    A court or tribunal can only base its judgement on the evidence submitted by both parties. That is the crux - evidence. But if the person presenting the evidence does not seem credible or presents it poorly, then that evidence may not be perceived to be as credible as it should be. So there could be an element of "personality".

    "Right and wrong" are actually subjective. What one person perceives as "right" may in fact be "wrong". Courts and tribunals are rarely straightforward, Worst of all is a perverse decision.

    As a litigant in person a judge will still expect you to prove your case in law. I think that stacks the odds against you. It should be about right and wrong. Not about the person who is more knowledgeable about the rules under which you will be judged. Obviously that is not the way the world works. Tough ****, buttercup. It doesn't mean that I'm not entitled to my opinion to think that it is wrong.
    It is about right and wrong. As laid down in the law. If you want morals, go to church. If you go to a court, then expect it to be about the law. You may have any opinions you wish, but the tribunal doesn't operate on opinions, it operates on evidenced facts.

    If someone has a case, then "an open forum" is pretty irrelevant, even assuming the employer had time to read the entire internet looking for you. The facts of the case have already happened. There are no secrets in courts. But you are the one posting here and asking questions. If you really want advice that is relatively accurate, without disclosing any information in public, then the most obvious route is a lawyers office.
