You don't have to beat yourself, there's plenty that will line up to do it for you. Sincerely though, don't feel bad, you are not the first and certainly wont be the last person to do something with all the best intentions only to have the wheels fall off. :D :D :D :D Would you feel better if I gave you another RED, trouble is "SOMEONE" seems to be erasing them, thus completely destroying your hard earned reputation.
Kind regards

Post pictures. We'll see if that upsets the those who get upset.Quote:

Depends on the type of wood, what you used to shape it, what you finished it with , and how.Quote:

I hedded down the street to pick a good stick and what did I see!!!!
Stick to woodwork.
Personally I dont find any of then offensive, however IF I had a female type man with me viewing these posts I would have some feelings of embarasment.
as for them being !!! youv'e got to be joking, go to any mechanics workshop and look at the calendars he has on the wall, (same as the ones in christophas dads part of the workshop)
Some of the female members may be offended, dont remember seeing a response from any yet, but I feel that they should know us here by now and realise the male persons here (was going to say members, but thought of the obvious consquenses for that!) would not intentionally set out to insult or offend.
I also feel that providing the poster places a warning, let the viewer be warned, as long as they stay tasetful, and common sense prevails.

My $0.02 worth.
Kev ;) :rolleyes: :cool:
Still browsing and found this:
http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ewpost&t=11089
The difference between the pics and this is??
NONE, pics are ART, THIS IS A JOKE!!!
however I am sure that there are some who would find that post offensive if it wasn't posted by a woman!
Kev ;) :rolleyes: :cool:
simply put, I dont find them offensive.
However I dont see the need for them on the board, maybe if people want them here a seperate category could be made??
Ok I'm a girl, and I don't find any of the pic's sexist or degrading to women at all, but that is MHO. Partly cause I am ok with my sexuality and I don't class them as .
I really appreciate those that think these types of pic's shouldn't be posted in respect for women. But for me, I am thickskinned, head strong and nothing too much bothers me.
Thanks,
I hope MHO has helped some.
PS.... Did ya's like my use of Abbreviations HA HA HA :p

Or in long hand,
Very clever in your use of abbreviations Gemi, keep going. :p :p
only just got to see this poll, been on holiday(interesting weather they have in NZ :eek: ) hence no earlier reply!
As I sit here I've got my sister's christmas present to me an "original british firefighter calendar" up by my desk ( located so that it doesn't cause huge offence to my male colleagues ).
From a personal perspective the first two pictures are obviously meant to titillate ( hence the captions ). Hopefully the models got paid for it - and undoubtedly they had a totally boring time posing for the pics("just move your boob two mm to the left irene, hold it hold it, stop moving about ....etc etc .) They aren't pictures that I personally would look at for enjoyment. The third picture looks like three women with less than perfect figures who are enjoying themselves and made me smile.
As someone who has in the past had complete strangers comment on the size of my backside or tell me that they think I'm ugly or that I should smile more etc etc and watched a close family member battling with Annorexia ( and fortunately win ) I'm only too well aware that we live in a society where women's looks are frequently more important than their personalities.
The pictures didn't leave me reaching for the smelling salts but if I want to look at a naked woman I just take my kit off and stand in front of a mirror....I would personally prefer not to have such pictures on the bulletin board or at least have them in a location where I don't have to waste my time opening something which is of no interest to me.
I suspect that if i was one of the many women who've had a breast or two removed due to cancer then I would be less than happy about stumbling over the first picture without any kind of warning.
my 10c.
As one of the female members, (more lurking than posting!), I don't find find the pictures degrading, unnecessary maybe but not degrading. I don't think that pics like should be banned from the BB as long as it is clear what is in the post.
I'll just ignore them if I'm not in mood to view. There's much more interesting topics to browse through.

Personally I don't find them offensive because I can't see em. Hmm it looks like they have been deleted. Also why is the 3rd page of this post just about identical to the 1st??:confused:
