Congratulations, you work with a bunch of cheaters who care more about evading responsibility and saving a second of their time than about the company's security.
He works with human beings. If you can assemble a team of perfect human beings then my hat is off to you, but the rest of us have to work with what we have.
Robert '); DROP TABLE Students;-- ? would be proud that this village in England cannot sanitize their freaking inputs by substituting an accent acute for apostrophe in the names. (Or be able to use unicode extended codepage identical appearing characters with a different value, like U-2019, instead.)
Nope. Too much work. Cant have the office drones actually have to learn how to sanitize things, now can we?
Eh, sure

A pony!
Free beer in the office?

I'm sorry; did you think there was some sort of principal behind all that?
That movement is just for keeping a lock on a key wedge political constituency. Once that Holmes is not a member of.
No, expect the backers of that movement to be outraged that Holmes got any leniency. (Looks around at slashdot comments, sees confirmation of this.)

I can go an entire day without daydreaming about who has a penis and who doesn't. That seems incredibly difficult for certain people.
If that were true, you would have left well enough alone. Instead, you've had your little cultural revolution.
It's us normies who were minding our own business. It's you who enacted your weird obsessions.
