Gay Book Flap Erupts Again At Lexington School - Page 16

And...

You're going to start growing hair in certain places, breasts will develop and here are a few sample pads for when you start menstruating.

To give credit where credit is due, I really must say that this thread turned out to be far more entertaining than I had anticipated. I was so out of touch that I though it might just be a lot of "yeah, that?s pretty creepy," or "yeah, he has a right to be upset." That kind of "harrumph" response. But you have edumacated me.

First: You throw out every diversion, decoy and evasive action to avoid answering direct questions. Some of you actually know the latin terms for them. Then, and this is where it gets great, you have the nerve to accuse me of the exact same tricks. It's, prima facie, boolsheet.

And what really draws me in, in this sort of Hitchcockesque, vertiginous way, is the uncertainty whether it is self-aware, self-deprecating sarcastic humor, or genuine mental myopia.

Anyway, the whole Pink Pistols thing was so worth the price of admission. Truly a gem for my favs.

We now return you to the verbal moshpit, already in progress:

warning- jordon is a troll.

please ignore any and all of jordon's posts.

I take the Devil's Advocate on "trolls" - aren't they entertaining?

I mean, for those of us who post on message boards while bored at work, a conversation generated under false or contrived pretenses is just as stimulating as any other, and in reality, actually indistinguishable (to any meaningful degree, in this vague format). Didn't we explore the issue? Didn't we flex the muscles of our social conscience? What was bad about that? I don't understand ignoring anybody, unless they are flooding the board to a disruptive degree.

i can see that flint. the only thing that seems wrong about jordon's posts are the calls to violence against homosexuals. he has, in previous posts, said that murder is due to gay people. that's over the top to me. because of that, i think its only right to ignore the putz.

Flint · 04-27-2006, 10:12 AM

Oh, I missed that part. 16 pages = I miss some stuff.

Physical violence is not cool or funny or acceptable.

That was the presumption I had when this started, but Jordon's refusal to answer any questions made it pretty one sided, and then when he said that gays would be tortured worse than Matthew Shepherd, and it would be their fault, conversation with him became worthless. I'm happy to debate the topic with people who can bring up legitimate points, but trolls are only entertaining to a point.

Yeah.

twentycentshift · 04-27-2006, 11:13 AM

that's where i was heading, really.

nothing wrong with stating a point of view, no matter what it is, but it's just not right to call for someone's harm.

i plan on letting people here know this stuff, and to ignore jordon's posts. he doesn't deserve to be engaged in decent conversation.

Stormieweather · 04-27-2006, 01:40 PM

No, why? Do you feel invisible?

No

Allow me to throw this into the mix. Our genetic splicing technology has advanced to the point where we could theoretically form a gentically unique fetus from two eggs or two sperm(I'm not quite sure about the specifics but I'll look it up). Do you think that two gays would be within their rights to have a child created from only their DNA as opposed to a donor so that they could have a kid that was 'theirs'?

Jordon doesn't answer questions, and I agree with you.

Ibram responded to you a couple pages back, though.

Shit, Flint. Where were you when I was having the "tying up your teacher is not a practical joke" argument with LJ?

(FYI This was long ago. The question is actually rhetorical.

Well, you're quite welcome. You can always tell when someone's really had his paradigms adjusted.

Of course, some folks take better to it than others.

Oh...wait...you forgot your meteor...
