But even if people were accusing him of enjoying the aesthetics at work (whoa, <i>enjoying work!</i>), he's not getting his particular weakness catered to by the allegedly vulnerable population.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-19090787116669860792012-09-04T15:13:56.022-07:002012-09-04T15:13:56.022-07:00You're reading into the story, inventing facts...You're reading into the story, inventing facts to justify your anger. There's no evidence that he's "getting his jollies" while coaching basketball, and no evidence that he's done anything inappropriate, <i>ever</i>, with girls.

We can be fired at any time for any and no reason at all. People who want to keep their jobs should use this newfangled thing-o called a "pseudonym." <br /><br />PS Congrats on that 8000th post, Darren!! :)<br />Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.com
