In such a case, if I thought it was offensive, then the employee would be dealt with.

In this particular case, I will vouch for Rob as someone who is not a racist or homophobe, thus when posting it I know there was no intent to offend the gay population of GFY (not to mention it's an old joke that has been posted before many times).

I know what you are saying though, I've had to hold my tongue in public many times when representing a company in the past. I think people who like to use the board for personal pleasure, should simply have two different nicks. One for representing their company and other for personal use.
