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.[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace decries the SDMB community as “just a message board” and downplays the hateful nature of anti-gay rhetoric therein.[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace calls out a homophobe, but manages to turn the thread into a shrill diatribe.[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace slams MrVisible as a “sardonic, sarcastic, gay asshole.”[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace makes the case that marriages must result in children.[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace… well, this one’s hard to explain. (I think it was mocking scottevil, but no one’s really sure.)[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace directly insults me rather harshly.[/li]
[li]Wherein Ace rails against gay adoptions and takes a swipe at the gay community as well.[/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.
