Most of the cases brought forth lately concern men who could not keep their mouth, hands or penis to themselves. I hope we all have always known that ain’t a good idea.

You'd think, but apparently this seems to be a major controversy on this forum...

A good rule generally because if you date within your company you will become the subject of gossip. If it ends badly everyone will know. A friend is still working in the same department as a man she dated for years but who threw her over for another women in the next department. Very awkward to say the least.

Joe Scarborough and his wife Susan quietly parted ways, 3 years later Mika Brzezinski quietly divorced her husband of 22 years and Joe and Mika are engaged to be married.

If Joe had shown interest but Mika wasn't receptive, could Mika have accused Joe of sexual harassment?
Why would I be afraid? I was raised to keep my hands to myself.

Yep, been there, done that, won't do it again. A young guy working for me is dating a girl in another dept. who sits nearby but now she wants to go to friend zone....very awkward and painful to watch.

As AE said. Keep your romantic and professional lives completely separate. You can still show interest in people you are interested in, just not at work (which was always a bad idea, not just in the current environment).

A girl, yes
A woman, no

Just because some men are held to account for their boorish behavior doesn't mean we need to go overboard and pretend we'll all be celibate forever.
Key word "most". You never know when you misjudge. And the fact is the truth doesn't matter, it's what is perceived to be the truth that matters and the second amendment gives us the right to lie.

Die down? The problem is, it may die down but you're marked because there is very difficult if not impossible to prove you are innocent and if someone is out to hurt you they know that.... your screwed.

I think dating someone you work unprofessional, you're there to work, not to find a mate. I asked, if Joe Scarborough hit on Mika and she wasn't interested Mika who could have accused him of harassment (or the other way around). He is lucky she preferred him over her own husband.
