    Round of applause for Metro for standing up for liah. If Metro read liahs original post, Metro would see that liah asked for silly references to sexism to be put on the back burner for a while.

    So, why does Metro come and say something like this:



    It completely highlights Metro in the exact opposite way to what she wants to be seen as.

    I make points, but if I'm making a point during a direct discussion with a girl, I don't turn around and say "Are you going to ask me if I want to get in your knickers now?"

    Rhetorical device employed in the heat of the moment I think, which I'd usually make a concession for. If you could hear the things myself and the OH say in heats of moments :rolleyes:

    If you had pancreatic cancer with a life expectancy of a few weeks, how would you spend that time?

    This thread is like a session on Scotch: everyone gets angry, says the snarliest things, and then there are group hugs and people peeled off the floor.

    Naturally you're invited. Are you a sponge or a stone? runs

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I must tell you, I found your post offensive to the special offer in tesco on J.P Chenet Rouge - two for €10.








    DISCLAIMER: I am just pointing out how ridiculous the thread is getting, and not the subject of the thread in general.

    I must tell you I'm up in maine and theres this lovely hole in the wall of a beer store and if you haven't tried or heard of Dogfish Head Theobroma, you're missing out. Wooh. $13 for a pint and a half bottle; made with cocoa and chilies. Palo Santo Marron will also blow your mind.

    But we're talking about gender issues in here... ill be in bgrh :)

    You're thinking of Salem Oregon?

    edit: theres One Lonely Shop in Dublin that would appear to supply the dogfish head. Investigate!

    Correct



    Not correct, and if you read the last few posts before you waded in you would realise that the thread was approachig a rather positive end

    Oh yea, positive because Liah caved to bullying, had to justify her one old flippant comment in a thread in a really personal way. I actually still can't believe she felt that she needed to that. What business of anyone's is her life. I'm shocked.

    Liah doesn't speak for women. Just because Liah made a remark or started what would have been a lighthearted thread had it been about women doesn't mean that you can discredit this thread, perceived sexism and the opinions of every other female/ males poster here that feels the same way about AH, some of it's users and how it's been moderated in the past.

    And as for those links about sexism against Irish males. I read them. One was from 2005, one got a "This isn't PI - locked", one was by Terry, one was another sarcastic troll one that was a dig at irish women.

    There are far far more horrible and regular (oh so regular) threads about women and no poster here justified his even lighthearted comments with personal excuses about where he was in his life/ head at that period of time.

    Christ, this thread is a ****ing disaster!

    Never a truer word was spoken. And as we've started to go wildly off-topic it's time to give it a decent burial.
