Yes it is what you wrote.No, it is not. Your position is that firing a Nazi for scaring/traumatizing an employee is a no-no, but it is okay to fire a Nazi for sharing his/her beliefs that may or may not upset an employee. Instead of directly dealing with that ridiculous stance, you engage in pointless pedantry about the implication of the word "potential". The pedantry was irrelevant, and your responses are irrelevant.Not when I italicized it.

Thank you for the irrelevant grammar lesson.I was summarizing your position.
Your sentence in question is "If he shared his beliefs he would or would not upset employees as potentially precedes that." - is incoherent as written.
POTENTIALLY which is your modifier means possibly but not at that time a reality. So sharing his beliefs would or would not upset employees.
It's relevant.
That's not what I said
In the former case, you said no to firing and in the latter case you said yes to firing.firing a Nazi for scaring/traumatizing an employee is a likelihood depending on what was done. As for sharing beliefs that is a likelihood depending on what was done.
Your pedantry is irrelevant.Potential can infer maybe. Maybe can mean maybe not.
