I promise I’m taking the comments in this thread seriously.

Some background, and for your perusal, a few links to edify all about why I regard **Ace** as a jackass of the highest order:

[ul][li][Wherein **Ace** rudely slams the South African HIV+ muppet](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2275856#post2275856).[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** decries the SDMB community as “just a message board” and downplays the hateful nature of anti-gay rhetoric therein](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2444502#post2444502).[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** calls out a homophobe, but manages to turn the thread into a shrill diatribe](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=134992).[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** slams **MrVisible** as a “sardonic, sarcastic, gay asshole.”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2442855#post2442855)[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** makes the case that marriages must result in children](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127683&perpage=50&pagenumber=2).[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** … well, this one’s hard to explain](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=127649). (I think it was mocking **scottevil** , but no one’s really sure.)[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** directly insults me rather harshly](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2201228#post2201228).[/li]  
[li][Wherein **Ace** rails against gay adoptions and takes a swipe at the gay community as well](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2183703#post2183703).[/ul][/li]  
So that’s some background as to **Ace** ’s past behavior, and why he has little to no friends on this board. To his credit, he does come to the defense of those he sees as being ridden roughshod all over, although his choice of those he defends is debatable (such as the anti-gay rhetoric - cloaked in Christian goodness, of course - of some of our more religiously conservative posters). And I’m even willing to believe that he has some gay friends IRL, although I’d bet that if they saw some of the things he posts here, they might not want to be his friend anymore.

And as to the comment I made, the intent was to tell you to go get fucked - it would do you a world of good. That’s it - no snide commentary on your sexual orientation, no veiled hopes you’d get raped, or whatnot (although I will reiterate I meant to insult your manhood, as I don’t see you as much of one). I don’t see a reason to retract that - particularly after reviewing all the assholish things you’ve said as quoted above. As I said, unwanted sexual advances are creepy and uncalled for, but the rest of the comment stands - I bet taking one up the ass would do you a world of good. It seems to work really well for the guys I fuck, so, hey - don’t knock it 'til you’ve tried it, bub.

And for those who think the “go eat some pussy” comment would offend me, it wouldn’t. Besides, how do any of you know I haven’t already tried it? Revel in the mystery, mates - gotta keep 'em guessing.

I will, however, make an abject apology to anyone other than **Ace** who took offense to what I said - my intent was to insult him, not you. I am sincerely sorry for that and hope you better understand where I’m coming from in this one instance.

No apology that includes the phrase “taking one up the ass would do you a world of good” is going to do it. You don’t seem to understand that a lot of people view this phrase as extremely offensive, no matter to whom it is directed.

As **gobear** noted, it would be like saying “Go count some money, ya Jew! I hope nobody else is offended by that!”

And if the phrase is de facto offensive, then it doesn’t matter if the person to whom it is directed has said disagreeable things in the past.

**Ace** has said that he is a heterosexual. If you’re telling him to take one in the ass, you’re saying something completely inappropriate on several levels.

I’d just like to be clear here Ace. The only reason I haven’t taken you to task in this thread is because, frankly, it would be a waste of my time. When I disagree with Esprix I can at least be sure he’ll listen to what I have to say. I doubt very much the same could be said for you. Calling you an ignoramus would get me nowhere. Besides, others have said it far better than I ever could. And they’re right too.

This nimrod gets good wishes via e-mail? Fucking brilliant. I guess I know where I rate around here.

Note to self: Must be more of an asshat.

**autz** , the point of an insult is to insult someone who has acted in a reprehensible manner towards you (at least it was in this case). I intended to tell **Ace** to go get fucked. I’m sorry others found such extreme offense in that.

Why? Straight men take it in the ass all the time. So do women. So do lesbians. So do gay men. I wasn’t attacking his sexual orientation, I was attacking his bullshit attitude that I’ve already provided several links to.

My mum uses the word “kurva” which means a whore. Is it the same meaning? Great word, I might use it tomorrow when I say hello to my elderly neighbour, “Hello, Mrs C, you _kurva_.”

**Esprix** , you seem to be having a bad neuron day. Straight men and Lesbians take a stiff dick up the ass all the time? I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you for a cite.

**Esprix** , I think **gobear** has pretty much summed up the problem. Rather than use your normal rapier-like wit to cleanly disembowel your victim, you have become the rhetorical equivalent of a suicide bomber. While you make have taken out your target, you’ve also done immense damage to yourself and to many innocent bystanders. Some kinds of insults just aren’t appropriate, no matter how “effective” they may be.

BTW, I pretty much agree with **Trion’s** last post.

Personally I also think **Ace** would benefit from a stiff cock in the ass, but only because he’d have to pull the huge stick he’s already got up it out first. A bit of advice for you **Ace** , loosen up a bit. There’s this wonderful world out there and every color, including lots of shades of grey, exist out there.

Enjoy,
