I think he stopped when I pointed out that if he did it would hit several places on the internet, the City Council, the Library Commission and anywhere else I could find to complain about it. The current director is not opposed to CHLs and I don't think any discussion of OC has come up yet.
And you didn't get fired?

Nope. One of his biggest fears was negative publicity or anything that would make people take a look at the library operations. If he had fired me his "unexpected resignation" would have occurred years earlier and the city I work for actually has a decent greivence procedure.
Besides, I've been fired before. Don't like it but I don't live in fear of it.
