Sexual Harassment And More

It may be hard, but you guys have gotta stop taking Joe's bait.

I can see him now, sitting back in his rocking chair, feeding his woodstove, and cackling to himself.

Times have changed. I read somewhere the other day that years ago if I offered up my seat on a bus or opened a door for a lady I was being polite. Today, those same actions would make me a sexist.

Times have changed for sure.....and not for the better!

I was just about to post the same. I've been around a few internet forums and Joe is the best troll I've seen. Knows how to push buttons, but resonates with enough people to gather some support. Never crosses the lines however, but can walk right along it. Seriously, how many 80+ year old men do you know that post regularly on the internet, long, well worded sentences, with proper punctuation and links? Oh yeah, and Joe never posts anything that contributes to the forum. Ever seen a pictures or tails of Joe on his trips to 'North of the Border'?

Just stop responding, he'll go away. Joe is most likely a 41 year old, single, white guy.....and I could go on, but that isn't likely productive.

Gave my wife a hug/squeeze and a kiss on the forehead in public. Over heard two young girls commenting how I was treating her like a play thing.

I Agree with you on that. But I hope you can look at it from this point of view. I having known you from the board and having met and chatted with you once would not mind if you hugged me at the banquet. With that in mind my comfort level would be much higher if you are wearing a blouse and pants/skirt, then if you are in a bikini.

LOL It was an hyperbole - exaggeration to make a point. Relax , it isn't going to happen .

C'mon Guys, leave Joe alone. He's livening up the joint.

Sharon - why would you want to wear a bikini to a hunters' party - some guys might have a few beers too many and take that as a hint - you wouldn't do that would you - tell me you wouldn't

I don't know Joe. I'm 71 now. If I don't do it now, when I am I going to do it ?

Yes, that's right. Although in mid-November you'd think we'd all be talking about HUNTING on the OOD forum. I guess it takes a Joe to keep conversation interesting. And he's not wrong about everything.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You carry yourself with Grace and would make very pleasant dinner company.
