I find it funny how some people are quick to support the closing of the thread because it had suddenly become offensive in their opinion, yet at the same time, bash and demean the OP (and others) on their personal ideas and opinions on the thread. A little hypocritical?

Couple things
- You make it seem like the thread in question was some sort of forum for topical and at times controversial discussion. It wasn't. It was a thread full of scantily clad women. I visited it. I enjoyed it. But let's call it what it was and not pretend than it was anything more than it was.
- I think for many people when they read some of the concerns expressed by women in our community, and then looked at that thread again with some new perspective - it no longer felt like a positive part or progressive part of the community.
Changing your mind on something isn't being hypocritical. It is have the self-awareness to realize that at times - you may have had it wrong.
