I've "defined" it in previous posts in this thread. If it's something that I wouldn't do while she's in my presence or that I wouldn't tell her about, it's probably not right. I joke around with women in front of her all the time. It's not a question of being cut off from the opposite sex. In this case (Harold Reynolds) it's very likely an ongoing pattern of inappropriate behavior that he's doing heavy duty damage control on with his wife right now.
How does flriting in the workplace or even in a restaurant say compare with what OJ did or for that matter what Kobe Bryant did or was accused of doing(personally I think she is a guilty as he was). In short compare murdering/raping OUTSIDE the workplace with flirting INSIDE the workplace. Actually, if memory serves me, in case of Bryant, it was her workplace.

Then we agree. Joking with a member of the opposite sex with your spouse present is NOT flirting. However, if one is sneaking around than I would consider that flirting.

Ummmm....OJ killed his wife. If that's not harrassment, I don't know what is.
The way the law defines sexual harrassment right now is so broad, the soft skills classes that companies send their employees to can last for days. This isn't just about squeezing a girls ass at the copy machine.
I love women and flirt all the time with them. I don't cross the line of respect and i know how far i can go with the stuff with each woman i talk to. Some allow/like the attention and others, you know don't.
Pardon my ignorance but have there also been cases of gay harassment in the workplace? I would love to read about some of these cases and the charges especially among the "men".:christmas

Just ask Bover. He was involved in plenty of these.
What would have happened for example if Harold Reynolds came out of the closet and admitted he was guy and was say caught making improper advances toward Chris Berman who also admitted to being gay but did not like the advances of Reynolds? Would ESPN have fired either one of them or both of them and what would be the stated reason?
I know I am being silly but couldn't resist.
