Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1437365 [link to tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com] Kyle Leighton November 21, 2011, 3:35 PM 45842 293 The 89 employees of a New York law firm specializing in foreclosures who dressed as homeless people during an office Halloween party last year have been thrown out on the street. Steven J. Baum P.C., a firm that specialized in foreclosures, is closing its doors a month after photos showing employees celebrating Halloween by dressing like the homeless surfaced in a New York Times column by Joe Nocera. SNIP On Saturday, Joe Nocera, The Times columnist who originally wrote about the firm’s Halloween party, published another column about the controversy. In it, he quoted an e-mail that Mr. Baum had sent him last week. “Mr. Nocera — You have destroyed everything and everyone related to Steven J. Baum PC,” said the letter. “It took 40 years to build this firm and three weeks to tear down.” SNIP Kharma is right! I have little tolerance for people who take joy in the misfortune of others. However I must admit to just a bit of personal Schadenfreuden in hearing about your appropriate misfortune. I hope you learn something from this Steven J. Baum, seeing how you earn money, I doubt you will. We all breathe the same air. .-.. --- ...- . / .- .-.. .-.. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1482432 United States 11/22/2011 03:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People who make money off the misery of others need to AVOID celebrating and mocking the unfortunates that they make money off of. That is just "Common Sense 101". The law firm created it's own undoing and I have little sympathy for it. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 5490382 United States 11/22/2011 03:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was their arrogance and unadulterated stupidity that did them in, NOT the reporting of their party theme. Imagine if they had thrown a "Concentration Camp Victim" themed party or a "9-11 Victim" themed party or a "fill-in-the-blank with something offensive and insensitive" party, the result would most likely had been the same: Consumers who are free to pick service providers based on whatever criteria they want would have decided to take their business elsewhere because they were offended. Those idiots will most likely use better judgement in the future...and hopefully learn to NOT blame someone else for their mistakes. |

And this is the mentality that is supposed to make societal change for the better? As I'm sure that none of you have ever made fun of anyone less fortunate. Never. There but for the grace of God go I. |

Maybe he'll be homeless soon, and some homeless folks can dress up like attorneys. |
