Actually I took it to mean he was making fun of people who believe internet debates have any importance.
Which one is Rule #1?

Let's look at the rape comment in context:
Had it not been for Palin, Obama WOULD have gotten his landslide. He did not...because of the crowds she drew.
I'm I going to have to dust off all my old election charts and maps and choke a bitch?
Obama won every swing state with the exeption of Missouori, which wasn't finalized for weeks because McCain only won by 3,900 votes out of 3,000,000 cast.
Obama won Indiana. The first time since Johnson's landslide of 1964 that Indiana went blue.
Obama won Virginia. Also the first time since Johnson's landslide of 1964 that Indiana went blue.
Obama won Omaha. The whitest place on Earth.
Obama won North Carolina. The home of Jesse Helms. The first time in 30 years North Carolina went Democrat.
Now, watch me as I rape your face. These are the county changes between 2004 and 2008:
Watch me as I rape your face again. This the how much each county changed. The darker the blue, the more Democratic, the darker the red the more Republican
Nationwide, the country went heavily for Obama with the only Republican gains in Tennessee, Arkansas, and the Appalachians. Well done Palin! What a electoral powerhouse you are.
Let's look at the national polling shall we?
Oh my. She seemed to have helped for a week or so...until she opened her mouth and showed the United States that Alaskans shouldn't be trusted to vote for their own governor and should be devolved to a territory.
There you go. There's my rampant sexism. Ohhhh no. Ooga booga, I'm keeping the proud female down.
Just an observation, but for one of board managements favored posters you do seem to have your fair share of controversies. However, while that comment is disgusting, it's hardly sexist toward women.
No inherent contradiction in that statement at all.

Not at all. One can be controversial and yet still receive favor. Pretty simple really.
Once I'm a moderator I'll rule with a much more even hand.
Well it is fairly common to see shirtless men in everyday situations. Especially in the summer.
Nobody bats an eyelid when a guy walks around topless, this gender discrepancy is nothing more than cultural conditioning.
That doesn't make it right, but it does make it understandable.

Cool, then I can visit your internet paradise while I'm sipping piña coladas on my presidential space yacht with my First Lady Jessica Alba.
Exactly. This is why women have to go to court to affirm their Right to be topless.

Probably, but some people are more careful than others, and it never hurts to ask.

ALL women?
No, just the ones who live in places where it still isn't allowed, obviously.
The ones I want to party with at least.
WARNING: THE PRECEDING REMARK WAS SEXIST.
I'm chuckling over the idea of Squiggy being one of Bon's favored posters.
Lots of mutual love between those two kids....

Actually, I don't dislike Squig. Every now and then, I want to swat him, but that's the Romulan/Board Manager in me. 
If I didn't like Squig, I'd never speak to him. Period. I don't talk to people I dislike. I cut 'em dead.

I think it's time for this thread to be closed anyhow. When it turns to spam (as most threads inevitably do...)
But first, to sum up before the clang:
- Let's ease off on the sexism. There are a number of females (and even some males,) who don't feel comfortable with it, enough that action was needed. Let's make sure that this is a place where everyone feels comfortable posting, OK? I'm not looking to squelch fun, by no means, I'm all for fun, but a little less "locker room" would be good. Think about what you say before you hit the post button. Would you say it in front of your Mom, or other woman you respect? (Remember too, sexism goes both ways, woman can cross a line too.)
The Misc mods, if they say something, need to be heeded when it comes to this. Don't pitch a bitch, and DON'T act out in nastiness in response. I am hoping that everyone is mature enough to throttle things back. If not, don't be mistaken, I will, if necessary intervene if I feel you're doing this or if you're giving the Misc mods grief. I don't like passive-aggressive behavior, so don't do it.
As for the political threads. Remember, this is Misc. If you really need to be mean and get personal as opposed to just being critical of various politicians/political actors, then do so in a thread in TNZ, where those coming in to read/post know what they're getting when they sign up. Let's keep Misc more PG-13.
Again, that doesn't mean we're putting the jack-boots on and that we will be scrutinizing every single word/poster and squelching discussion, but use your common sense. If a mod asks you to dial it back in a thread, either specifically in the thread (or via PM) or if a mod posts a general "come on people," respect them and back off. Don't act out because you're pissed. Remember that you have TNZ if you really need to express your discontent in a less than polite manner. There IS a place if you really want to go a bit over the line with the words.
For those who are calling for a rule to be added or to have this be boardwise, etc., all I can say is "I don't think so." I'm not inclined to add rule after rule as situations arise. All that does is encourage those who need a life (and trolls) to nitpick to death and demand a rule/answer for each situation. It's not necessary and it's overkill.
Using common sense and more than that, being polite and respectful, to your fellow posters and to the mods, is all that is needed.

Considering that it took FOREVER to get rid of Cogley's vulgar avatar and Elton's "Jesusbusters" is STILL up I'd say that avs are a very open field.
