If the main concern was the fact that "other" people can see what we are saying here in OD, then why not make this a private area? Which I suggested in the "Buckeye Planet" discussion???

I thought another point of this was that the PC police were not going to be invading this area? Which apparently it has with full force. Am I wrong? Was that not said?

Who exactly are the PC police?

I can tell you this, this thread has had attention of every mod/admin on right now not because we're looking to shut people's voice down but because we fucking were told to tone this shit down because it had become a serious issue for the man who put this site together in the first place.

my basic view:

maybe we should have a poll about the word "homo". I mean, I should be getting offended when people use the term "fatass" or "lardass" so should that stop to? No, they are only words, and if you aren't thick skinned enough to hear a word, then maybe the Internet isn't the place for you?

Couldn't this be considered offensive? Are you saying girls can't throw as well as boys?

In no way whatsoever did I ever intimate that girls can't throw as well as boys. I did, quite obviously, distinguish the fact that girls throw differently than boys. Just wanted to clear that up for the potstirrers.


Oh, by the way, girls can't throw for shit. On average, of course.

"Hey, you throw like a girl!" Ever heard that on the field while playing ball with your friends? If you have, it means your throw kinda sucks.

The Girl Throw - What Is It?

The "girl throw" is that gimpy throwing style a lot of girls seem to have where it looks like they're almost "pushing" rather than hurling the ball. So what's the deal with the "girl throw?" Well, before going any further - let's get one thing straight. GIRLS CAN THROW. And many can throw harder and faster than a lot of guys. Softball players like Jennie Finch can chuck a ball close to 90 miles per hour. But many other girls still seem to throw really weird.

Many people think the reason for the "girl throw" is that guys and girls are somehow born with different kinds of arms and shoulders. Sure, there are a lot of physical differences between <TABLE width=10 align=left bgColor=#0044aa><TBODY><TR><TD>

So what's the real reason. Well, it comes down to "practice makes perfect." Most boys grow up learning to throw - either playing catch in the backyard with their friends or by joining Little League. There are lots of girls that play baseball and softball at a young age as well. But many never learn to throw when they're a kid because their parents don't teach them or they chose to do other things. It's the same reason why kids from France speak French better than most kids from America - it's because they've been learning to talk that way since they were born. The bottom line is the phrase "throwing like a girl" is really outdated - because many guys and girls throw really well, and many don't. So the next time you see someone on the field (guy or girl) with one of those strange throwing motions, don't say, "you throw like a girl". Instead say, "you suck, you're a loser, you can't throw at all, you should be embarrassed to even be on the field. Go play for the Cubs."

I understood that the first time you posted it. And I respect that. Completely.

I think what the real problem here is that a lot of people are confused about what is acceptable here in the OD anymore.

You ever get beat up outside of a bar for no other reason than your in a bar where fat people hang? (And, I have no idea if you are or not)
You ever have to worry about a constitutional amendment banning fat people from getting married to other fat people?
You ever get kicked out of your family for being fat?

Making this (OD) a private area would be helpful. Clarity will need to make that change ... IF and WHEN his is able to do so. Until that time, the staff is being asked to curtail the bashing. Why is that hard to understand. Tone it down. That is Clarity's wish. When (if) this forum becomes hidden from public view than the reigns will be loosened.

And I DON'T want to hear about our 'censorship'. People still say what they want ... there will just be penalties to pay.

PS Thump was never funny :lol:
