I agree with what has been said also. I have to admit that I participated somewhat in the threads mentioned but at the same time felt they went a bit overboard. I especially felt that way when I noticed this person took their face pic off this site. I'd sock a guy if he said some of those things to my sister...though I don't have a sister.
Alan, I do have a question though. You said this:

Do you think the "degrading" started with the "Most beautiful women" thread? There's some tasteful posts of "Real" women in that thread, but what about the no name nudies? I think that thread may have raised the bar on what is tolerable. Along with the nudity you get the comments or gawking and then it quickly turns into trash. I'm not saying it should be deleted (heck no it souldn't), but I just think it raised the bar for whats acceptable on Nico.
