[Closed] Sue Perkins

I don't need or want your respect for just being who I am ok? And I don't want to have to justify myself on a forum where all I want to do is talk a bit of nonsense about bikes and banter a bit, ok?

So why did you feel the need to come into a thread about Sue Perkins and tell us in great detail about your sexuality then 😕

Fair enough if you thought the comment was unfunny or in bad taste (it struck me as neither tbh), but what did that have to do with you justifying yourself?

This thread is useless without Tazzymtb.

why may I ask?

I'm not a fan of sue perkins as I find her about as funny as sticking my danglies in a bucket of rabid badgers. She also looks like harry potter. I'm sure that a lot of the chaps getting all excited about her and inadvertently causing offense are probably so far back in the closet that Aslan is a close personal friend.

Is saying that some is wasted because they are not of the same sexual orientation as you offensive? Personally I think it depends, if you are particularly sensitive I'm sure you can find things to be outraged about in nearly every thread ever stated on this forum. 😕
Some folks even seem to find great delight by being vicariously offended on someone else's behalf.

I've had gay friends say it "what a waste" about me (just goes to show that the stereotype about gay men having great taste isn't always true) should I now punch them out in the pub next time I see them?

a little bit of forethought about the phrasing by the OP may well have given the same message that he finds her attractive without causing so much stress to people.

Lets all have a nice group hug and cup of herbal tea and promise to think a wee bit more.

Sorry TSY I'll be a daft ****er on another thread.

Seems to me that some people are just attention-whoring ...

Frankly, if you post on a Forum that pretty much male dominated, then you just have to know what and what-not to post.

It doesn't take much to fuel some people's fantasies.

Common sense, IMO.

hmmmmmm older women 😉

sorry I'll get my coat

Did she?

in a roundabout way, yeah, over two threads, ecshurlee

You better believe it 😉

I'll just get my plastic rainhat.

Do you not wonder why all the heterosexuals on here had to make their sexuality so obvious as well?

no she didn't. She just demonstrated that in no way is Sue Perkins being gay a waste - just different strokes for different folks.

And there is no reason why she should have to self censor just to meet the expectations of a bunch of paunchy MTBers who don't seem to realise which century we live in.

😀

you really are a loon but I love you

That's just being ridiculous Junkyard.

why ? Men saying whether they fancied her /would sleep with her/could convert her was not flouting their heterosexuality ?

I think chipps should have seized his chance.

I'm confused.

Is anyone still having a go at me? 😀

Do you want us too?

It's a while since I have been bullied.

Junkyard - I've put up with stick on here, even had one saying I was on day release from the old folks home. Do I get upset? No, just laugh it off.

Thing is, if you post on a Forum, at some point you [b]may[/b] be offended. If you choose to be. In life one sometimes needs a thick skin and this place is no exception.

As an (older) woman, I've posted on here for a good few years now and I learnt pretty quickly what topics to stay away from or what comments not to make. As I said, common sense.

I've ridden with a shed load of people off here and they have all been really nice people, even the shouty ones.

Chance seized. Time for everyone to argue about something else now...
