Old Horse Murphy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I really think this Forum needs to lighten up a little. It's really hard work some days. Just my opinion, but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheBigBeefChief Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 "You are an attention seeker, you seek to provoke argument. I'm not going to argue with you, but my opinion is as I stated. I'm a bloke, but frankly this "LADZ ON TOUR!!!1" bullshit makes me sick. It needs stamping out." - Wil My new favourite post. I don't understand how my original post is sexist? If I enjoyed f*cking men I would have said the same thing to a bloke. Nothing but equality here. Sounds like someones tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this one for example. A light hearted thread and a bit of banter and then someone thows their toys out of the pram in mock indignation. Its like Old Horse Murphy says, this forum really needs to lighten up a bit. If someone tells a joke and 100 people laugh and 1 person is offended, who's the one with the problem?

Hutton Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If you want to see Tal on DVD then pick yourself up the Crossroads 2007 DVD. She plays on it with Jeff Beck. A great young player. I just hope it's not too much too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARGH Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Fit chick Bassist... SO f***ing what..... She can out play most of us,and looks good too,marketpersons dream if you ask me. And Jeff Beck wouldnt take a talentless musician out with him on tour? Rhonda Smith and Gail Ann Dorsey have been doing the same for years. Crude comment TBBC,but Im not crying about it.

I am telling you what the reason was for some of our female registered posters not wishing to come onto this forum anymore. We can all have a laugh, sure, but be respectful to those on the forum at the same time. Why should a user feel unwelcome due to a minority who are spoiling it? 100 people can share a joke but it only takes 1 to take it too far.

tombboy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Personally I found BBC's comment funny. It reached my gutter humour. It is also blatantly crude, possibly not to everyone's taste. I think the issue here is not this particular post but a culmination of his attempts to provoke a reaction (+ or -). He's very good at baiting and casting and we are the hungry fish chomping away. It's a forum, not the house of commons (we're actually better behaved!!) but it's also a community. My suggestion to BBC? Keep the humour but think a little before you post and don't be too humble to retract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
