Kurt Greenbaum of St. Louis Post-Dispatch accused of getting employee fired at school over vulgar comments posted on his blog

Kurt Greenbaum, St. Louis Post-Dispatch Director of Social Media, recently made a move on his blog at the newspaper for which he is employed.  He made a post that was an attempt at being lighthearted.  However, it did not turn out as he intended due to actions he now regrets.

The story is posted all over the Internet.  The majority of posts we have discovered are not in Kurt Greenbaum’s favor.  His Twitter account has gone private, there are over 24,000 results in Google with Kurt’s name, and a special website was built to honor this situation.  That you can locate on your own.

The synopsis of the story involves a comment made on a post Kurt Greenbaum created.  Mr. Greenbaum asked what the was the strangest food his readers ever ate.   If you use your imagination you can probably guess what one response may have been.  The rest I will leave up to you should you decide to look.  Kurt Greenbaum’s actions that followed afterwards caused someone to lose their job.

Three sources you may review for details are as follows:
