I see there's another one

88. Thanks for your post

I think it makes sense to define some spaces for various things. This will also get push back, of course, for suggesting the same, but it seems like a reasonable accommodation to say Sports Illustrated in sports, or if it's a cover meant for admiring the models in swimsuits, it might also be appropriate for other forums that want to host the pix. Obviously exceptions would include something like Superbowl covers, etc. - event related that's actually about sports, not swimsuits.

I'm glad Skinner locked the Kate Upton post, too, just to stop the current flaming.

I don't know Riff well at all. The only time I've interacted with her was during an insult moment. I think everyone who knows this situation here knows there are hard feelings on all sides about certain issues, and, tho certainly the SI cover is a news event, it didn't need to be posted in GD.

It was a general call out based on previous interactions. Of course, someone has to rise to the bait for that to work, so, duly noted as well. Riff, if you read this, I'm not trying to call you out, but I am saying... I think you can admit that certain people here have made you mad by the way they have characterized you, and this is one way to say "you know what."

Objecting isn't the same as rising to the bait of the post, as you demonstrate.

There are reasonable arguments for both sides - and unreasonable things too - which is what the Upton thread was about.

And, again, I would suggest that people use hide thread or ignore liberally if not doing so interferes with their experience of this site. I saw the SI thread, then trashed it. Not because I dislike Riff, but b/c I wasn't interested in any of the comments it would generate.

The reason why men "have to" post it here - isn't a "have to." It's again about insults that are freely delivered here between people who dislike one another or something someone has done. What the men don't realize is there comes a point when they're pressing their "cause" too much and this will create a backlash - which is what is going on now.
