Smooch is from the Windsurfing forums, of late. She's kinda controversial.

You're mocking the woman I love EP. I hope your board leaks and delaminates.



Smooch. I adore you.

What happened. Did you post something provocative and have it deleted?

Exactly! Smootch replied to the "office view" thread with a comment on the "car wash" pic saying "this is what I mean!" , and I pointed out that some people were of the opinion that the pic wasn´t demeaning to women `cos they weren´t... if You get my meaning ...
Anyway, I was looking forward to a good smootchin` and then, gone ... pity ..

That's pretty lame of admin. So you didn't get pm'd by Smooch I take it?

Say, you don't think Lozza might be Smooch? He's probably sick and tired of copping flak. After all, one man's moderation is another man's oppression.
Lozza - snag with that fatal flaw of all true artists, he can't surrender his creation to the unwashed masses. Now there's a sobering thought.

Query for Smooch:-

I'm a little concerned that you may find the pic I posted above offensive.
Sexism is a shades of grey thing. One person's joke is another person's disrespect. The test I apply now, taking my cue from your sweet self, is "Will this comment, pic, joke, make a normal reasonable woman, young, old or otherwise, feel uncomfortable, offended, unwelcome, or threatened."

I personally find that pic to be inoffensive. I can imagine that some may be offended, but my imaginary and somewhat idealised "normal" woman certainly wouldn't be. I'm not sure if I should qualify my standards. I think your standards (as demonstrated) are too sensitive. I have assumed that you are deliberately over sensitive to make a point, but I'm just guessing.

I am aware of the feminist position opposing stereotyping of women as anything other than "normal" people. I eschew that notion because I don't want to surrender all those wonderful stereotypes that we all know and love, any more that the other stereotypes of men, gays, kids, ethnics. Its a rich and varied world. Stereotyping panders to bigotry but it isn't bigotry per se. On the other hand It's easy to be compliant and politically correct but that is anodyne and boring. However I don't want to be unintentionally offensive either. I hope I'm not.

I hope you will keep up your transgression spotting. I agree with your position about 50% so far. I will support you because it's too easy for others to write you off as a loopy eccentric. That devalues your position and that would be a shame.

Forgive me for mocking you but are an irresistible target. I will try not to take it too far.

On the weekend, someone also made the suggestion that I was poor relative. Imagine that. I wish I had that much free time!

It was surrended years ago!

NotWal, I do not find your picture offensive, because I view pictures on these forums along with their context. I believe that you have read my posts and understand the intention for which they were written.

Correct me if I'm wrong Geoffnotdead, but I don't believe your picture in the "office view" thread is your office view. In my opinion, you ruined a nice thread by posting a picture purely for the perve, laugh or taunt that it would create. Well, you succeeded, I guess, but was it necessary and at who's expense?

Smooch....

The world isn't going to come to an end just because the of photo that was added to the office view. You can either approach it one of two ways; offensively (as you appear to have done so), or complimentary of the female body; many of which are very beautiful.

Your complaints, although I see a good reason behind it, is moreover going to make you appear like a 'nagging female'; rather than trying to change the whole social portrayal of females on Seabreeze or trying to alter on a worldwide basis males perceptions of females... You might consider if your posts are at anyone's expense?

I am certain if there was anything sexually, gender specific or racially offensive that is beyond acceptable forum content, the pragmatic decision would be made by Laurie or Pat to remove such posts.

I didn´t post the pic in question smootch ... I wrote the hypothesus following, that the persons in question were, possibly, not ,in fact, female! (sorry Grinch, just windin´ya up!)
I posted a real link to an actual webcam showing, at least part of, the facility where I do,indeed, work.
I do admit then following said diversion(Which I did NOT post so stand corrected) from the original thread and posting a provocative reply to your comments on it but I don´t know if You ever saw that? So,
guilty on that one but, come on, lighten up and have a bit of fun and allow admin to draw the lines, I think they do that pretty impartially and fairly.
Lizzie, I find Your balanced and well thought out replies a very sensible and healthy approach to the whole subject. Congratulations, any Aussie kids developing their opinions under your tutelage are privilaged to be able to do so and I would send my son into a class of yours anytime...
