just the other day and is not seeking anything from anyone.— July 16, 2013 7:22 p.m.
