Personality conflicts aside, we're noting that non-sexual search terms in Commons can prominently return sexual images of varying explicitness, from mild nudity to hardcore, and that this is different from entering a sexual search term and finding that Google fails to filter some results.
I posted some more Commons search terms where this happens on Meta; they include
Black, Caucasian, Asian;
Male, Female, Teenage, Woman, Man;
Vegetables;
Drawing, Drawing style;
Barbie, Doll;
Demonstration, Slideshow;
Drinking, Custard, Tan;
Hand, Forefinger, Backhand, Hair;
Bell tolling, Shower, Furniture, Crate, Scaffold;
Galipette – French for "somersault"; this leads to a collection of 1920s pornographic films which are undoubtedly of significant historical interest, but are also pretty much as explicit as any modern representative of the genre.

If the entire premise of an email comes down to "I'm taunting you", that's an indication it probably shouldn't be sent.

Presumably this is the sort of quality of discourse Sue was complaining about from filter advocates: provocateurs lacking in empathy.
Trolling much eh David?
But thanks for showing once again your incapacity to acknowledge that searching for sexual images and seeing such images, is somewhat different, from searching for non sexual imagary and getting sexual
images.
I have to agree with David. Your behavior is provocative and unproductive. I don't feel the need to respond to your arguments at all, if you write in this tone. You could either excuse yourself for this kind of wording, or we are done.
Now you wouldn't be complainng about seeing content not to your liking would you. What are you going to do filter out the posts? Bet your glad your email provider added that option for you.
Yet another censorship hipocrite.
