I seriously doubt anybody suspected, even for a moment, that you supported those views, V.

Good question, here's why.

When you say stupid shit, you attract attention to yourself. When you say really stupid shit, repeatedly and loudly, you attract LOTS of attention to your stupid comments. When you drape yourself in stupidity, people can't see anything else, even if there is a reasonable person underneath.

And when I say "you", I mean anybody. But in this case, I mean you. That you say you would "off all the people at a gay pride parade", that qualifies as really stupid shit, and you repeated it, you've draped yourself in stupid shit. What else is there for us to see? What *should* we be reacting to?

I'm not gay. Aparentaly everyone here is... and that's why the communications gap. I don't expect you to see anything I'm here for the good times not to get caught up in some lost world.

By the teachings of Christ, Ibram is blessed:

Luke 6:22

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.


By the teachings of Christ, JB is instructed:

Luke 6:37

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Why not try what our Aussie Aboriginal Friends might call "going walkabout?" (doing so metaphorically, I mean)

There are many experiences to be had in the world. Have some. Perhaps you will gain insight from these self-defining experiences.

There may be a BBS that will be more in line with your beliefs and needs to be discovered.

I totally agree, but don't I have that right.. one mans junk is another mans treasure.. and besides that I really like the cellar.. I think Ibram is a great person (despite our differences) I do not doubt you guys have superior talents, it's just that I am a diagnosed skitzo/bipollar who is just now getting to the point where I am stable... I am trying to "integrate" myself back into society and this place has been a real help..

On the one hand, I'm all for punishing threats of violence, but on the other, I'm leery of sending a person with mental instability off in search of a forum where threats of violence against gays are not discouraged.

On the gripping hand.... I got nuthin.

To Ibs metaphor ... I see it as JB came into the coffee shop screaming and ranting and slapped a gun down on the table threatening to shoot.
Thats a little bit, IMO A LOT, over the line. Perhaps a time out at least.

Almost. More that he came into the coffee shop with a sandwich board proclaiming hellfire and damnation, screaming and ranting and claiming he has a gun at home, honest, and he's not afraid to use it.
