Yes, and that's what I said a second time as well: "could certainly qualify as NSFW in some work settings". I even described such a setting, which is where I actually worked -- in a public school classroom. You say it's ludicrous to call it NSFW; I say it's ludicrous to think a teacher wouldn't face immediate firing if an elementary student saw that image on his screen.

But I didn't just say it was NSFW; I said it was unnecessary, which is what I clarified in the comment you now take umbrage at.

> "Trying to whip up a storm"

what I initially said was "seems a bit unnecessary to make the TV image NSFW"; that's hardly an attempt to whip up a storm. More like a gentle reminder that people making webpages, as well as those linking to webpages, should carefully consider the content, as some part of the audience may work in environments where "women in lingerie" on your screen is a firing offense.

The only reason it got "stormy" is because you deemed it necessary to suggest there must be something wrong with me (that is, you made a personal attack) because I've worked in settings where that image would be NSFW, and therefore incentivized me to clarify.

> "you just assume the author of the page is a guy."

There's a picture of the person who made the page at the bottom of the page, named Brendan Charles Chilcutt. It's possible I've misidentified the gender of that individual, but it's unlikely.

> " Because, y'know, only guys can make web pages, and only guys would read hacker news!"

This is one of those pointless cheapshots you can only get away with on HN if you come into a thread five days after everyone else left (I wouldn't have even seen this comment if I hadn't happened to be looking through some history for an unrelated comment.) So, as long as we're dropping pointless cheapshots days after everyone else has left: my wife not only reads HN, she's got 5 times as much karma as you do. Also, since you seem to think [0] time on the site is important, we've both been here considerably longer than you. So maybe you would do well to calm down, take a chill pill, and pay attention instead of getting all upset over a suggestion from someone who used to work in an elementary school that certain types of images are both unnecessary and unsafe in certain work environments.
