@mickle doesn't like the use of certain words because of their associations. I am sympathetic to his arguments. What I find bizarre is the number of people that argue he's wrong or dismiss his arguments as silly or worthless.

Surely if people get upset by something, we should acknowledge and accept this. The upset is real. It's not posing or posturing. I find many of the responses on this thread sad. If you don't like what he says or haven't a counter argument, just move on. Don't post, don't even read it. As my mother used to say, if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

Please let's not go looking for other offensive words. It's not big and it's not clever.

Quite worryingly I didn’t think it was serious. After all the English language has altered many times, with words having many meanings to different people, and those meanings altering over time and area.

I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
er, you have eyes?

The OP doesn't seem to have.
This is a question mark:

?
Having read this again I think I follow what you are saying.

You are apparently under the impression I don't know what a question mark is. Let me reassure you that I do, that's why I asked you to point it out as there was not one visible in the post I was referring to.

Clue - it was the post without a question mark.

Well if the post had no question mark, you must be looking at the wrong one.

Not going to repeat myself - have asked the OP twice - OP's contribution to own thread minimal so looks like a out up job to me am afraid.

Don’t worry we seem to have some wires crossed. FWIW I wasn’t trying to say you hadn’t asked an initial question. I was replying to cycleops who seemed put out that someone offered some explanation of why the OP might not have replied. He called that a question so I was using his wording. I could have been clearer so that’s on me

As he has vanished as well, no point in us dragging it out either.

What's your issue with porn?

In view of what's kind of implied in your post (correct me if i'm wrong) i recommend you switch your filters to on plus on before googling or binging bike porn.
My issue with porn? It's well documented that pornography is enormously damaging to both the 'actors' and to the viewer.
