That's fair enough Suze, you should speak as you find. I'm not advocating a witch hunt, as I said, I rarely post in his threads but I have posted in this one as he has specifically posted a thread about the issues around his posts rather than a slating of yet another young attractive woman.
Wether or not people think that Eileen and I are reading more into his posts than others see is not the issue to me.
For me, the issue is whether we should ignore prejudice when we see it.
And we can all say that we are not a racist/sexist/homophobe etc - doesn't make it true.
We can only judge people by their posts and I have seen enough of them over the years by Poolshark to give me the impression that he has a real problem with women.
Especially young attractive women.
I know you're not advocating a witch hunt Veggie. I rarely post in his threads too, because I don't really have much to add to the ones I've read. They're usually just him saying he's done some housework, what he's cooked or is going to cook, or that he's pissed.
I just think that he is aware of how that language and tone that you mentioned has been interpreted and is attempting to set the record straight here, now. Fair play to him in this instance, at least.
Suzy I'm with you .........sometimes it's all about the language - or the way of phrasing things. TBH - there are female celebs that I go about - Jodie Marsh, Kerry Katona, Katie Price etc. etc. - I think PS speaks as he does - in a language that is all around him. I really don't think he's mysoginistic .............he sometimes posts in a way that rubs people up the wrong way - speaks before putting his brain into gear - I've done it myself!
We're not all the same - live and let live - I think it's OK to challenge but ........................let's not make a witch hunt ----------------agree to differ and if necessary simply avoid threads that yo know will wind you up.
It's a big forum - we don't always have to agree ....................and people shouldn't be made to feel bad IMO.
But I feel bad now Suzy.
I try not to post in PS's threads because of his language.
I notice that some people seem to get away with saying all sorts of stuff.
Other people don't.
I don't think it is right that women should be called "dirty slappers" or tosspots.
Well I don't think it's right that anyone should be called that.
BUT I am being made to feel the villain for saying something offends me.
