Wow, I hate that I pretty much missed out on what's going on here. I've read the HLF and boy toy threads, but whatever Adam said in Rankings is gone forever. And I suppose that's for the best. The best I can tell is that his constant harassment of HLF (which I admit was starting to get really annoying) finally caused a lot of people to go crazy. And he was starting to take it too far with the direct references to sex. Coming at it from an objective viewpoint (rather than an "I hate Adam, and he's being as ass, so let's get rid of him before it gets worse again," standpoint, nor is it coming from an anti-HLF sentiment either), I have seen HLF make many similar comments about males. To take both of them at their words, they're both just joking around. And while I admit that Adam definitely crossed the line, since HLF never directed any of her comments to any particular forum member as far as I've noticed, it still always seems to me that derogatory comments towards males are taken less seriously than those directed at females.

And I know it oftentimes seems like I stand up for AWK when his ass is in the fire. But that's simply because everyone's so accustomed to Adam doing something stupid, and also so ready to get a chance to kick him out again, that the mob mentality rushes forward as quickly as possible, so I feel the need to play devil's advocate. And if anyone remembers, I was pretty vocal about wanting to ban him the first time around. And I meant no disrespect to you either, HLF. But let's just try to play fair in terms of treating both genders with respect.
