Oh well, let's have damn good laugh about it, eh? What a fucking hoot. Ten years ago my cousin was murdered for being gay. So here we're being asked to understand such homophobia, even have sympathy with it because the roots of homophobia run deep.

Joe Offer - in a recent PM you said that I disgusted you for defending MtheGM's right to call me a cunt in an open forum. One is reminded of Kurtz's famous line from Apocalypse Now: We train young men to drop fire on people, yet their commanders won't allow them to write fuck on their airplanes because it's obscene. And again, to paraphrase Apocalypse Now: Oh man... the bullshit piled up so fast on Mudcat, you needed wings to stay above it.
