Firings - Political correctness gone too far?

[adios]

I don't know the circumstances of the incident. The person it was directed against could have been on the receiving end of a lot of "jokes" and simply was tired of putting up with it. I've witnessed situations where people were picked on before in places of employment because they were different somehow. Cliques develop sometimes at places of employment and if you aren't in, your out. Perhaps that was part of it. Obviously somebody didn't think it was rip roaring funny.
