The point I was making was that it was Neil who posted that image.

Was it posted in a thread about the weather, or was it in a thread which title clearly shows what the thread is about? We live in a hugely sexist society, and me no less than others am not immune from being effected by it. However, some are able to recognise it for what it is, while others clearly aren't as this thread got to prove.

As I've said, I don't expect perfection. But after two days of people ignoring requests for the sexist posts in this thread to stop, and after a number of complaints about them - including a number of people being driven away from this site because they didn't like that content - then action needed taking for things to be reigned in.

While some might like to drag the argument up again, I suggest that they re-read the thread and note the number of posts from people who have expressed their dislike for the sexism that was being unnecessarily displayed in a weather thread. Hopefully those other people's words might sink in where my own have failed.

"Sexism" :lol:

And still Neil, you're yet to tell us how posting pictures of women in beachwear sexist.

You've dodged and you've dodged the question, you even put a block on my posts once you realised you couldn't actually justify it.

You've EVEN put a warning on my profile, for doing absolutely nothing other than politely arguing a point with you (in the face of some utterly classless personal insults from yourself).

Shameful.

objectifying women IS sexist. I'm able to recognise it for what it is even when I'm guilty of sometimes doing it myself. It's a shame you don't have the same ability to recognise it.

Unlike you, I'm not defending my own actions, even tho my own sexist posts were in a thread where the title made clear what it was - unlike the posts here, which had no place here.

You claim them as "harmless fun" - yet people have posted to say they were offended. How's that the "harmless" thing you believe it is?

I'm not bothered about the weather anymore to be honest.

I'd much rather start a thread lobbying for the people who are having a barney in this thread to meet at the Mexican Wrestling venue. :ph34r:

Right had enough just started a new thread entitled the run up weather thread.

Rules of thread are :-

Weather talk only

No bad language

no inappropriate pictures

Please abide by these rules if you are not happy or would rather play in the playground please use the weather thread from page 165 onwards.

I had a lovely bath, as it was sunny out, by the time I'd eaten a sarnie it was cloudy.

We were talking about high pressure from wednesday and it was sunny, we are arguing and it is cloudy. Can you see the link?

Mr NeilCantStopMe you are doing nothing to improve the image of people who you seek to defend (and indeed probably are) and the arguing is just rubbish, not what people want to read about. Please just stop trying to provoke someone into anger so that you can then show how unreasonable they are.

If we stop arguing, start talking about the weather and thinking positive thoughts the sun will come out again and I can sit in my garden for a bit. That would be lovely.

It is tempting, but this thead may break all kind of records.

As far as the weather is going, it's edgy stuff. Its annoying as it seems kinda 50/50 at the moment as the various weather models are conflicting at the moment. :(

Correlation please :P

    • Boards of Canada never perform live, I doubt they'll start now. Also Strokes have a show in Barcelona next tour so also less likely.   And adding Nine Inch Noize to the mix And we should definitely get Iggy Pop back before his body completlt dismantles
    • Starmer wagging his finger with a stern warning again. The media are briefed they'll  ban social media for under 16s then he stands up and makes an empty threat on nude images. Why does he keep doing this?
    • My top 5:   1. Little Simz (her appearance with Gorillaz was also one of the highlights of their show. The absolute winner of the weekend) 2. Cure 3. Rilo Kiley 4. Gorillaz. A bit disappointing set for me, compared to last time. Felt like a bad setlist, whenever things started to heat up, they did some new calmer song 5. Florance Road. The good thing thay came out of the rain is being able to see them
    • So since Andy Copping has stepped down and this new booker has taken over, we’ve had Green Day (who Andy never managed to book) and now potentially Blink 182 (another Andy never got done) is this just coincidence or do you think Andy never actually pushed hard for these bands?
