It's not an answer. Luckily, Mort's nicer than I am, so now you have an answer. I hope that clears things up for you.

I cant be bothered to read all this thread but I gather someone posted a pic that someone took offense to, that was subsequently removed, now this is a cycling forum if you have you ever been on a club run a lot worse things than this are discussed and nobody is censored for what the say, why is it different on here ?

Because you leave that banter in the gutter?

The topic seems to me to be a sincere attempt to address whether podium girls are needed in this day and age. Posting up a pic of a woman's cleavage and commenting along the lines of ''two good reasons...'' distracted from the discussion. I've seen lots of outrageous behaviour from both men and women and I can't claim to be a stranger to smutty innuendo but the decision to moderate seems reasonable in this discussion.

Making a tit of oneself down the pub with a couple of friends, is different to making a tit of yourself in public, on the internet with strangers. If you can't spot the difference it probably means you're a tit.

There's a close correlation between being unable to think clearly and being unable to express oneself in decent quality English.

Ouch!

Then again looking at your photo's of your tandem trip,I can understand why you may have a slight grudge against the more aesthetically pleasing people of the world.

Your turn.

You're equating experience with common sense and knowledge, As you're new to the forum, I'll just point out that they are not the same or even equivalent and like I said earlier, one view does not make everyone else wrong.

Not the same or equivalent, no....but linked together with regards to this thread I believe yes! One view does not make another's wrong but may make the person sit back, think then re-evaluate there original musings.

Just saying like :smile:

A beautiful podium girl with a degree still may not have thought through the symbolism of what she's doing or she may have done and thought what the hell or taken a contrary view. It doesn't make her conclusion right, you seem to think it does.

Was Sagan right to pinch the Podium girls bum, are Podium girls by their nature ripe for that kind of abuse. If your answer is yes, then you lie beyond my reasoning, if it's no, then keep going with your thinking and change the situation and circumstance, then think about what makes men think it might be OK to act like that.

You seem to think her reasoning makes her wrong? See that's the problem or the answer, she's the podium girl, not you! So whatever she does is right to her? There's loads of other subjects where people put in there monies worth, trying to get things changed etc,without actually asking the people at the center of the matter.
As to symbolism..lol..don't make me laugh. You really think that everyday people are going to be bothered about the "Symbolism?" making a mountain out of a molehill comes to mind! You may as well make all women wear the burkah in case a man finds them attractive! Oh hang on that's also oppressing women....what next? We could all dress the same and shave our heads? Become as "Asexual" as humanly possible? Would that be ok? We are supposed to be different and if one woman wants to express herself one way shouldn't be down to the likes of your goodself to tell her she's wrong?
Sorry bit of a rant but to be honest, do-gooding (insert worst expletive) really get my back up.

As to the Sagan incident, the smug barsteward should have been smacked in the face, end of. maybe even sued for assault (no pun intended).

He was merely inviting you to think. The invitation seems to have been wasted.
