That's not why it's an issue.The problem is that if somebody (anyone - other staff around the office, your managers, other managers, the cleaners, various contractors) sees nasty shit on your computer and feels litigious, they can get a large cash payout from the company.
I have to warn people about it all the time (I have a team of degenerate deviants - I hired them myself). I'm not going to fire anyone for a problem that didn't occur, but some things just aren't cool. It's like whacking off on the bus and calling people prudes if they get upset.

is it really litigation that everyone fears?i think that is a good part of it, but i also think it's used as a convenient excuse so those gentle souls who live sheltered lives can have a firm base to build their arguments from.
i think the more close analogy would be someone getting miffed because i was on a bus not wacking off but looking at a book of pictures which seemed erotic or pornographic when glanced at if you were to invade my space and peer into the book i'm holding.
or am i nuts?

Let's compromise and say that the analogy would be like you said,except rather than reading a book, you were holding a poster out in front of you and at least 5 other people could see.

fair enough. i won't quibble over book versus poster.i just think we devolve when we have to pretend to be concerned with what the most sensitive people fear 100% of the time.
i'm all for being polite, just not for being forced to be polite at gunpoint.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't be too polite if people were constantly pointing guns at me.I mean for fuck's sake, either shit or get off the pot.
That's what I'd say to those guntoters.

And yeah, litigation is the only reason I'd be bothered talking to staff about it.I make sure I don't employ easily offended people. Those types usually leave during the interview.
