There is a difference between encouraging and actively marginalizing someone because he watches porn.

I was born in Eastern Europe where nobody had a problem with you watching porn as long as you don't do this at work or in public spaces (schools, shops etc ...).

Well, I just bought his Emacs tutorial to help him.

Best thing someone can do for this guy is to help him fill his taxes declaration retroactively and create a fund for him to write an Emacs book for e.g. Seems quite competent writing about Emacs, so it should be right on his alley.

Maybe someone from Apress, Pragmatic or Packt Publishing can contact him about an Emacs book.

If you "buy" one of his tutorial I don't think you will get in trouble. Just don't donate or send him a check if you worry about IRS coming after you.

facepalm because of him watching porn or because he uses same browser to log into his bank account (which is not a good idea) ?

I think it is just US "puritan" culture. In general it is not a good idea to let a potential employer know that you are actively watching porn ...

What you do in private is nobody's business, but if you do it publicly ... this could rise a red flag for an US employer.
