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.

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.
