But you are OK with women who do the same, Martin?

Sure, they are more fun to watch.


Actually, no I'm not.

Ok honest answer Martin.

So, why do you think a section of society are not entitled to the same level of respect/acceptance as any other section of society? I can't see why you would find something that does not touch your life in any way, so offensive?

As a guy I can see you may find the concept gut turning, but then don't dwell on it, you probably have habits others would cringe at too. But the homophobia you display goes way beyond gut turning.

Presumably none of your friends are gay? No relatives? Colleagues? They are just individuals who have differing sexual preferences to your own. They don't infringe on your existence. They don't insult you for your choices.

Sometimes you speak real good sense. But the homophobic stance you take is too extreme.

Sorry to disillusion you Martin but the word partner, which I note you put in quotation marks for some obscure reason, means just that. If you are married then your wife is your partner, and in the instance of my son and his partner, [note lack of quotation marks] she is also the Mother of my grandson.
Interesting the way some peoples minds work.

Too extreme for you, perhaps.

Yes, I have a gay cousin. She is a disppointment to her parents. I like her, but they don't call it queer for nothing. She thinks that being gay is an excuse to be off-beat and she flaunts it.

I have known others who were gay including one guy who died of AIDS. What a waste.

I don't really dwell on it until it rears it's perverted smelly behind saying "hey notice me" which it does way to often.

Xander said

I already indicated remorse at my statement towards El Greko further up in this thread, and I apologised to him directly also. Yet some people continue to hit me over the head with my hasty words. What do they want, blood? How many times does one need to apologise?

But of course Xander (who started this thread) was El Greko and he was insulting himself.

It's not rocket science Bill - you just have to read the thread. However you are not the first not to notice it was a April Fool jest - perhaps because it started in March?

It was bloody hard keeping up two personalities though... And I don't just mean the admin of having to check every time my handle before I say anything. Xander had to be a specific person, with a specific character - slightly short fuse, well-meaning, persistent and a meddler.

Funny - I thought you had tired of the "Trojan Wars"... Or read about them and found out who won... Oh, I see now, this was posted 16 minutes before your latest reference; but I forgot to count it.

This should prove to you the appropriate way to deal with this person. Ignore him, and he will refresh very old threads to get attention. It proves what I have always said. He is a classic troll. This is his bait. Please don't take it. He will now launch into lengthy diatribe and a spate of cut and paste out of context quotes. Please don't feed him.

It is very tempting to delete all posts back to Roger's 'refresh', but that would only feed his paranoia. Another JC

Thanks for all the posts that have pushed this this thread (and this issue with it) back to the top. Yes just ignore me like Mick always posts and says that he does....*Smiles*

I didn't refresh this thread Bill - I refeshed it.

If you try to refresh any of the other threads on this issue - you will find that they have mostly been subject to imposed closure and that it is not possible to refresh or make any new contributions to them.

This one has not been subject to imposed closure - yet.

Sorry about this - I just thought that the Shambles hadn't had much exercise this week, other than growling away on the thead name change thread, so what better way to get him up and jumping than to trot this out?
