I think they err (too much often) on the side of whether someone felt uncomfortable rather than whether what was said or done should have realistically made them uncomfortable.

        I think he may be saying, and I apologize if i'm off base on this ty, is that it's lawyers who have made this kind of crap possible. -- nm - Stephen Apr 8, 14:50 7
