Is the “Ask the Gay Guy II” thread getting too long? I’d be happy to coordinate III if the mods so desire.

I did send an e-mail off to our good GD moderators but have not heard back from them. I’ve also been experiencing some slowness problems with the thread. Shall I go ahead and do this or not? I know, I really don’t _need_ anyone’s permission, but I’m just asking to show proper reverence to the Moderators That Be.

Oh, GAY GUY III. Sure, why not 😉

So, do gay guys grovel to the moderators differently than straight guys? Is this a controversial issue in the gay community? Do you feel that your shameless grovelling enforces stereotypes about homosexuals?

Rut-ro.

The Great Debates threads listing page as Dr. Lao having been the last poster, yet the last post is from Anthracite - and this all happened last night.

Methinks it’s too big for its britches. I’m going to start working on #III. If I could coordinate with the mods for a smooth transition of the closing/opening?

Much obliged.

Third gay guy? Hmmmm. Hey, maybe you can change the topic to written american sign language, in which case it would be:  
"man me, gay. topic number? three’ 🙂

I tried to post a test message, and although the post posted, the thread didn’t bump, and I got this error:

> [@](#):

Just an FYI for the techies - threads do have limits. 🙂

Let me kick this over to our GD mods and get them to do do that voodoo that they do so well.

Thanks.

Esprix, sometimes there are too many people on the board & you can get weird messages like that.

Sorry for the delay, but I was unable to get internet access yesterday.

It still seems like the thread is wonky, so I am working on starting Part III. Thanks for the input, all.
