‘Just because someone is male’? Are you sure you meant to say that, NTKP?

"Mozz, no backtracking from me. He’s a bloke."


You can deny and deny Naomi but the Olympics allowed this person to compete in the woman's events. That means a lot more than your opinion. Just because you keep saying something doesn't make it true. I understand your position but you're coming across as a nasty piece of work. Not worth the discussion IMO if you just say things unwilling to discuss or think openly.

She competed in woman's weightlifting. - Enough said no argument no denial that's what happened.

[Mozz71]

Then Naomi, when you say "Call him what you like", you don't mean it. You want people to call her what you want, or you will bring it up.

"‘Just because someone is male’? Are you sure you meant to say that, NTKP?"

This is not some kind of joke, Naomi24. Your point scoring and antagonization has no place in these discussions. Grow up.

[ToraToraTora]

what we have here is a geezer that had no chance in male sport thinking he'd have a better chance in female sport and finding out that he was so *** that it makes no difference anyway. Nothing to see here.

[naomi24]

Oh yes, mozz, I do mean it - and I’ll call him what I like. That’s fair.

[NeedToKnowPlease]

Mozz71 I wouldn't bother if I was you. You can't have these discussions with people who show traits of intolerants.

[Spicerack]

AH and NTK. If you don't know what I mean by something, just ask me politely, without the gratuitous insults, and I'll do my best to explain it to you. Trust me, neither of you are intelligent enough to know what I'm thinking.

[ToraToraTora]

16:40 for BA!

[naomi24]

NTKP, you tolerant? Why are you being so rude to me then? That’s not very tolerant. ;o)

[NeedToKnowPlease]

I'm tolerant against most pinions that don't discriminate. There is no discussion here. I'm out.


Enjoy the room.

Simple question, if any of the current medal winning female olympians ,competing in any event where women do not compete as an equal with men, were given testosterone to match average male levels how many would have won a medal in the equivalent male event?

[Spicerack]

Tora. For the record, I'm pretty sure that Laura is the world record holder. Anyone can have an off day, especially in events like weightlifting.

[bednobs]

as an aside i have really been enjoying the mixed events - the swimming and the triathlon in particular

16:47, great!

16:47: Zero!

Spicerack - // Trust me, neither of you are intelligent enough to know what I'm thinking. //

Speaking personally, you are not intelligent enough to know what I'm thinking either, but that's a given, not something I feel the need to boast about on here.

The fact is, you presented an OP in such a way that more than one person has reached logical conclusions about your ideas on the subject, which given the absence of any information from you, is perfectly reasonable.

If you find those conclusions are not in line with your thinking, then the fault is squarely yours for not adivising your ideas in your OP.

People are not mind readers, but they are clever enough to deduce a reasonable assumptin from scant information.

If you are not happy that peole get the wrong idea, then explain yourself properly in the first place.

Don't be cryptic, and then get snitty when people fail to grasp your point, because you didn't make it for it to be grasped in the first place.

alidoc 16:47, Zero.

[ToraToraTora]

16:47: NTK , great.

[Spicerack]

None, alidoc. Although as has been proven, it would give them an advantage against other women.
