I've seen a lot of griping lately about stumbling on stuff in LJ that's not "work safe". And I'm forced to wonder (as I have many times before), why are these people reading LJ at work? Aren't they supposed to be, I don't know...working? Now maybe it's just my jealousy over not having computers at work (which would make my job so much easier), let alone the internet. But I really do not understand how people can bitch about stumbling across porn on LJ like it's the poster's fault that they're doing something they're not supposed to be doing at work.

And it's not like I'm the kind of guy who never goofs off at work. But I take responsibility for my actions when I get caught doing something I'm not supposed to.

But I sure haven't seen anything lately that I would complain about... I sure have seen people who've gotten their heads bitten off for not putting "spoilers" behind LJ cuts!

I've heard a lot of griping in general, nothing aimed at me in particular. I very rarely post porn. When I do post it, I put it behind a cut out of consideration for those with dial-up. It would honestly never occur to me to label it "work safe" or not.

People get nasty about spoilers too and that's not right. I myself am funny about spoilers. Somethings I want to know everything about (like Stargate: Atlantis) and somethings I avoid spoilers like the plague (like Serenity). But I really feel like it's up to me to avoid spoilers, not up to my friends list to protect me from them. But I think I'm more apt to cut for spoilers because it's one of those rules of fannish behavior that says it's impolite to spoil.
