[Irish]

a man called a woman a ct on the internet and lost his job. Actually I don't know what the rules are here so I will just censor the word

[Udo]

I don't care if you spell out the word if you're going to cite it (punctuation would be nice though ;) - but this is clearly not an explanation of what happened.

[Irish]

You are right I left out a bit. The woman took a screenshot of the abuse and tweeted it to his employers asking them were they happy to employ someone like that.

That really is the gist of it.

Is it even legal to fire a person for a single tweet (when tweeting is not their job)?

[m-photonic]

It is, but it shouldn't be.
