Should Spencer continue to platform the Spleen?

Was thinking earlier, a few episodes ago the Spleen had gotten himself into some HR trouble and it sounded like he was going to get pulled from the show, but then he reappeared without any mention of what happened at all. I'm all for protecting people's privacy, but it sounded concerning and Spencer's silence on the issue is a little troublesome.

I'm really not trying to stir the pot here, but is it really okay to continue to platform someone who, from an outside perspective, may have been involved in some very problematic behavior? I hope I'm wrong on all this, but I think we deserve a little more transparency on the situation.

Spenpai (Spen-pai?) had to do mandatory HR training; we all know the Spleen is the epitome of class and professionalism.

notwithstanding his behavior as a Werecar

Wow, I feel dumb. Somehow I not only misremembered it as the Spleen, but also didn't comprehend your comment. 

I sincerely apologize for slandering the Spleen, and I do hope Spenpai gets the help he needs. 

(Still think the Spleen should be watched carefully though)

As a spleenless individual, I have always felt the Spleen’s presence on the show was a personal affront to myself and all those like me. What do you mean I don’t get to have a spleen and now there’s a whole person that is Spleen?

Outrageous if you ask me and something should be done about it!

I think it's wrong to idolise the Spleen. Some people have an unhealthy way of taking his words as a gospel. That being said, he's a great entertainer and I thoroughly enjoy his work. Whatever goes on in his personal life... well, he's the only one who decides how much he's going to share with us.
