LR, that sounds like an unpleasant situation, to be sure! But it's true, that sort of thing is frowned on at workplaces as much as coming in drunk or sleeping on the desk would be. In my workplace (University) , we've had any number of people arrested for such things. Last two I know of were for child pornography. Pretty sick stuff. Most recent un-computer-related arrest was this week for sales of cocaine and guns...student in the dorms! Scary thing working at the university these days. A few years back a very disturbed ex-student took a class hostage (had a rifle) during exams. I was in the building next door and we were told not to leave our offices. The gunman was tackled by a student (who got badly wounded) and finally arrested. sigh... You should have SEEN the security when Clinton came a few yrs ago! SS everywhere!
