As evidence of the inefficacy of filtering, Simon says (sorry) that he couldn’t access Library Stuff at work due to the filters on his computers. He was unable to identify the offensive elements, but I’ll be damned if I don’t at least try.

Of course, Steven is a dirty, dirty man and the phrase “get the stuff every day” is just fraught with innuendo unacceptable for children (whether it’s visible to filters or not). Other questionable phrases? You bet.

“C’mon and join the party” - 1-999-LIBERRY. Our ‘professionals’ are online and waiting for you.

“will not be reading Harry Potter” - No kid should ever see those words together!

“attending the Dixie Chicks concert” - That’s un-American!

“tool” and “nuts” - No comment

From the OPML list:

“Big Pink” - Whoa, nelly!

“Good’ Sharewood” - Yikes!

“Fuzzystuff” - Hmmm….

“Open Stacks” - How dare he!

“Agnostic” - Well, that’s the last straw. To the blacklist with you, Steven M. Cohen!
