QUIZ: What would you do? Do you give an honest reference?

You fired an employee for misuse of the Internet (He visited porn sites at work.), and for making inappropriate sexual remarks to a female co-worker.  A month later, you receive a call from a potential new employer who wants a job reference. Do you give a candid and complete report, even though you know it will probably prevent him from getting the job, and that he may threaten to sue your organization? Does it matter what kind of job the ex-employee is seeking, or whether you know the person seeking the reference? Write your response in the comment section.
