I find women attractive. I'm not judging anyone.

oxymoron - unless you find all women attractive.

 

You can make it one if you want to but then you're taking what I said out of it's original context.

 

I don't think anybody can find all people and all things attractive but if you want to discuss it, I think I do find something attractive in most people and most things. It's the hippie in me.

But in the context of the discussion you said you didn't judge anyone after making a comment on attractiveness, which as an evaluator is inherently judgmental...thus oxymoronic.

 

are we still talking about boobs?

I guess I should have said that I wasn't judging anyone based on why they were buying specific covers.

 

Hair dicer!

Finding someone attractive is not a judgement. It's a natural reaction.

The fact that publishers, artists, writers, readers and collectors still want/produce this kind of stuff is a sad indictment of the industry.

 

If only they could produce some well-written stories then I could probably live with having well-endowed women being thrust at me from the pages of a comic book.

 

They're producing it because people are buying it, so it's more an indictment of the consumer. I said this many years ago on here but I think some people buy these books and ogle cosplayers at cons because it's an 'innocent' and under the radar way of getting their soft porn fix.

 

Ok, if we are going to psychoanalyze that somehow buying a J. Scott Campbell cover means you are trying to get your soft porn fix, then please analyze the mental issues of all the 30-50 year old men on here read comic books with men in tights trying to save the world.

 

I didn't say fantasy of any sort was bad and I wasn't passing judgement. It all depends on how much of it someone needs. If you're going to teach people to walk off building ledges then I'd say you're over doing it. Regardless, I stand by my comment. Part of the appeal of Sojourn was the hot chicks and how Greg Land drew them, and I can say that my ex hated that book for the very same reason.

 

Remember, I'm a comic book nerd who happens to love stories about men in tights and I find women attractive. I'm not judging anyone.

 

 

 

I'm not sure liking women in the issue. It would be fine if you found men attractive...I wouldn't be comfortable if you wanted to pour hot wax on them though.

 

Raise your hand if anyone here has ever been to a salon (or some other place)where they used hot wax? and that stuff is not in liquid form, it's really just warm.

Tracy owns a salon. The painful part isn't pouring it on, it's pulling it (and the hair under it) off.

I dunno, ...I turn bright red for days, so I quit;)

 

If you guys enjoy that though and want to partake, I'm all for it;)

Eyebrows, ...don't read more into this than there is;) They use wax to shape eyebrows;)

Other areas, too, but I've never tried it.

[Jimmy Linguini]

I'm not judging anyone... Just people who buy nudity covers who are also sexual harassers

My point exactly

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

I don't get that guy. He keeps making sales thread after sales thread only to get them deleted. Why does he continue to waste his time? No one wants anything from him that knows him and his avatar is dumb as *spoon*

 

 

This is where it started.

 

I made his avatar.

I believe the intent of the thread was that people would post their story about an individual eBay transaction and buyer so that the rest of the forum could decide for themselves whether or not to block the buyer.

 

Instead, people were posting their entire existing blocked buyer "master list", one of which included Slym.

 

The argument is that it was unfair to post entire lists with no explanation of what the buyer did to deserve it. There was also an extreme lack of transparency where someone could have appeared on one of these lists because of a personal grudge or dislike or anything else.

 

If people began blocking these entire "master lists" then some people, e.g. Slym, may be unfairly blocked by someone blindly trusting someone else's list.

 

Exactly.

 

Unfortunately, now they've started a new one with zero vetting of the inductees.

 

Anyone using that list has a screw loose.

Ah yes, I remember reading that. However, it does not explain why he seems completely incapable of correctly listing a sales thread. Not that many of us would buy from him anyway. I am sure potential buyers love seeing a blinking suck on that avatar. I can't imagine that it fills his customers with a lot of confidence in the seller.

Probably true.

 

Although, as long as he was selling hot books, he'd find tons of buyers here even if he had a blinking avatar that said, 'I will ship you a German newspaper.'

In case anyone wants to try this out...

Slym reported his own thread.

What?! Really?

 

Yes, really. The fact there was a "master list" was really the problem, IMHO. So, I asked the mods to remove it.

 

If someone else wants to start a new one, my only suggestion is to keep it to personal posts, no "master list."

 

I'm sorry for any problems I may have inadvertently caused anyone.

 

I don't follow this. What do you mean by a "master list" and what do you mean by "personal posts"?

 

What is your objection to the "master list"?

 

The "master list" - the big, compiled list that has people (like me and others) in it just because some people (like CAL) put us on their lists because of personal reasons, not business ones. People copy this list, and with some people not deserving it, I don't trust a "master list." If people will post personal anecdotes about why they are blocking people (like YouMeChoose and RMA do, for example) then we can pick and choose who we want on our list, not referring to a "master list" that has people on it unfairly.
