Daemon, I agree with some of your points. I think people should have to deal with the ACTUAL consequences of their actions, but I don't think we should become a society which says the natural consequence of saying something offensive is losing your job. Sure, if there is a massive sponsor pull out or it truly impacts performance at the office, getting fired is a natural consequence.

Side note though, the Rocker incident destroyed his career. There were other factors (declining performance), but the tipping point were his offensive comments and the equally ridiculous backlash because of them.
