[Closed] Time to fess up...

He was riding a mountain bike.

Well that limits it to about 1% of STW then 🙂

Picture could have been a bit bigger GMP.

I bet someone on here can still ID the bike though, if not the rider.

In every case the women have been caused genuine harassment and distress.

To be followed and then stared at by a stranger is, at best creepy, and at worst really sinister.

Yes I can believe that. Hope they catch him soon.

Sorry, but what part of a guy on a bike sexually harassing women and making them feel vulnerable and threatened is funny?

If it was your wife/daughter/gf/mum that was on the receiving end of this guys attentions would you find it appropriate to make jokes?

Can't be that hard to find a MTB'er with only one arm!

and wearing a dark baseball cap

Has to be from pinkbike

i hardly see how its an escalation, i think its a valid point. With all the guff that was posted on the "girls you could watch all day thread" by the OP i think this thread and its implications are a bit inconsiderate and hypocritical.

mines got a valid point in it though.

Or, some of us have realised that binners' joke is at the expense of the members of the STW forum, rather than the abuse/worryment of women.

The irony filter is broken again I see

I post a thread about a bloke who follows girls, watching them, and ask if it was anyone on here. Then you get all huffy, and go on to mention the (frankly tragic) thread "girls you could watch all day", where plenty of people on here went on about... well... girls they could watch all day.

Brilliant!! 😆

You can read it that way if you want, i read it as someone posting a link to a story about harrasment of women and a laugh out loud emotican, i took that as them thinking it funny. I suppose you could take it as a joke, a not very funny one and one that people who don't know the site or binners online persona wouldn't find so humorous.

EDIT its hardly the same, a thread about lasses you like and going out staring at them in real life making them feel harrassed and uncomfortable..

Well at least Tom seemed to get it. You carry on with your righteously offended indigence if you like though 😀

I will, i'm sat here seething and loving it.

what tyres for perving?

Binners, have you considered my question? If so, what's your answer?

If it's that you still think your "joke" is appropriate then I'd be dissapointed, but not surprised.

You can bang on as long as you like about being ironic, but it's an indefensible position in my mind and I'll not apologise for the opinion of you that gives me.

This thread definitely made me laugh.

What tyres for binners engaging reverse gear...

Hope they find the perp, not nice at all.

Is it time for the Manchester Defence? 🙂

As some one who finds the joke funny, allow me to answer BigG

The abuse of women is not funny, nor is binners sugesting it is (honest). What he is doing, effectively, is calling STW forumites a bunch of letches (you know, the type that giggle when they hear the word 'boobies') using a news event, linked to said forumers (the bike bit) as a starting point.

Jokes go off a bit when you have to explain them, twice, don't they?

Did he have a camera bag and uncomfortably short shorts?

Jokes that need explaining, twice, aren't good jokes.

It didn't need explaining twice.

Where's Jamie when you need him?

OMG! Did you notice the user name of the first reply on this thread? I'm outraged.

I'm offended that your offended and I'm offended on behalf of other people who many be offended by your offence!

btw, the "joke" might backfire if it turns out that it's actually Hora.

I was hoping for a better argument than this, i've got to go back to work in 5 minutes and my sense of outrage is diminishing rapidly.

*Looks through "for sale" section of Horse and Hound in frantic attempt to find higher horse than anyone else*

Tom, I absolutely got the point of his poorly made joke. I don't need you to explain it.

My point is around how downright innapropriate it is. I'm not suggesting that Binners thinks it's OK to abuse women. I am suggesting he's made a crude, badly judged attempt at a joke.

it's actually Hora

Glad I'm not the only one thinking it....

BigG, what is your opinion of Benny H[s]ora[/s]ill?

Anyway it cant be an stwer , the article states he speaks to the women

Agreed, they not stop going out and doin shit like and then coming on ere acting disgusted to cover up the fact it's them in that picture. Bang out of order.

Outwageous! 😆

See, this site is why I don't need a telly!

Jeez, some folk can't wait to start an argument can they.

*Goes off to watch the nsfw Blurred Lines video and put the bike away*

Someone on here needs to get him self s'ome.

It can't be a STW'er- thats for sure as STW'ers are socially awkward around other humans in person so a STW'er would be like Raj Gupta in the Big Bang Theory around women.

Its probably a Wythenshawe/Salford scrote on a nicked decent bike (it looks decent- Fox forks?).

funniest ever was when a middle-aged Chinese guy was repeatdly reported flashing at women in a local park and my bestmate turned to mrshora and said 'seriously, is it your dad'? (no irony/joking). 😆

that phot fit is SAM HILL..go on take a closer look.. always knew he was dodgy..

im outraged.....not sure why but its seems to be the done thing these days. anyone up for a group ride....we could go wild life spotting?

mrcrispy - how much was your chimney survey?

(edit- I'm appalled by your grammar too)

big g,me thinks he doth protest to much 😆

How poor are we talking? surely not iPhone 5 poor? 😯

Yeah, but you've got nowt better to do than read what we post and then comment on it. YAWN!

Anyway it cant be an stwer , the article states he speaks to the women

😆

tbh as hilarious as this thread is that's properly weird and is a horrible incident waiting to happen.

I thought it was innapropriate.
Then again, I'm one of those crushing bores who doesn't find sexual harrassment all that amusing.

but 'women you could watch all day' threads are fair game? oh the...

[img] [/img]

I wouldnt know if sexual harrassment is funny or not....no one has ever dont it to me 🙁

Where's Jamie when you need him?

Is that an alternative thread title?

Raj [b]Gupta[/b] in the Big Bang Theory

really?! might wanna check that one out, jim davidson...

I'll email you hora ref the woodburner stuff

It can't be a STW'er- thats for sure as STW'ers are socially awkward around other humans in person so a STW'er would be like Raj Gupta in the Big Bang Theory around women.

So we need to arrange a Manchester based STW ride out where we can practice social skills, like harassing women whilst riding a mountain bike?

but 'women you could watch all day' threads are fair game?

Seems like [i]you're[/i] missing the point now. There is a difference between talking about lasses you like from the comfort of your own keyboard and going out harassing women in real life. Don't you talk to your mates about lasses you like? Can't say i've had a discussion down the pub about the best ways to intimidate and harass women.

EDIT- and i find it highly sexist that you have a picture of a woman doing the ironing, equal gender rights tha knoz (am i kidding? probably not).

Can't say i've had a discussion down the pub about the best ways to intimidate and harass women.

You need to come on the next STW pub meet, then we can fix this for you...

Good point.

You're right. Posting your masturbatory droolings about women you'd actually be scared to talk to in real life, on an internet forum, is fine. Dignified even. And not at all terminally tragic as I'd initially, foolishly stated

My mistake. Apoligies. 😀

This thread = 😆

Heh. Binners is getting all passive aggrrresive 😀

Who and what i touch myself to is none of your concern. I am concerned however that you find sexual harassment and intimidation so amusing.

See, in real life in this situation, you'd probably say, "sorry about that, bit near the knuckle that one".
But on a forum it's more "no, not saying sorry, so there!" 😀

...what i touch myself to...

Is that how you wish your post to be read Dabble?

And your name is an amusing innuendo in itself - you might want to change that. 😉

Ooooo nasty knob burn potential there!!!

I find some inanimate objects are very arousing. I make no apologies for this.

Whereas picking people up for their sexist conversations happens all the time "in real life" eh? 😆

.... I reckon its TJ

no one to talk to, unable to relate to people without causing upset, no helmet..... it all fits

Without wanting to come across all holier than thou, yes, it does.
I don't do the "agreeing with racism, sexism, etc. to be polite" thing.

Sometimes things need challenging.

(who mentioned racism anyway?)

The not coming across as holier than thou went well, I thought

The part where it was definitely Simonfbarnes.
