What upsets me is @"Benkei"'s joke made my cross-posted joke look crap. Try not to do that again dude. >:o

:D

Diet seems to be working. (Y)

The Shoutbox was intended for nonsense though. It's the serious stuff that is actually out of place here.

TL is being humorous. Random pics of legs are not something most people here are going to take much notice of. I don't see an issue tbh.

We can accept the odd gif here but we don't want too many of them because they can be annoying if not used sparingly. If you want to post a picture of...

You need to work on the high notes.

You can't inflict the logic of modern politics on one fairy-tale anyway without making a presumption that renders all of them inert i.e. that somehow ...

Fairy-tales are supposed to function on a symbolic level. Leave them alone even if kissing an unconscious woman is sexual assault or killing witches i...

Oh yeah, missed that. :(

Bugger...

Will you marry me? (L)

I don't accept your analysis but I'm not really interested in discussing it further, so you can have the last word. By the way, the Shoutbox was never...

Hm, you cribbed that line from Baudrillard, didn't you? :B

Yes, I just punched a random stranger in the face. I win!

Oh, what a tonic, let's all get drunk and semi-naked until Agustino comes along and insists we cover up.

(I know how to pick my fights. :P)

That last one came out wrong. I meant I'd like to beat @"Sapientia"... At being nice to people.

But I'd like to beat him.

I think the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week was that I'm not an oppressive lefty ogre admin bent on destroying conservatism in the forum t...

Ha, happy to spread some good cheer for a change. We need more of that around here. :) (Y)

Hey, I think you're pretty cool. Don't think we ever had mutual intelligibility problems. Fwiw...

There are over 1,000 members now and probably over 1,000 views on what sexism is. The fact that a few members including you don't consider any remarks...

It's late here and I have work to prepare. I'll reply tomorrow.

It' a moderated forum with guidelines which explicitly mention that sexism is not allowed. And we have to draw the line on that somewhere. But context...

I don't disagree with much of what you said but despite all the white noise around, we're a moderated forum and we have rules on sexism*, racism and s...

Funny around here sometimes. Goodnight to the brood.

:-d

Talk to some rape victims who happened to be wearing shorts when they were attacked. I think I've been patient enough and explained things to you. If ...

Actually, I think most people here would agree that it is both sexist and disgusting to blame women for sexual violence against them purely on the bas...

OK. I am aware of your idiosyncratic views. You're entitled to them.

Yes, if you are going to claim that women are responsible for the sexual violence against them purely because of the clothing they choose to wear, you...

1) That's not the full quote. 2) It was an example but not the only objectionable thing he said 3) He wasn't banned. He was warned. 4) But, yes sexism...

:-d You may have missed the long open discussions we have already had about sexism and how the mod team should deal with it. We're now obliged to enfo...

Thanks for your idiosyncratic support. Would it be disrespectful to minorities and / or creepy and arrogant if I said we won't tolerate racism here?

By the way when I say I'm not going to debate this, I include the usual suspects, which means you too @"Agustino". It's not up for debate. It's a poli...

Here's the comment highlighted in the mod forum. The implication is that wearing revealing dress makes a woman an indecent slut and that she bears som...

Conservatism as a political position has no necessary connection at all with sexism as far as I'm concerned. Certainly, calling women who wear reveali...

(And no, I'm not obligated to give lessons on sexism any more than I am to give lessons on racism. If anyone here is too steeped in prejudice to even ...

@"Agustino" Calm down, I was busy with more important things than responding to you - such as sleeping. @"Buxtebuddha" has specifically been warned of...

I understand where you're coming from, but as an admin I felt it necessary to give the warning. And I addressed the person I mostly had in mind direct...

I haven't really been involved in the debate and I'm not going to debate the debate. Suffice to repeat, sexism is against the rules and the rules will...

From the guidelines: "Racists, homophobes, sexists, Nazi sympathisers, etc.: We don't consider your views worthy of debate, and you'll be banned for e...

You are. Keep doing it and you may get yourself banned.

There are other reasons for women wearing "revealing" clothes than exciting men's sexual urges, such as, for example, the weather, fashion, or maybe t...

We're always going to be stuck with hierarchies to an extent, but yes, the basic pyramidal hierarchy of the workplace determines for us more than just...

I'm confused now. Was this PM: "Stay away from her or what I'll do to you will make Jeffrey Dahmer's skeleton blush." a joke or not? :s (Please put Je...

Path of least resistance. It's uncomfortable not to. And being sincere or "authentic" with strangers is not necessarily a good thing. Some sense of se...
