I vote we let this thread die and move on to stoke. The snow is falling.
Tye 1on is higher up the food chain. if you want a description of his role you'd have to ask him, I'm not sure how formal any of this really is. and as he said in this very thread, he made that call.Quote:

A well-intentioned, but stubborn and dense young woman took a position in a group discussion that it was incredibly sad when women stay home raising kids instead of pursuing a career. I made the point that it could be sad, if she were forced into it by society or by a man or whatever...in other words if she wanted out but was trapped....but for many women, a few ex-gfs included, the prospect of being a homemaker and not having to work and raise kids both is actually an aspiration.
Because it was me saying this, 6'3" barbarian-looking me, and not some middle-aged grandmotherly wise old woman; this spiraled quickly into attacks on me, angry emotional accusations of misogyny...etc. I defended my position well and thoughtfully for some time, including offering to call my ex-gf on speakerphone and ask her if I'd misrepresented her POV, and notably at one point a fake "white knight" made a horseshit show of trying to dress me down in front of some hot girl he was evidently dating. ..
Anyway, the key element there was that these young aggrofeminist girls couldn't conceive of women who don't share their values, don't share their disgust at traditional femininity and don't share their vague sense of constant victimhood, and indeed would rather stay at home raising kids.
Similarly, in this case, we have a few posters who can't conceive of women who like having their naughty pictures taken and think it's hot when men check them out. So, in their view there's no possible way any of this could be above board, it's just a bunch of horrible men victimizing innocent women. In their view this is about stalking unsuspecting women for masturbation, and nothing else. In their view, it can't be anything else, because all women must be like them, and they would never allow such a thing.
Does anyone have a word for the opposite of hyperbole? I'm looking for something stronger than understatement.Quote:

If that’s what passes for humor then this place is further gone than I thought.Quote:

I'd rather a pay for system that grants VIP membership to the Padded Room.
Take it away and make it cost money.
Increased revenue for TGR as well.

It's going to be even worse than this round.
The kracken will return.
Not if access is gained by a monthly fee.
She can't pay for it and then complain.
hypobole?Quote:

And now we've heard the first call to put the PR behind a paywall.
Like I said last night, the fight for the padded room is over. It is now all just denouement, waiting to see where the final lines will be drawn, where will TGR's virtual Berlin Wall be placed (or will it be a Trump Border Wall, overpriced, leaky, badly designed, built by the lowest bidder, laughed at by those on the other side, and ultimately bankrupting its sponsors?). I'm curious whether we'll see bands of intrepid rebels, sneaking over, under and around the enemy lines in the weeks and years to come, creating virtual underground railroads to sneak posters in and out of the PR, evading the watchful eyes of the overlords, and engaging in strategic sabotage. Oh, brave new world the PR will be.
Should we begin writing epitaphs, or is it too soon?
fuck you
you criticize the same forum you had to douche of your posts because you are a self serving asshole
Pretty good!Quote:

Look to how KQ's or klar's posts are received. mtngrl is caustic and the response is partly carryover from her notorious history. She is not being singled out because she is a woman.Quote:

To answer your questions - I'm here for the only English speaking international skiers online community there is. I'm a skier. It is almost all I do, all year round. Not just the weekends. I like many of the skiers here. I like talking skis and skiing with them. I like tech talk. I like knowing that they dig it too. Where else is a skier gunna go to kill time?
No one on the forum knows what will happen. The alarm bell was rung and we're waiting for the fire department.Quote:
No one was ever going to take porn or the Ullr thread away. But then the the frat boys went into classic TGR self-destruct mode and they revealed who they really were. They didn't ski the spaces between the trees. They stared at the trees. And they will now probably come really fucking close to hitting a tree. Fools usually get what they fear most.

Its all part of her cycle of
Anger>Drama>Reflection>Depression>Withdrawal>Retur n/Congeniality>Repeat
And yeah some people were assholes to her, but she acted like an asshole too.
