I'm not fat!

I'm provocatively rounded!

Thats my perception, trouble is no one else perceives it the same way. :lmao:

Gentlemen, may I be frank:

To publicly name an individual and make personal comments (anonymously) on his appearance is not only frightfully rude but, I suspect, actionable.

Moreover, is this discussion really of any value to anyone reading?

We are only having a giraffe. The great (in more ways than one) Raymondo recieves many plaudits on this site as well.

The thread probably has no value apart from a bit of the craic. Which is nice.

I've just re-read this thread and can't find a post where anyone is posting personal comments about anyones appearance except there own.

Point taken, but is it really of any value?

Not to me, but if the forum only had posts that I considered of any value, the membership would just consist of me. Don't take it so seriously, it's just some harmless fun to take the P out of ourselves.

'Fatter than Mears' or do my eyes deceive?

He wasn't saying that RM was fat or being in anyway personal about RM, just asking if anyone was fatter than him. It could have been worded better with maybe 'bigger built', but is not anymore insulting than asking if anyone is fatter than Bear Grylls, me, Kylie or Giant Haystacks.

I agree 100% with you and I thought these days we had moved on from calling people fat, how wrong I was.

your house!
saying "fatter than" is not calling anyone fat, it's relative to your perception. my right leg is longer than my left but my left isn't short. as said in the OP " just for fun". after my brekie I think i've moved into the middle group now!

Perhaps it's because I'm shaped like a racing snake and thus not sensitive to it, but I have yet to see any insults slung in Mr Mears' direction in this thread. Merely referring to his build is not an insult, it's a statement of fact, in this context not intended as an insult.

Also this is a bushcraft board, probably the last place on earth youd find someone insulting Mr Mears. Most people probably have a carved wood effigy they keep under their beds and pray to it every night. Im a lot thinner than Ray but I get tired walking down the street to the cornershop :(
