Most excellent!
You can bet that one's gonna get forwarded.
Yikes.
Hey, I'd rather have Mimi's Lance Armstrong photo back.
Ladies,
As you know, Jeff & I maintain a fairly hands off approach to moderating the Team Estrogen forums.
However, we have received several complaints from regular forum users about this thread, so rather than being heavy handed and simply closing it, I'd like to ask that you all step back for a moment and take a deep breath.
We certainly don't want to offend the fine folks over at Bike Journal, and this thread most certainly has the potential to do so. They provide a wonderful service, free of charge, and have the right to operate and moderate their forums as they see fit. They should not be mocked for wanting a family friendly forum.
The postings on this thread have gone way way way beyond family friendly, and that disappoints me. I have neither the time nor inclination to heavily moderate these forums, and have always been thankful that we have such a wonderful group of intelligent, friendly, and genuinely welcoming women here. While I'm certainly not offended by some off-color humor now and then, I think we need to be careful that the tone of the forums does not become so ribald that we scare away potential new members that would find these postings offensive enough that they do not join.
Finally, I have the reputation of my company to worry about. If the forums become known for inappropriate behavior, the image of TeamEstrogen.com suffers. I can not allow that to happen.
So, I'm asking that you moderate yourselves so that we aren't forced to do it for you.
Thank you.
Susan
It's just like "offensive" content on television, no one is making anyone watch.Quote:

Let's just let it go, with our gratitude, of course.
FTR, I did not complain.

Susan, you make perfectly valid points, and we all should have thought of this before we "went too far". Apparently, even smart, responsible, supportive women can get carried away.
Thank you for leaving the thread and providing a gentle reminder that we about our responsibilities here.
I think it isn't really relevent to know who did or did not complain, Susan is doing the right thing here.
Thank you so much for providing this forum!
Hugs and butterflies,
~T~
I was surprised it went on as long as it did with censure (or censor). I didn't complain either, but got a couple of good jokes.
I propose that we refer to that other place as BiJou. ;)
I second that proposal.Quote:

Sorry.
"Aye".
sorry, all, I know I got a bit carried away. Like I said earlier, bikejournal is a great site, and I don't mean any disrespect to them. It's easy to get moderated there (at least it's easy for me) but they do it very nicely and I'm not offended by it even though I should disagree.
Peace, all!
Uh oh, everyone look innocent. :rolleyes:
I've been biting my tongue on this one - ah well, we sometimes get carried away.
Susan and all - please see my post in the "sorry" thread...
