most bewildering item in the latest willamette week

Willamette Week letter to the editor:

First, I have been using the library computers on a daily basis for about three months. During that time, I have seen various problems there, mostly rising from the fact that the library is now being used as a social-service agency. But I have never seen any signs that anyone was watching porn, and I know that the librarians watch out for that kind of thing.

3…2…1

Laughing laughing laughing.  Not terribly observant is this library patron, is he?

Actually I believe porn viewing is allowable to some degree or other, or better to say it is left to the discretion of the immediate fellow patrons to complain.   I once sat by and watching as the security corralled a man who was masturbating, and insisting he wasn’t, and you can imagine the conversation was of the “No I wasn’t” “Don’t insult my intelligence” variety and awkward for all involved.

Anyway, the initial anecdote in the Willamette Week article may or may not be relevant to the story, but that is a different debate than that suggested by John Emerson in denial vantage point.
