My first deleted thread

[User6179]

If I have to explain my view on those pictures at this juncture you need a help!

I never asked that !

Palerider posted -Aye, so long as she's done the dishes and finished her other chores first , then you posted " And there you go "

I asked explain your post " And there you go "

Would be interesting to here from a woman's perspective. I found them backward and retrograde. Just because you can find image's else where does not make it OK to put them on here for everyone to view .

I haven't actually seen the offending thread - guess it got deleted before I logged in today.
I am not offended by those old adverts, but then I am not British.
The Greek advert simply compares the Raleigh's allure to the allure of a disrobing attractive woman. It is of historical cycling interest.
Of course, the other pictures might have been more explicit, not suitable for CC: I seem to recall that even the forum members on naked bike rides did not post the more explicit pictures of their rides, to keep to the forum rules.
Btw, also backwards and retrograde are old washing powder adverts of women feeling blessed to iron their husband's socks, or the modern advert for make up in this thread.
Still, I wouldn't say they offend me, more like annoy me.

I have to admire the way you can post this so confidently

But then have to ask this

To two different people ?

 

[User6179]

And I said it was a good point well made, to which you responded that I was wrong - so you did understand it after all? Or are you just thick?

We could be at cross purposes here!
Or I might be thick !

 

[User6179]

So they are, what of it?

Troll on

 

[User6179]

So you are a bit thick then. The point was exactly that the same point was made by both a man and a woman.

I'll take that as a no reply.

If you have a problem then explain it or I cant answer it ?

 

[User6179]

You missed the point totally.

It was the fact that the women had absolutely nothing to do with the bikes which made it amusing. It was not about belittling women or any of that political Clap trap. It was just the total nonsense of it all.

No one could seriously thinks you posted to belittle woman , everybody gets apart from a few it seems how absurd these Raleigh posters are !

The sexist type comments are just a further expansion on the posters but some people on here just don't get the joke !

 

[User6179]

You are so right, he clearly posted it because he has a keen interest in the history of cycle adverts.

Your a funny guy !

If the nuckle draggers are so interested in Antique Cycle Posters better start a new thread ... Mind ya back for the stampede !

I have been on here for quite a while now and have posted lots of threads.

I have just had my a thread deleted, my first ever, on any forum, of any kind.

The thread was about advertising for Raleigh Bikes from back in the 50/60s. The advertising were sketches of scantily dressed Ladies. I have no idea how they related to Raleigh Bikes, but that was the amusing part. They were cheeky at best, certainly not offensive.

They were deleted as they were "Not suitable for Cycle Chat Forum".

They were so unsuitable that they were already getting "likes".

I understand and respect the need to moderate sites like this but this was just someone with the power at there elbow being puritanical.

Have you got the link for it, i think i am old enough and wise enough to make up my own mind, if i don't like something on tv i don't watch it.

[QUOTE 3358578, member: 9609"]Quite funny to see so many jumping onto the wrong band wagon - clearly you all have dirty minds. Take another look at the ads link - "No Helmets" not suitable for a cycling forum for the inevitable trouble it will cause.[/QUOTE]

And take it upon themselves to realign the moral compass of others.
