I think it's interesting that so many people are crying foul that UF_Pike was banned. I have to say that his outrageously sexist and offensive posts bothered me from day one, when he first came on here asking why sorority girls are so tripped out and on drugs, and I'm glad he was banned.
To those who think he should not have been banned and that those of us who didn't like his posts should ignore them -- are you saying that it is okay to run around saying things that are blatantly offensive to women, and that we as women should just smile and look the other way?
I would be willing to bet all the money I have in the bank that if this were a race issue instead of gender, many more people would have supported the banning of UF_Pike. I'm betting that if it were a race issue, nobody would say "ignore him" and "he's just trying to get a rise out of you." People would have been PISSED OFF.
As a woman, I take it very seriously when women are demeaned and disrespected. Don't you?

Thank you, valkyrie, for saying EXACTLY what I was thinking! Quite honestly, I find it disturbing that there are women on this board who have stuck up for UF_Pike. In my opinion, that's kind of like a Jewish person sticking up for Hitler.
Very, very disturbing.
