Unseen commented on Robyn's blog post 'Really messed up situation....'"As for sexual harrassment by a manager, that is intolerable and illegal. If the company won't address it, she should take it to the outside authorities AND look for another job. "
Unseen replied to Redlilly Pond's discussion 'Friend doesn't believe in dinosaurs.'"Forget him. Can't you see he's a conspiracy theorist? Once people fall into that mode of thinking, they are impervious to logic."
