If you read the full filing[0] you can see that there's plenty of gross stuff in there. Telling a female co-worker that you have a hard on because of her, that you can't concentrate and are going to go "rub one out" to clear your head isn't appropriate in a work environment. I sure wouldn't like something like that directed at me.

I understand you wouldn't want that, but I would. I find it endlessly hilarious honestly. Even if the person directing it at me was serious.

My point is there is no common ground here. What is/isn't acceptable to me clearly differs from you. It will be thousands of years before society has any chance of finding common ground on what is/isn't offensive. What do we do in the mean time? Set arbitrary standards, or learn to live without them?
