Byram Lass - tone down the partisan Facebooking while at work

Byram Lass,

I was going to let this go, because I don't personally care about trivial rules.  However, since you have continually commented on every supposed "illegal" or "unethical" offense you feel the candidates you don't like have committed, and since you continually like to question the faith and beliefs of anyone who disagree with you, and since you continually make sanctimonious slippery-slope arguments that these offenses are somehow gateway crimes that make you wonder what someone won't do wrong, there is something that needs to be discussed.

Mr. Lass - your employer is VERY clear about personal use of government resources and time.  PARTICULARLY with respect to posting partisan political stuff.  Now, I'm not the petty type who would go running to the Office of the Inspector General to complain about your activities, but you might want to reconsider how much time you spend on Facebook posting about politics while you're supposed to be at work.  Keep in mind, all of your posts are on a public group, and they're time-stamped, it wouldn't take someone very long to figure out that you were using at a minimum government time, and more likely, also government resources, to post such things.

I was going to post screenshots for you of the hundreds of business-hour weekday comments you've made to the League City Politics is a Full Contact Sport Facebook political discussion group, but it's really not necessary.  You know what you've done.  Instead the following will suffice.

1) Mr. Lass, please reacquaint yourself with John 8:1-11 (since you like to project your religious judgment onto others)

2) Mr. Lass, please reacquaint yourself with the rules of your employer and the experiences of another NASA employee, Mr. John Cobarruvias (this link will help: http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2008/05/updated-nasa-employee-suspended-for-partisan-blogging/ )

3) Mr. Lass, please stop with slippery slope arguments.  I'm not going to sit here and say "Oh my, if he'd do this, what WON'T he do?!"  I'm not going to sit here and suggest that if you're willing to break these rules that you might show up at a city council meeting and do something irrational (as you suggested I would do, since I was willing to, gasp, break Facebook's "Real Name" rule).  I'm not going to do that, because I honestly believe you're a good person with good intentions, just seriously misdirected and deceived by the groupthink of the Green Team.   But I'll suggest you remember this and stop making such slippery-slope fallacies in the future when you extrapolate alleged trivial election missteps as indicators that people won't follow ANY rules.
