More like wordplay. Your wording makes little sense to me & I cant really understand the question. I think you may be sayin.. if someone is harassing you at work & you repeadedly ask him to stop but he just ignores you, should you both get fired?
If so, you should build up some evidence & get a different colleague to witness the harassment. Then report the abuse to management & demand that action be taken to discipline the other individual.
Im not sure what you meant by horseplay & I doubt that it is relevant. Oh, & no, you seem to be the innocent party in this situation so I dont understand how you feel you may be fired too.

I take it you have someone who harasses you on the job and you have asked him/her to stop, but it continued; you were caught and now you are both fired for horse play? Is this correct?
If both were horsing around, yes, both should get fired. If this has been a continual ongoing harassment situation with this person, you should have asked your boss to handle it to start with so that it didn't get out of hand.
If you lost your job, you could ask for a meeting to appeal and explain the situation. It may work, if you really like the job and want it back.

First, if he /she was harassing you, while you were at work. then it is simple. first you said you asked the harassing to stop and it didn't then the next step is to reported to your boss, make sure that something is written so you have in writing that you reported it. If nothing is done then you can go over his head to H R or to his boss. Now if you were both horse playing, and it got out of hand, and that person doesn't understand when to stop, I think you should still follow the steps , but you do have to let your boss how it started and let him know that you asked it to stop and he/she would not. You should still be covered, you may be disciplined, on code of conduct, but I doubt that you would be fired.

If harrasement is a staff of the company you work for, you should notify your supervisor or next in charge; if you are unable to resolve the instance.
In performance based companies, hint to the superior that it is not in their best interest if your work performance has the potential to be affected from likely future encounters; do not forget to let them know that you have already tried to put the matter at rest but is persistant as having occured before.
If you represent the law, pulling them over the walkway is disrepect and disregard for the office entrusted (emphasis on trusted as in a fiduciary position) to you. That office being the mayor or president's office is of higher importance than either of prejudicies unless it falls into a category under the law.
If it is justice you are talking about, the poorest but still valid solution is eye for and eye. Similarly, both should be fired under equally perceived circumstances, regardless if it is genuine or horse play. Most societies will overlook one off instances that do not constitute or is perceived to be a threat of life and limb.

If horse play is involved, yes. The liability to the business is way to high otherwise. If not, then the person that is being harrasssed is required to bring this to the attention of their superiors for action. If no action is taken, then there is a legal remedy to force a cessation of the harassment. The company can be sued for failing to act-so most will act.

I think if the one said stop and walks away and the other doesnt stop then the one who didnt stop shoud get fired or a write up. Something to get the messege that that is not right.

sue the guy for corporate harassment. There is a law to protect you on that. Call a lawyer immediately. Report the harassment to your immediate superior or human resources office.

No you should ask him to stop ONCE! If he doesn't then report him to your boss. If he is your boss report it to his boss. Also it helps if you have a witness to it and proof. If you don't that's OK but your case is better with something to back up the allegation.
