Sadly I cannot (and no need to warn me, I will not) link here in this thread to info from another board but I really, really don’t think his judgment is trustworthy in a situation like this. Like, at all. His answer here about how he sees it as harmless illustrates that perfectly and lets me know not much has changed in his perspective since the first time I encountered his judgment on male/female interactions.

Although I don’t know anything about the incident **ladyfoxfyre** is referring to above, I think there is considerable truth to her assessment. Does anybody remember [this gem](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=8149611#post8149611) from **Idle Thoughts** in 2007, wherein he opines on a then-contemporary news incident involving a man putting his testicles in an unconscious woman’s mouth? I present here an excerpt for your reading pleasure.

> I lived on a college campus for about a year of my life and teabagging was almost a way of life. Granted I’m a guy and this was in guy dorms, everyone got it at least once. Were people mad at the time they found out? Sure. Did people laugh it off? Sure. **Did anyone get so outraged they saw it as sexual assult or illegal in any way? Not even close.** I was a on the pranking end a few times myself. It’s like depantsing someone.

Wow, indeed. In my estimation, a moderator who does not think that teabagging constitutes sexual assault is rather unlikely to take appeals about tittypix-requests very seriously. I admit to feeling some consternation regarding this issue.
