AHEM! people please review my rules for banning and deleting. several you are at risk!

will-knock it off! i wouldn't ban you for that kind of stuff. (well ok except quoting that quote which i wish would die) i like the discussion...not of the slide show but of the alleged misogyny. i just don't think the name calling helps. i think women and men are really different (go figure huh?) you guys insult the crap out of each other and no one cries that much about it. let's face it no one's ever slung out a crack about my mom. but if you start slinging insults towards a female you're walking a fine line between having fun, a normal way in which you might deal w/an annoying male poster, and cries of "misogyny" from the women. i'm seriously interested in what the guys on this board think about it. what's an effective (not whiny way) for the women who post here to deal w/a comment directed at them that they feel is denigrating? personally i think that just shutting it down with a good response works w/o crying discrimination. most of you guys don't seem to intentionally cross the line that way with most of us so i let a lot of stuff go personally.

hey guys i think this had some good posts to go in w/some silly insults on the topic. i'm not going to delete any of what's here but it wouldn't bother me any to get it back on track or let it die all together.

do you mean the dumbest pygmy goat with purple hair and 3 nipples? cuz thats what i thought you meant. OMFD! that's funny shit i've read in a long time!

do you want to rent for the season or for a day? most of the shops in seattle have good deals. the other option you might get away with you're nice to the guys at the shop is picking up a kids ski package. i'm short enough and light enough that i've gotten away w/using kids gear before. skis, boots, and bindings new would be about $275

so who wants to go skiing next thursday?

nummm....

hey princess, how are you today?

reference to anything nekkid is not likely to get me to ban someone

She's the crusader who wants to ban all filthy tree pron such as this: oh come on! i think we can all agree that filthy tree pron will be the downfall of our society! how can we expect that youth of america will become upstanding members of society if they're forced to endure this sort of vulgar display by mother nature???? nature must be banned for the good of the children!!!!! down with tree porn!!

random but roughly includes running 5-12 miles 5X/week swimming 2000m 1-2X/week yoga 1X week skiing/snowshoeing/snow-ice play 3-4X/week climbing gym or outside 1X/week in the winter more whenever possible.

same chick?i think so! i always figured anne coulter had a mean streak muffy...come on! i've seem some pretty hideous attire come out of the trailer park. pumps w/cutoffs don't even make the top 10.

allison, "not inviting to women" is a lot different than having a "hatred of women" consistency please! this may not be the easiest place if you're female but really, it's not that tough imo. as has been pointed out many many times, if you're not happy, comfortable, pleased, entertained by your time here you can read another board or pick and choose more carefully which posts you read here. it seems that the spray has been dwindling in the good climbing threads.

sadly i have not climbed much this past 3 weeks and WY is still in flux and if i go it won't be until next fall. i thought climbing was banned from the spray forum actually i'm going to go muck up some stuff this week. i'll post a tr when i'm done

ok peter...it's snowing at snoq pass. and the beer on my deck is really cold

thanks OW. i was thinking of myself more as moderator - as - capricious dictator rather than warlord...but whatever. trask- i lean towards your side that moderation shouldn't be used much in spray but stuff like that awful picture definitely needs to be controlled a little. now sugarlips...just behave yourself or you'll be "PRINCESS" full time

there's more than one moderator. i'm one of many

well since you asked so sweetly and obviously went to so much effort w/the thesaurus. i shall fix your title.

my dogs love to go out in the deep snow. their wimpy delicate sorts so they have paw protectors. they will let you know when they're tired and hang back behind you if they need to. take them and have fun!

oh my dog! i'm a libertarian...a left leaning libertarian but a libertarian none the less! the horror!

See what I'm talking about? Warlord. exactly!!! and i don't want to see any posts about how you don't know why you're getting edited/deleted/banned...it's all there in black and white. i'm downright vicious and arbitrary in my wrath so no more nonsense on spray

muffy, you better get those spelling errors fixed or i'm gonna ban ya

marylou-look you and i clearly do not see eye to eye on this based on this post and your post earlier this evening in the climber's board. yes, i'll reply with a witty retort if i can think of one. those things don't bother me. i don't take a sexual reference to mean that "because really, sex is all that women are really good for" so be forewarned, that is not the type of thing i will moderate out of spray. the guys seem to handle it just fine when a chick makes a sexual reference about them. i will gladly remove any reference to you specifically that you'd like. just PM me. i think you have a legit right to be annoyed w/some of the comments from one or two of the posters on this board directed at you personally. however, i don't think that there is the hatred of women on this board that you mentioned in another thread. some people, including a lot of women i know, find humor in some of the sexual references. we don't find it degrading. i'm sorry you do. i'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to laugh about it and have fun w/it. the truth is that when i've spent time w/the male posters on this board they've all been fun, good company, great climbing partners and very respectful. not once have i felt uncomfortable in a sexual context with any of them. i like some better than others but they've all been good guys.

DAMN STRAIGHT!! i'll be crackin a whip around here now i've decided that during my reign of terror there will be 5 things that will result in banning: 1) 3 misspellings in one post and you're out 2) if i'm bored at work, i will randomly ban people just for the entertaining wrath filled PMs 3) the mere mention of erik and his mercurial bannings, just b/c i'm sick of hearing about it, will get you banned 4) trask will be banned at random intervals just to amuse me and his avatar pics might occasional be switched just for fun 5) failure to buy me a beer will result in embarrassing edits of your posts and occasional banning. in addition to the above, just so you guys know, i'll delete and/or ban based on the following -any specific reference to the details of another members private life/personal info -any kiddie pron or graphic violence will be removed as soon as i see it. -and the standard any threat of physical harm to someone will get yanked.

Show me a world with taste....and I will still bring out its Vulgarity well at least you've recognized your own personal special talent.
