It's not just this type of thing I'm talking about. I was watching something on tv. about sexual harrassment. They showed some folks giving a seminar. The gist of the seminar is not to say anything to anyone regarding personal things, type of dress, hair, etc. If the person you are talking to, for whatever reason, decides that something offends them, its good enough for the courts.
I think common sense has gone very far out the window when I can't tell a coworker she looks good today, but Neo-Nazis are allowed to march. Common sense tells me that there's a lot more to worry about than someone making a comment about someone's credentials.
