Steve Irwin - all balls or just a fraud?

Mr Irwin was in the news recently because he, umm, died. Some say he was an amazing man who did a lot for animal conservation. Others say he was an exhibitionist, an egotist, even dangerous. What do you think? .

Not nice at all

ilovecaboose · 30/11/2006 22:59

why post this in two different sections?

One is enough.

ilovecaboose · 30/11/2006 22:59

and I agree with BH that poll isn't nice.

RTKangaMummy · 30/11/2006 23:00

GO AWAY

worldgonewild · 30/11/2006 23:23

As this is the 'Men's room', it has been posted in here as well for them to read.

Go and get some manners.

Go away please.

Plenty of people post the same thread in different sections. People got mad because the subject was discussed when he had only just died, understandably. No reason why it can't be discussed now.

If you don't like it, don't join in but no need to get nasty or accuse people of trolling.

Grayham · 01/12/2006 00:41

Who's getting nasty? I just forgot to add a smiley
Also, I don't think he was in the news just because he, umm, died.
I don't see the point of polls like this anyway. Maybe it'll change a couple of opinions somewhere in the world but people who enter polls like this, or read them, generally have their mind made up already.
And why not have the poll when the man was still alive when he can defend himself or even maybe change his ways if he does accept that side of the argument.
I'll get back under my bridge

WGW - men do read other threads as well. No need to repeat it here.

eidsvold · 01/12/2006 02:40

a shame there is not more passionate people fighting for a cause in this self obsessed world.

redbullandbump · 01/12/2006 06:38

is there any need for this???

Just think how is family is still suffering from a great loss, im not coming back to this thread

clerkKent · 01/12/2006 13:01

I think I will give up on the Men's Room. Three new threads today - this, "How Much Does Your Cock Weigh", and "DH Has Manflu" (every entry there appears to be from a female). What is the point?

UnquietDad · 01/12/2006 21:36

I know, and I tried to start a semi-serious one a week or so ago ("how would dadsnet be different") and mostly got oh-so-clever sarky suggestions from the ladies, digging up every stereotype they could think of...

Steve Irwin? Leave it. His family are still grieving.

Pann · 02/12/2006 00:41

yes UQD...bit too much of an easy target......

SantaGotStuckUpTheGreensleeve · 02/12/2006 06:25

Well, go on then - how would "dadsnet" be different?

I'm listening

Nice to see you back Pann, after your unfortunate departure

UnquietDad · 02/12/2006 11:20

Read my first post in that thread.

ludaloo · 02/12/2006 11:23

aw.... not another Steve Irwin thread...can't we leave the poor man alone??

SantaGotStuckUpTheGreensleeve · 02/12/2006 11:25

I would, UD, but I can't blooming find it

Pann · 02/12/2006 18:22

Greeny..it's currently 10th thread down on the Men's Room thread list, entitled "How would Dadsnet be different?"

SantaGotStuckUpTheGreensleeve · 03/12/2006 09:17

Thanks Pann.

What a weird and unpleasant thread.

Tortington · 03/12/2006 09:34

jesus - they guy is dead. have you no decorum?

worldgonewild · 15/12/2006 07:26

'No reason why it can't be discussed now.

Well said St George!

The poll is throwing up some interesting results

Steve Irwin was someones Daddy and Husband.

If you can't say anything nice, say nothing.

That's what I was taught.

expatinscotland · 28/12/2006 23:24

Fuck, not this old chesnut again!

We already went there.

People got offended over strangers they don't know - let's not even get started on the Rich Hammond threads! - and a bunch of folks basically got all bent out of shape.

Yawn.

RoundTheBend · 29/12/2006 00:00

Killing myself laughing here! You call that a poll? Only 31 replies/votes! Get a life Worldgonewild. The man is dead, why attack someone who cannot defend himself? You obviously have nothing better to do with yourself tonight. YAWN, YAWN, YAWN.
