it's nothing personal

I don't know the actors, events, etc, etc, but assuming it is what it looks like I'd say: integrity is always a personal issue and firing someone for cause where there is, in light of fact, no cause is both personal and despicable. Saying it's "just business" doesn't justify unethical business practices. It's horrifying that we've come to associate business with amorality.

++ Well said! If I could give you all of my mod points I would! There's a reason greed is one of the seven deadly sins.
