Apple dilemma

I think Apple had every right to fire this employee.  If someone if expressing their feelings on the web they are asking for people to read and respond to them.  No company wants an employee that goes against what they say, speaks bad about their company, or does not agree with their companies standards.  This past summer at my job I was really close to one of the day managers and another guy posted about her and I told her about it and he ended up getting fired over the issue.  If someone is posting bad things about the company they work for or a fellow employee it is an embarrassment and just makes the establishment look bad.
