Those "seemingly trivial occurrences" most often have much larger reasons behind them that the ones fired have no idea about.

Considering that it's my job to investigate these claims, I'd say I have a pretty good idea what I'm talking about.
Best Example: I had a guy working for a defense contractor (that will go unnamed) who was fired because he didn't ask his boss for permission to go to lunch. You'd think there would be something deeper to this, right? Nope. The boss was just a [censored], yet well within his rights to do what he did.
There isn't always a larger reason. Sometimes you get fired because your boss has a petty personality conflict... or you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What does any of this have to do with this thread?

I dunno, but I do like chicken. Not on pizza though. That's just wrong.
Lighthouse, this is a time when the motto of my command is most relevant:
Per Ardua Ad Astra
Through adversity to the stars!
May the rocky road ahead take you to a wonderful destination.

Ignore this fool, he doesn't know what he's talking about!

If anyone deserves to work on a video game about superheroes and supervillains, it's a man with the name Alex von Minden. I'm sorry to hear that you're going, and I wish you all the best.
Have you or someone you know been the victim of Nerd Rage?
Find answers, get help.
Bye Lighthouse, best of luck.
On an unrelated note I have real bad gas tonight. I hope I didn't accidentally poop in my pants.
awwwwww.
Though I never knew you directly, It still feels like I'm losing a close bud. You were a great rep, always constructive and polite, and You will be sorely missed. Thanks for helped bridge some of the communication gaps, keeping us informed, and being overall a joy to have around.
Here's hoping a great guy like you finds greater joys in future endeavors.

LH, you were one of the few red names that seemed to have some social grace. Too bad you're leaving...I hope it was your decision but it doesn't seem like it was. That's too bad.
This is distressing news indeed!
You'll be missed, LH.

I don't think LH would continue to play the game if he got let go or even post at all. I think he's leaving on good terms.
But go ahead and speculate, generalize, bash and argue. It's what the forums are all about.
Sorry about being a [censored] in your [censored] all the [censored] time.
Lighthouse good luck to you and yours. Come visit us and let us know how things are shaking up for you. Hopefully the capes will still follow you along the night making sure that you Lamp does not get extinguished.

Lights by Journey my all time favorite band and my wife's favorite song by them. Way cool and a great way to send Alex off.

I'm very sorry to see you go Lighthouse. I had the pleasure of meeting you IRL three times and you always were a very classy, very genuine guy.
May our paths cross again some day...

I'd say good luck but whoever posted that wasn't Lighthouse.

Here, I think you need this more than I do.
Good luck, Lighthouse! Sorry to see you go. I enjoyed reading your posts.
I hope your future endeavors are fruitful. And that you can find another job quickly.

I will say good bye as well, and I too do not feel that was LH making that post.

No matter what you do or where you go, you'll always be a hero, Lighthouse.
Remember, GL and HF always!
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Happily puts it on his head. States that no former employee is going to post as a redname. Fired/Quit or carried out on a stretcher nobody speaks as a company rep unless they are one. He isn't.
That isn't Lighthouse.

I am happy you are leaving.
