Thread Name: BS: NJ Gay Governor quits!
Subject: RE: BS: NJ Gay Governor quits!
Mr. Olesko

My first post was to add some information that Martin did not have or include in his first post.

What you both said is still at the top of this page.

Martin said it was about being Gay you said it was not about being Gay. You did not add to what he said, you contridicted him. And rightly so! It is pretty clear that you corrected him whether you meant to or not and it is also clear that a number of people applauded you for doing so.

These posts are adding nothing to this discussion.

Please see my previous post.

This is enough.



I've seen your previous post. Respectfully, those are your opinions. You are entitled to your opinions but you are not entitled to tell me what to do and you are not entitled to critize me publicly and then insist that my response be private. You've publicly accused my wife and me of childishness and your inclusion yourself in that criticism does not mitigate that in the least.

Now you are implying that I am "sniping". Again, if you feel that you are sniping please speak for yourself. I am not sniping, I am calmly and politely pointing out that I do not believe that your criticism is justified.

If you tried to move this thread from Gay bashing to "a serious discussion about an event that took place here in NJ" that is laudible. If you want to apologize because you felt you were being childish, that is also commendible. Dragging Carol and me into that was your only mistake.

I again ask you, calmly and politely, to please speak for yourself.

Thank you.

Unless you are going to publicly apologize as you have publically criticized, I hope that I have heard the last from you on this topic.
