- Even better...I just HATE to see negative stereotypes so boldly
- fulfilled. If I'm insulting anyone, it is out of ignorance.
- But for people here, arrogance, bad manners, and filthy language
- almost seem a badge of honor. And *you* have the GALL to accuse
- me?

- What exactly do you want me to "put up"? Nothing, from what I can
- see. You mean either agree with you or shut up. The longer
- I read this group, the more I understand the wall between gays
- and straights that you rail against so much. Somebody doesn't
- take what you say at face value, without question, and you resort
- to cursing them and filthy language; and you wonder why people end
- up with a bad attitude towards gays. Maybe you need to get out
- a mirror and you'll see where the problem is coming from. Maybe
- if people react negatively towards you it isn't because you are
- gay, it is because you are an arrogant, foul-mouthed person
- who shows little tolerance for those he asks tolerance of.
- But nah, that can't be it, can it??? Cast your vote yet?
-
- Count one vote (from me) for "get out". I've had enough of
- listening to people whine for support and tolerance/acceptance,
- and then turn around and have no tolerance for others, and
- threaten, curse, etc them. The whole thing is really pitiful.
