I think he mentioned it was a writer. How he would know is unsure. If HR specifically mentioned the complainer was a writer I wonder if is normal be that specific. Jason
Disco Writer used the N word in the writers room.

Undoubtedly.
...and being full...of many things, he is of the belief that his/or her white liberal view is the ultimate fist/judge of what is acceptable behavior/language/thought in every situation-even when dealing with people with experiences he cannot understand or is fit to judge.
Same here.
Quoted for truth.
The facts are Mosley's right to express his personal experience and not have it judged by those with asses glues to that Ivory Throne, passing judgement on that which they do not understand.
You keep assuming the person is white, but there is no evidence of that. They could have been black, or another POC as easily as they could be white.
Right now they're just a formless blob. We don't know who they are, or what they look like.
There's no evidence the person was black, and it is highly unlikely a black person knowing the how and why of Mosley's recollection would be so assbrained as to be "offended" by that.
.
There's no evidence pointing towards any authenticity, whether they be Caucasian, Asian Hispanic, etc. and it will probably stay as such for the foreseeable future.
I doubt the person who made the complaint will come forward, it was an internal HR matter.

If neither side saw each other due to a wall or partition being in the way the race angle may not even come into it.
Mosley could be making an (understandable) assumption that it was someone in the room (maybe based on previous issues with other writers or not knowing them), I doubt HR told him who it actually was that made the complaint, Mosley probably demanded to know but was refused so he quit as he felt that he couldnt trust his fellow writers any more.
I find it a bit unlikely that writers who spend so much time with each other would have such a reaction to him saying the n word, they would all be well aware of each others way of communicating by that point.
If they were all new and didnt know each other then it could be a possibility but that doesnt seem to be the case here, better to just reassure the complainer and monitor moving forward.
The show has had enough problems without a new one being created over such a trivial issue, hence why I think it could have been someone who wasnt even in the room at all.
I do think the HR department over reacted and I very much doubt they intended or wanted him to leave as it makes them look like idiots, better to just reassure and then monitor the situation.

Per the Op Ed, according to Mosley, HR told him, "it has been reported that..."
And Mosley's own comment on the identity of the one who reported the matter was "Someone in the room, I have no idea who..."
So it isn't certain whether the person was a writer or an employee with a different role.

Instead of 12 Angry Men, we should have 12 Angry Posters: A TrekBBS Film.
Our "courtroom" is that of public opinion.

Could have been anyone in the building who walked past at the wrong moment and was not aware of the context of the situation and the reason for the n words use.
Mosley could have just assumed that no one outside of the room could have heard him but quite often the walls are a lot thinner than people realise and sound carries well especially if its a suspended ceiling.
Those damn, dirty librul multi-million-dollar media corporations, and their damn, dirty, liberal systematic silencing of black people!
Almost as smugly liberal as that damn, dirty librul police force discriminating black people everywhere, or that damn, dirty liberal ICE agents putting children's in cages without soap.
Damn liberals and their systematic, extremist leftwing liberal oppression of minorities!
The Kobayashi Maru test for Aspiring Human Resource Managers ...
You have just learned writers in a writer's room have decided to read out loud from "Huckleberry Finn" which just happens to be relevant to a script that is being discussed.
What do you do?

You only have to look at how quick liberals are to throw 'uncle tom' and other racist epithets at black conservatives or other people of colour who don't go along with the groupthink. Liberals love minorities being victims and get shitty when minorities fail to play by their rules. A bunch of leftwing liberals called antifa recently beat up a gay asian journalist because he is conservative.
But please, continue to lecture me, a person of colour how I might be wrong about this, I've clearly gone off the plantation and need your help to set my mind straight.
Are you talking about Andy Ngo? The fraudster "journalist" who didn't report the violent attack by right wingers against the patrons of a bar in Portland, while he was a witness (he was laughing throughout) during the conception of that attack?
Why did you omit that disclosure?

Ngo claims the allegations are false and there is no evidence other than the hearsay of a self confessed 'anti-fascist' in a left wing newspaper from a city where antifa has free reign. To me right now, this is just spin to cover antifa's bashing of a gay man.
As a person of color myself--Hispanic and Jewish--I see it differently.
I'm pretty sure video is the most definitive evidence
This is just spin to cover right wing violence which this gay man was part of.
And please tell me, a 43 year old gay man what bashing is.
