That is a feature I would never use
for just this reason. Like hitting mute on the telephone and slagging off the person on the other end- sooner or later you're not going to hit the mute button hard enough or accidentally hit it twice, giving them an earful. It's a very stupid risk to take for minimal reward.

I'd say he got what he deserved.

Quite.
At my first office job, a colleague and I used to use the Novell network messaging feature for general chit chat (we were in seperate offices), and occassionally make disparaging remarks about our coworkers.
Boss took me to one side to explain that everything we sent was logged by IT, and that we should probably stop, lest we find ourselves in real trouble.

Later on, I had another talking to, after decorating my desktop with pictures of naked ladies.

Looking back, I was a bit of a tool.

We've had our system upgraded to Outlook 2010 lately

That's been around for a while.
Back when I worked at Honeywell I sent an email asking a friend if he knew what his unborn baby's sex was, and instantly got a message that it had been flagged as inappropriate and sent to the IT department. This happened numerous times when I included words that were on the Naughty List but were used in innocuous ways.

Never got into trouble for it, but it was irritating to have to come up with alternate terms or use asterisks.
