Ok so maybe we didnt deal with her very well but she did have a pic of a nice pussy! jimbob and i have owned cats for many years! she could have privately brought her dislike of james comment to his attention without being so openly agressive! For all she knew it was a genuine observation of her avatar, she lowered the tone!

Does any one else feel like a naughty child, for daring to stand up for some one!?

Show a ca and you will get cat, pussy, pussy cat, meaow and all other cat related jokes.

I always think of the Are you being served jokes when pussy cats are mentioned

A Very good point Mr Imber!

The BBC found it fine to joke about Mrs Slowcomes's Pussy on primetime telly in the 70's

Yet the same thing here in 2008 is Sexual Harrasment apparently

(Which I could take real offence to, but wont)

Yes that is exactly how I'm feeling right this minute!   We have lost a member through a careless sexual remark, and I am in the wrong for trying to help members (including ME!) see how and why!

Perhaps, as a woman, I should not be here!  I going out now before I do something silly!

I think chilling is a very good idea.

Ultimately, all please remember, that JimBob's has stated re. his comment

A) That is wasn't meant to cause any offence
B) He apologised for it
C) Pussy is also a long standing word for a cat, and is open to individual interpretation. You cannot guarantee the context it was meant in
D) Despite the fact that jimbob had it about him to apologise - nobody has turned around to him and said "apology accepted"

This is well out of hand

Fully agree James.

I think it is Mr ex Purple Plums is that either Jelly was out to provoke, or more likely a rather stuck up repressed sort or person.

I am careful what I use on a forum and tend to test the water carefully, until I know the the place, a lot different here as I was one of the first in

As to if she came back - if she needs help she will but not as Jelly. Checked somewhere else - not posted in there at all, (nor have many others )

I think what didn't help too much and I am not telling off complaining or anything like that was the robust defence of you by Mrs Bump.  I would expect similar from Sue if she was on the same forum as me.

Hey ho! I still maintain its her own doing!
I dont understand women who expect to join a car forum,which is male dominated, who think they can come in and demand things be changed to suit them!
Sexual harrassment, my ass!

well said ljay  

[unclelicklug]

No good can come of continuing a discussion like this one!!

It's not one where there can be a consensus at the end so FWIW I would advise everyone to 'leave it at that' despite the overwhelming temptation to have that all important last word.

Go in peace.

AS A WOMAN!!!!!!

i personally think that its time to MOVE ON! their is no point to the IF's AND's ands BUT'S.

We are all intitaled to our own opinion's.

Enough has been said on this matter and just think how it looks to a guest lookin on the forum.  :-/

[Entwood]

Before this turns into a really bad them Vs them sexual thing, as it seems to be developing ....

How do we know this "jelly" was a woman ?? she ticked a gender box in her profile and in her post that started the whole thing used the phrase, after Lizzie "assumed" she was a woman .... the only "proof" is her comment

It was especially nice to hear from Lizzie, being a woman.

which could actually be read 2 ways ..

now on  T'internet .. if it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, its probably a photoshopped elephant ....

so lets not get all male V female on this .... the more I've read all three threads the more I think "troll", "wind up" etc etc

We only have a few of the "gentle sex" (   ), please don't get all huffy and antagonistic, we need your tender input ...  

[FRE07962128]

I am saying no more on this.  I have made my views known and other people have made theirs. That is democracy!

Peace to all!

[Markie]

I've voted No here, although she obviously did take offence.

She must have been very niave to think an avatar of a cat would be ignored on a predominatley male site.

I did apologise for any offence caused, but maintain she was overly 'touchy' at a bit of very gentle banter.

So Jimbob - you gave a new member a backhanded compliment  .

One wonders of the reaction if you had mentioned that you didnt like the aformentioned feline creature  :-/

Time to move on as opinions differ on this and each to their own..
