Some of us prefer not to look at that kind of material. I'd appreciate if,
in the future, you could either refrain from sending such links or making it
clear that they contain objectionable content.

Thanks,
Michael

That's true, but frankly I've come to expect a certain standard on this
mailing list which is almost always respected. I would prefer *not* needing
to start second guessing every link posted here.

I agree with Michael in this - such material is out of place for the cafe.

+1.

This list is not the appropriate venue for that sort of thing. Even if
folks don't mind the NSFW, some of us work to combat the sexist culture
that pervades computer science and prevents women from embracing a love
of mathematics and programming. Haskell is generally more welcoming than
other communities; don't wreck it.

::sigh:: As much as I didn't care for the original post, I care for
politics even less. ^_^ Let's just leave it at "don't post so-called
'NSFW' content" as a healthy rule of thumb.

I believe GMail put the original message in my SPAM folder.
Which is just as well. Let me re-affirm the collective
rejection of this post. Very no!

Although I looked up the meaning of NSFW only after following your link.

Hi
I agree with the sentiments below.
I subscribe to particular lists because of their specialism. The URL
referred to had a tenuous Haskell connection, and definitely not work
the bandwidth consumed. I'm having a difficult enough time trying to
master Haskell without that form of diversion. Enough said.
