Here we go again, let's make sure we tell everybody how to think and what to say.

Trying to squelch a conversation about "girls and pinball", is annoying and offensive in and of itself.

As always, feel free to look away. Heaven forbid you are exposed to such childish behavior.

The foul mouthed trucker language I'm cool with though.

Maybe we can buy her several rounds of shots at the next show to make her feel welcome. Take the edge off a bit.

Wtf does what anybody is saying have to do with how its taken by "less privileged" people. I don't get it.

I'm a redneck hillbilly and i have many friends in "low places". Because that is where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.

I'll protect my girls because I love them, would do anything for them and believe that family and friends are what its all about in life.

This thing has gone way off the rails!

It's just not possible to make "everyone" happy.

Different people, different walks of life, different attitudes. It is what it is. And whatever it is, ain't too bad.

No offense Pez but the world doesn't have "foster diversity" 24/7. People congregate and get involved with things they like to do, like pinball.

There isn't a secret nefarious code by the "vocal majority" to keep certain people out. People are here because of pinball and their personalities will come out. If you don't like it, that's tough titty for you. I don't mind what you or anybody else has to say because i respect your opinion to voice it.

The "diversity" police are the ones that perpetuate the problems of the past by constantly bringing it up, over and over again.

Things don't change overnight, its generational.

The world is "tailored" to anybody and everybody. It's littered with success stories of all sorts of people with different backgrounds, race, diversity, etc. No excuses

Is it perfect? No. I go with the flow, and try not to take myself too seriously. I like getting along with everybody, including you.

I have the ability to listen and see both sides of the issues, some people are simply closed minded to anything other than what they believe.

I don't like labels so "don't label me bro".

I don't fit into one category. I'm a little bit of everything

If I were to walk into a "gay and lesbian" bar I wouldn't expect everybody to stop what they were doing or how they think and demand that they should be "more accepting and inviting" to a more diverse group of people.

But I'd get along with anybody, just the way I am

More people should just try to get along, take the Judgey McJudge pants off

I didn't delete my post. It's how I feel.

The idea that I view my wife and children as "property" is f Ing Bizarre to me.

I would do anything for them which includes "protect"

All the women I observe from show pics, tourneys, comments etc. all seem to love being involved.

Maybe a few disgruntled females but the a hole/disgruntled males FAR outweigh the extreme minority of negative females

I have a big problem with anybody mistreating a woman, on any level, and I'd confront anybody that i saw doing it.

There are a hole losers that don't act right everywhere. Saw an older man tap his waitress on the butt and asked the young girl what she was doing later.

She handled it great, told him she was going to the nursing home and she'd see him there later.

Most women can deal with that stuff, my girls can certainly handle themselves.

The Op started a thread after not posting much, I think she is having fun, hopefully posts and gets involved more in the future.

Believe me, more discussion from women would be a welcome change!

You guys are amazing for doing it and I hope to get to an event soon! What a great group, awesome pinball reps. Pavball gets coolest pinball chick award.

Doesn't matter whether you are coming or going, all of my stuff including the pinball machines are in the garage. Everything else is theirs.

I'm playing my GBLE, hanging out, and plowing the frost off of a few cold ones. In my garage.

Ha! M f ing Silverballz. Man, I have to give him much more respect now. Thought he was just a whiner! Kick his ass and keep him in line playmatic.

Was it that older dorky dude that nobody seemed to be able to find? Hat, shorts and white tube socks?

F that, not only would I hold the door open for all women, I'd knock the lady down who tried to keep me from doing it

And then help her up.

OMG, I made a "funny"!!! Better have the PC assault police come arrest me. Cali, no wonder.

It's called a "joke". Or making light of the situation.

Would I actually "physically abuse" or "knock a female down"? No. But I thought that might be obvious to anyone with common sense.

I know, I'm in it.

Because you want to look sexy. Own, love it, nothing wrong with it.

If not, women would just wear blankets and head dress all over themselves.

Sexy is a good thing.

So are overly sensitive comments that have nothing to do about anything. Lighten up Francis.

I think I might be falling in love with you. JK

I do like a beer drinking lady.

I like this thread, nothing weird about it, and my favorite saying applies, "if we weren't all crazy we might go insane"

What's up Pez!

So isn't it kind of like this, you see a group of people talking in the corner over at the bar and you wander up because you want to know what the heck is so funny. When you find out you don't like the topic you immediately try and break up the conversation and tell everybody to leave.

How about just going back to the other side of the room if you don't want to partake in the conversation and leave the rest of us alone?

You really don't have to be the speech police monitor all the time. Life is a lot more "chill" if you just go along and get along and respect other people's opinion no matter what you think of them.

We all get how you feel, go ahead and express it here, but I'm sure you've delivered non stop tattles to the mods and Robin.
