Can we just close this thread?  The big fish in a small pond have spoken.  Enough.

Lol-!  It was kind of a poll at first----until someone (not me!) brought up the HC thread.  I really had no intention of going in this direction.  I just wanted to know if there were other women on the forum.  And then, as Pono said, a clusterf**k occurred.  Apparently not for the first time.  Anyway, let's have a poll about the HC thread.  And this particular thread that we're in right now, the one where I kind of got my answer through very roundabout means, can die. 
Thank you to all the people who pm'ed me---now let's vote.  Just one time each, please.
Is Admin brave enough to start the poll?

I just have to say.......I just absolutely can not fathom, with everything all around us, everywhere we look and listen, and everything going on in this world, what pops out when we turn on the radio or television, turn on the internet, how someone can possibly think, let alone say...they would not want someone to come here, would not recommend this place, wouldn't want anyone they know to think they are a member here.........because of a silly little thread. ANY of the threads here. That one is just simply beyond me. Oh my........

"hey, there's this cool place....you can find out anything there....anything to do with paddling....lots of cool stuff....but hey....watch out........"
"wait, maybe I shouldn't warn them......"
"oh..should I even mention that thread...."

oh.....the hand wringing that must go on.

yeah, yeah...."I won't even mention the place".....
maybe......but doubt it would be anything noticeable. A drop in the ocean?

hey pdlsrfr--i cant let your comment stand.

maybe, since you arent so happy with this thread, you should stay off it? maybe go ride a few piques. haha

and you should lose the offensive, childish tone---doesn't fly so good for someone who claims to be a grown up!

I agree!  This forum is too good to be avoided just because of one thread.  However....what about that poll?

Hi Spirit,

Any logged in user can add a poll.  If you would like to do so, I have no objection.

Are you serious ?? Have you read other posts on this thread? Offensive and childish tone,  your the ones offended by pics of "chicks" , maybe if people like you and the rest of America (and other zoners that are so easily offended by everything) just stopped being such a bunch of whiny cry babies every time your "feelings" got hurt or you don't get your way, we could go back to talking about stuff that really matters like fins, rail tape, board volume, and SUP related topics.

I mean seriously... a poll (no offense Cleveland but we know a poll on the Hot Chicks thread will hands down be a winner 90-10)!!

And I kind of like this thread as it's allowing me to express my feelings ha ha

I would if I could, but I don't even have a computer.

Derek, I do remember a poll on Go Pros and the results were surprising. I was hoping that many people who had not gotten involved in this thread would respond to the poll.

And then it would be easy to get carried away with survey design. I have a feeling that the results would not be 90-10. Or am I the only outlier who has never looked at it..

A Chinese Philosopher friend observed that we are constantly being bombarded by violent, sexual, and peverse images, sound, et cetera that numbs and disturbs our spirit or shen and are experiencing the results..
Let it come to you..

Many of the sentiments expressed in favor of eliminating the HC thread are well intended, but there is also the very valid point that one need only avoid the thread if they find it offensive.

I don't think the thread's mere existence deters many women from this forum. 

I'd say this topic has run its course.
