I would say be careful of striking the seller's agent off your list. The seller's agent has literally no control if there is no signed agreement and the seller want's to accept a higher offer. The seller's agent has one job, get the highest price with true qualified buyers that will close for their client's property.

The seller's agent could have told the seller that you were a better more qualified buyer, but at the end of the day if the seller wants to go a different direction they have to do what their client wants.

I know I have no legal ground to play with the seller agent.

My agent was concerned, but she received the bad news. We were shocked.

I got my house anyway 2 weeks after. So, I don't really care about her at this point.

One point I missed. The house had an open house on Sunday. I made my first offer. The seller agent told every buyer agent that we all needed to make a second offer because she received 14 offers. And she said the second offer would be our final offer because the seller really wanted to sell it quick.

I made my move, and my offer was the highest. 2 days later. Someone couldn't accept the "losing", and requested the third offer. The funny part was that, the seller agent actually told my agent what the offer was. Clearly, she wanted us to bid against each other.

Personally as a 17 year old my view on this will be different but I will pitch in because I feel like it. In school I experience many offensive encounters every day. People say offensive things to me and my friends every day. I've been called every cuss or offensive word in the books including "f--got". Offensive jokes are told all the time and you just laugh them off it doesn't matter. It's important to be the bigger man and not become personally affected by what someone else says against you.

Keep in mind this is my opinion there is no need to attack me for it. I don't like the fact that the person tracked down this man's employer and informed them about it. I think that it was not up to a random person whom the words were not directed to to become offended by the words and contact the mans employer. I don't think that Riley Curry is on Twitter reading the comments and saw a random man she doesn't know calling her that word. It would be a different story if it was a family member of Riley who reported it.

Now I do think that the employer was correct in firing this man. Obviousoy what he said was wrong and he should be held accountable. This is just my take on it don't take it too seriously and become angry that I have this stance, I will defend it but I will also be open to listening to other people's opinion and maybe I will change mine

What did he call her? I don't know what F--t is supposed to be censoring?

I'm tired of people being cavalier idiots and then not wanting to own up when punishment comes. Stop blaming others for your idiot actions.

Great post

It's the social media 2.0 generation. It is what it is. You have to be smarter than that. You can be denied employment or terminated simply by an internet background search through linked accounts.

So, unless you're planning on being a self-employed for the rest of your life, it's probably best you refrain from using insensitive racial or sexual slurs on a non-anonymous account.

Why do people seem to believe that the concept of free speech only applies in relation to the 1st Amendment and out government? It's like they all took a Constitutional law elective class at their community college and think they're outsmarting everyone else. Yes, sometimes the issues is Constitutionally protected speech... other times it's not. In this case the issue is a person's free speech and his employer's reaction to it. You might agree with the employer or you might not... but it's still about free speech.

100% agree.

O dang I wouldn't have though that. I thought they were sensoring "fat ass".

Haha. Although that's still pretty harsh for a young child, I don't think the uproar would have been nearly this magnified.

Again freedom of speech does not equal freedom from repercussions. You are allowed to say whatever you want, someone could also punch you in the face for it. I don't understand the point you're trying to make unless you're agreeing with me and I just misunderstood you.

If you are dumb enough to be identifiable by your social media profile that you post from, then you deserve to get fired.

Another great post......

1. Be a decent human being.
2. treat people like you want to be treated.
3. Everything you post online will be there forever.


I ask everyone with common sense reading this thread.....Would you post what this person did on twitter?

If someone posted this about your three year old daughter---would you blow it off? Would you be offended?

Not being a "white knight" just behaving like a normal person.

No.

But, my issue remains the same....SJWs/Regressives/Internet Warriors whatever you want to call them....are self-righteous individual who are hypersensitive and belive it is acceptable to ruin a person's career over anything they might deem offensive.

I've seen this happen in other areas and with the PC culture we currently live in....it will undoubtedly continue.

And to everyone that agrees with this type of behavior....just remember the next time you say something that someone might find offensive...what they might be capable of.

And yes, I agree the employer had no choice...they had to fire him or incur the wrath of SJWs....

That right there... You can call me whatever, but not my child. I would totally be offended and bring total hell onto that person. But that's just me..

I absolutely despise people who hide behind their phone/computer screens posting filth directed at others. Why should they be allowed to continue to do do without repercussions?

To be fair, this guy wasn't hiding.....he had his real life picture in his profile and people were able to get his name and other personal information quite easily.

If anything this should be an example to people to remain as anonymous as possible.

The most I share is a part of my name....thankfully not my full name.

I personally don't have a Facebook account and even if I did no way in hell would I give my real name or work information.

And I think posting real life pictures of yourself online is already asking for trouble.

[drobfan8]

It's one thing to abuse a pro athlete (not that that's a classy thing to do) but to spew filth about their 3 year old kid is disgusting.

Got what was coming to him.

The guy probably learned that his basketball team isn't as important as some things in life. Like a job and credibility.

This is 100% correct.

The Twitter poster had the right to say whatever he wishes. He's not being withheld his right to free speech.

By the same token, his company has the right to fire him for his actions if they feel they reflect poorly on their business. Pretty simple.

EDIT - I should also add, though, that I would not take the time to hunt down online people who say these moronic comments. With that point, I can agree.

Yes lose your job over it. I have done the same to someone who repeatedly called people the n bomb on facebook on a news sites story.

The only way to end racism and bigotry is to stand next to our fellow citizens when the law is limited.

When offering a job to a possible candidate, most corporate companies not only do security and background checks, they also now search social media to see what kind of person they may be investing in. People think what they post won't hurt them, but are finding out the hard way what they post will hurt them.

The failure in your thought process is that you perceive his words to be simply that.. words.. rather than the reality of those words being a representation of a discriminatory mindset. Someone who openly displays this type of behavior cannot be trusted in any business environment. It goes against simple business principals.. limit liability.. maximize productivity.. profit.. etc. Cant risk discriminatory practices within the company or towards consumers.. nor will a business be excited to be liable for the actions or words of an employee representing them.
