I&#x27;m not defending him. When someone makes a transgression, especially such a blatant one, I always try to reason why would the person do that in the first place. If someone kills another person, it&#x27;s very likely that they didn&#x27;t do it just for fun.<p>So if an action is so egregious, why risk your career over it? I figure it&#x27;s because he didn&#x27;t equate MILF with crossing any line. Otherwise, why would he bother to regroup and try again after getting rejected? I cannot fathom why someone would act in such a way that they&#x27;d get fired <i>if they  knew beforehand that they were in the wrong </i>. Which, as you said, is the issue: <i>he</i> (not me) didn&#x27;t think that there was anything wrong with what he said.<p>And for the umpteenth time, his words and actions were <i>NOT</i> acceptable. I just want to reason through something that seems so obviously wrong to me.
