I'm totally happy.

This is Robin's baby, and he lets us hold it and coo all over it, without us being committed to changing it's diaper.

I travel the globe, and other than someplaces like Saudi Arabia, the USA has become a VERY conservative place the past 30 years.

The Pinside servers are in the USA.

If Robin no longer wants pictures of sexy girls playing pinball, that's OK. It's not like anyone is going to die because they can't find a thread about girls squishing their boobs against the playfield glass.

LOL

Offender would imply some sort of wrongdoing.

Robin and I have had exchanges where he clearly set the guidelines.

No nudity.

No porn.

All of my beautiful images of the male and female form were carefully censored to display absolutely no nipples (a big sin in the USA), no pubic hair, and no actual porn.

The same standards as you would encounter at any public beach or Sunday newspaper ad.

- and like I always say, if you don't like what I post, click the ignore button, I use it all the time.

I've been cranking to that same ad since 1975.

The ONLY way to leave Pinside is with a giant post explaining why you are unhappy and are thus leaving (again).

Then someone will say they are sorry you feel have to go, and hope you come back at some point.

Then someone else will say they are sorry that the people here drove them off, and it's a shame.

So you can't just deactivate.

You have to put some drama into it.

I thought that was Stern's Facebook with people traumatized about Whoa Nelly?

Pinheads are an old bunch.

I don't think there are any who are pre-menopausal.

I'm sorry a few crappy but vocal Pinsiders drove you off. Please consider coming back to us someday when it feels right to you.

And that's a good thing.

If someday their attorneys allow them to talk, you probably want to hear what's on the other side of a black hole.

I don't think it will be a huge reveal, but a fun retelling "Nov 2013, that's when I first got that feeling that I might be over my head...." would be interesting.

Or maybe even an apology at some point. Let them cleanse their darkened souls.

Broad is simply a shortened word for the phrase "Abroad Wife", referring to a local lover while your main squeeze is abroad. Traveling salesmen and real (non military) sailors use the term with much affection.

A show on PBS said that some people though that the term came from the fact that playing cards used to be called "broads", but they disproved that.

He'll say, "Are you married?"

We'll say, "No man, but you can do the job
While you're in town"

You need downvoting because sometimes someone makes an authoritative tech post that is completely wrong.

Without downvoting, someone might read only that far into the thread and take the posting as gospel.

Someone who lives an dies 50 miles from where they were born might not, but people who travel the world for pleasure or business will certainly use the word to speak fondly of a lover.

You cleverly edited out the part that said: " but it also might trace to American English abroadwife"

The more you know.....

....the more you have to check the references for yourself, LOL

Funniest thing in this whole thread

I quoted your entire post. What are you babbling on about?

I was very much alive in 1957.

Here is another term for you to study:

Ageism (also spelled "agism") is stereotyping and discriminating against individuals or groups on the basis of their age.

If a woman calls my Penis a "Cock", "Prick" or a "Hammer" is that OK????

Of course it is.

There have been pet names for genitals for 100000000's of years.

The hamburger chain Hooters got its name from a Steve Martin skit where he tries to find several non-offensive terms for a woman's breasts.

It's only when puritans (I won't point any fingers here) get crazy in public that we have terms for Chicken like "Dark Meat" and "Light Meat" because calling them Legs, breasts or Thighs is way too dirty.

Even if the sky does fall and many valued Pinsiders leave, the "No Hot Pinball Chicks Rule" can always be lifted or modified.

It's not like the rule is carved in stone.

What you are missing is that NO pictures of boobs have been posted.

No nudity at all exists on Pinside, it has never been allowed.

Tell that to your grandmother.

Yawwwwwnnnnnnnnnn

Not everyone got a chance at the same education we did.

Not everyone is a native speaker of English.

And anyone who uses Android Speech to Text on their phone is bound to post **great** results.

We must except that as truth.

Robin has asked you to be nice, and you just keep droning.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

I too quit posting on AVS long ago.

If you add a link you are accused by the moderators of "Promoting your own product", if you post too many times in a row (like a "how to" thread) you get a time-out.

Even sadder, is that it used to be a great site.

I pray Pinside never gets as moderated as AVS.

I get what you are saying.

I simply was amazed that there are about 200 posts in this thread that mention "Boob Pics", yet not a single boob pic exists on Pinside.

If a "Boob Pic" is any picture that shows cleavage at some angle, then we've got to get on my Sunday Newspaper editor.

100 of Boob Pics: Macy's, Target, Kmart, even friggin' Dollar General - What if a child was looking for the toy section and saw a woman in a bikini???? I'm appalled and sickened by the decline of Western Civilization.

FEAR!

Pinball Molly will quit Pinside with big drama, and then return under a new name from time to time - nothing to see here.

Robin said no more "sexy girl laying on a pinball machine" pics. The era of pin-beauty has ended.
