One would think that with all the precautions that people take today that one would not click on an unknown link. I don't care that it came from someone on the ARSList. If you are not 100% sure where it points, just don't click on the link. In this high-tech world we live in today, the responsibility for heading to an inappropriate web site does not rest with the person who sent the link, it rests squarely on the shoulders of the person who clicks on the link.
Let's face it, if you are on a company workstation, on company time, then maybe you shouldn't be opening a post that has been clearly marked OT:MondayHumor. You know before you even open the post that it contains no technical value, so why waste your time? Ivan posted a link. Nobody FORCED anybody here to click on it. Once someone decided to click the link that person became responsibile for everything associated with that link. In the future, I would suggest that restraint, not curiosity, determine one's course of action. By the way, one person's humor is another person's vulgarity. Just because one does not agree with Ivan's sense of humor doesn't mean he should apologize. If he had tried to mislead anyone in any way, I would say you have a point. The post was marked correctly. Those who clicked the link made a choice. Just because you think it was a poor choice (because you didn't like the content) doesn't mean it's Ivan's fault.

We are supposed to be politically correct in what we voice, and hopefully far more compassionate than that in what we think and do. The video in itself was in poor taste but the website it was displayed on had other display items that were inappropriate and that's probably where the 'block' outs were originating from. Many people on this list are employees, not contractors, and therefore are on company equipment on company network and in some cases, maybe more than we care to think, being viewed by the company. Just because we use another email address in an effort to ease the burden of the company email server, doesn't mean we can do whatever we want. We are all being paid to work, and sometimes that does include taking a few moments for harmless humor on Fridays. Before you post humor you might want to run it through a simple test ... is this something I'd like my grandma to read ... or my 12 year son or daughter ... would they be proud. I know that not all Friday humor has qualified and I've enjoyed most of it and had a few laughs ...and wouldn't show it to grandma or kids. But if someone says they're offended, then you should be apologizing before anyone ASKS you to do it. So I guess this would qualify as Tuesday editorializing or sermonizing. Are we going to need a Friday humor session at RUG?
