Okay. I'm sorry, snookums.I'm a guy, you're a guy, sorry, you can keep your hands to yourself and stop calling me "hun".

While I don't believe that anyone should be fired for a hug or calling someone "hon" these things don't belong in a professional environment. If two people become friends and it is clear between the two of them that it's OK, then why would one of them complain? The complaints would come from someone who wasn't that close to the offender, and it's overly familiar and disrespectful.Oh I know. There are some, I work with 'em... who work the "sexual harassment" control policy at my job to get the men in trouble. HR has caught on and is taking steps to protect people, but the damage has been done.
After the blown out of proportion Tailhook scandal the Navy endured in the early 1990's, sexual harassment policies in both the military and civilian world went out of control. Women would accuse men of harassment and *BOOM* automatic guilt and punishment. The common joke/comment is that it was the fat/ugly/lesbians (or a combination of all three) who were the ones abusing the policy. From that point on, innocent hugs, a pat on the back, or even innocent terms of affection (dear, hon -- oh yes, these are common in the South and contain zero sexual connotation) were thrown out the door for fear of punishment. It was nice to see that the courts wised up to this nonsense by the middle of the decade.

Excellent.
Something tells me this ditz isn't an ethics major.
It's her word against yours. If she's willing to take one up the ass for a good grade, she's willing to lie about you making her take one up the ass for a good grade.

Of course, the solution to this conundrum is that if it's going to her word against yours anyway, is to let her take one up the ass, fail her anyway, and then claim you never did anything.![]()
Ah, logical problem-solving, you sweet but evil mistress...
Because there are some girls on this world who are vicious, evil creatures, and will start to haunt you, threatening to report you in if you don't do their bidding!
Unfortunately... that's not a joke![]()

Like I got one from you last year. Or like you ever call me. Or like you ever thanked me for that box of condoms we used up.*Looks at Christmas card list, makes a line through LaxScrutiny's name*

"Professor, I really want an A in your class. I'll do anything you want for it."
I replied: "Really? Anything? Absolutely anything?"
Her: "Yes, anything you want me to do."
Me: "Sounds great. I'd like you to study."
Sir, I stand in awe of your mental capacity.It's her word against yours. If she's willing to take one up the ass for a good grade, she's willing to lie about you making her take one up the ass for a good grade.

Ah, logical problem-solving, you sweet but evil mistress...
I teach several freshman music classes at a large university. Earlier this week, one of the girls in a class came to my office to discuss her grade. She said, word for word, "Professor, I really want an A in your class. I'll do anything you want for it."
I replied: "Really? Anything? Absolutely anything?"
Her: "Yes, anything you want me to do."
Me: "Sounds great. I'd like you to study."
Her: "Oh." She gave me a nasty look and wandered out.![]()
