... but if I did, I would quit. This is over the top. It feels more like a blanket list of vague infractions to have on hand so that they can rid of anyone they feel like.
It reminded me of one of those prison visitation posters reminding you of everything that's against the law. And WTF is a dead name?

Do you think insistently referring to Muhammad Ali as "Cassius Clay" is appropriate, apart from discussion of the late boxer's childhood?
