    Goldon the only troll on here is you! You have been looking for an argument on here for weeks about this stuff. Continuing to post comments about it long after everyone else had stopped talking about it.  Part of me thinks you don't even believe half the stuff you say but just out for the attention.  As for people claiming bullying?! Give me a break, it can't be bullying if he's the one continually trying to provoke people!

    I didn't call Women "Tarts" .......you lot did.  I'm defending them against Tart callers. Women have the right to wear what they wan't any where.   Their Choice not yours.! Think you can have the last negative word.?

    I was born in the 50,s when I was in my teens I wore hot pants the mini skirt,So yes I am stuck in an era  that is the same as goldon,Last night my husband came in to the kitchen and said I have just watched little mix on the tv and said gee those girls leave nothing to the imagination and said he did not like there outfits,So not much has changed then over the years as to womens attire and I am sorry if I offended some of you with my bullying comment,I will now stay away from this thread regards to you all paige

    The only one trolling is you. Everyone else had moved on and you keep bringing it up to start an argument.

    I certainly did not call women tarts.

    You say Argument ........I say Discussion. !  

    You say I'm the Troll ......... I say "Troll Buster"

    You say Provoke ............. I say Inform.?


    You can't have a discussion if everyone agree's.? I may not like what they say but it's their view and entitled to it.

    Pingu wrote a well written, considered and opinionated post about how  he believe poker could be better marketed to encourage more female participation, your response to that post did not inform anybody of anything, would not enhance any type of debate/discussion and would only antagonise people further.

    How is that not trolling? What response were you expecting or hoping for?

    ^^ Really not the most considered of responses goldon. I get that it is tongue in cheek (definitely no pun intended)... however EvilPingu has written a very well thought out post which you have replied to by highlighting 1 word 'bottom'. Seems incredibly immature and a bit tastless. 

    @EvilPingu... I think the analogy about the pubs, while probably accurate a lot of the time, is a little 'sweeping'. I fully agree with your points about the womens tourneys and the rake idea is very interesting. It really would be great to encourage more women to play poker and I am surprised that more is not being done considering the current challenging poker industry conditions.

    +1, glad Goldon provided us such a great example of the kind of person most female players wouldn't want to share a tournament table with for several hours in his comments, also why bringing headphones to live Poker is actually a really good idea. Some genuinely cringeworthy stuff from him on this thread.

    Agree with what you say about it not being the case for all pubs - However, I think women who haven't played in a pub game will still often have that stereotype of what a pub game would be like to play and be put off by that, even if the dozen or so regs at their local £5 pub game happen to be the loveliest blokes around.

    How many chaps would take their wives( partners ) or girlfriends to a casino? A  tiny, tiny percentage.

    Maybe, but that's one thing that will change over time when more women begin playing live Poker. And a well run, well advertised casino promotion with the aim of encouraging women who have never played live before to give it a go, and to return, could be a catalyst for that change.

    Could you please explain " The school bullies turn into trolls and advocate violence" please.
    Are you saying I am a bully and advocate violence?
    As this is in response to my post that is the way it looks.
    I look forward to your apology.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you'll get a reply full of gibberish, ridiculous pre-school punctuation and outright sexism mixed with some awful attempts at humour that only amuses his 2 friends, Paige and Maxally.

    If new people look at this forum thread and are seeing people condemning the sad old sexist then this is a good thing.

    It would look much worse if Goldon's desperately outdated views we're being given the green light and encouraged by fellow posters. Instead, he's being rightly ridiculed by the vast majority of level headed, genuine, good people that frequent this place.

    You're playing right into his hands though. He is obviously looking for a reaction and everybody is queuing up to give him one. 

    Why not just ignore him?

    In the strip Poker scenario would the Girls be down to their underwear or the men sitting in their underpants ?
