....I’ll carry on, because I’ve read the entire thread and it took blimmin ages.
I also have a working background in what used to be a male dominated industry (Chartered Surveying). I had to deal with all sorts of bad behaviour in the workplace which, thankfully, doesn’t happen now. Senior partner of top 3 accountancy practice dry-h#*ping my leg etc etc. Plus other stuff!
I have no problem with pictures of ladies with their tits oot - the joke is on you, boys. But, having pictures of lascivious tarts on SM promotional photos is a bit naff, in my view. If I want to post a picture of David Gandy in his swimming trunks, that’s ok! But I wouldn’t want him on a sticker on my Italian sports car. Oh, hang on, maybe I would?
I’m pretty rubbish at the technical stuff, but very happy to read and learn more, whilst lurking. A lot of you have considerable knowledge on the subject and I wouldn’t want to embarrass myself on techy posts! I think that’s why most people keep quiet in those ones.
As for really contentious subjects, I can’t be bothered to get involved in them. I admire people who are genuinely passionate about a topic. If someone was being abusive, surely everyone will just think they’re a ****? Everyone I’ve met through the forum appears to be intelligent and articulate and can make up their own minds. If someone persists at being insulting, can’t they be blocked after a warning? I expect you chaps (!) already do that.
One other thing, if someone new does post a comment, it would be nice if the regulars could comment back, just so they feel a bit more welcome. I see it a bit like being at a party when you don’t know anyone and you say something and get blank looks!
I think that’s enough of my waffle.
