He only asked if the girls were agency models. Perhaps the GP photographer should be investigated too? Sensible people still accept it is possible to acknowledge beauty without any sinister sexual connotation whatsoever. I regularly tell my daughter she is attractive and intend to do so throughout her life until the day I die - and woe betide anyone who suggests there's anything sexual in that.

Be verbose and slightly pompous in your choice of language if you must. It is your right. But you also have a tendency to cast judgement on others based on insufficient information, and to suggest that you are better than others on this forum or the people about whom stories are written. On several occasions you have revealed your belief that you are educating your fellow posters. That is conceit of the highest order. If you do that, expect to be pulled up about it. Show a little humility and open-mindedness and I am sure that you will attract less criticism and ridicule. Oh, and learn to spot a joke - take the Nazi graffiti thread for example. Bon chance.

Why can't somebody express their ideas without ridicule. Town Dweller clams that most posters on here are educated, but, since you lack the ability to appreicate what I am saying and that there is such thing as quirkiness, I think that many of you are myopic. I have absolutely no intention of leaving this site as I believe that, as this is a democracy, I have a right ( yes a right !) to voice my sentiments and express my worldview.

When I was your age I would've been out in the snow. You really do need to lighten up and enjoy yourself. I know lots of people who enjoy learning but they still make time to have some fun. If you live your whole life locked in a room reading the thesaurus and various internet articles you'll end up a very lonely and depressed old man. Cheer up, don't take everything people say on here so seriously and enjoy your life. You may think your writing style makes you sound wise, I think pretentious is closer to the mark.
