And for some weird reason he hates me. Go figure. I dont think I’ve ever had a any interaction with him. He certainly went ape-shit on me. ---

No knee-jerk on my part. I’ve thought long and hard about it. I don’t like people being upset with me. I try to amend my behaviour if I find it’s wrong or upsetting or if others do. IF, I feel I’ve been wrong. I couldn’t find anything other than a difference of opinion. And he flew at me. He got modded, I got told to shut-up, so I did. ( in that thread) ---

Yes, if Flyer is acting like a jerk toward you, I think that merely places you somewhere in the spectrum of decent civilized human beings. To the contrary, it would be a cause of deep concern if that fetid teratoma took a _liking_ to you. ---

Any more quaint notions from him and I’m going to start suspecting Flyer of being a hipster. ---

C’mon people. Don’t you know that there are no homosexuals out there, only people living a “homosexual lifestyle.” And that they can PRAY THE GAY AWAY? One such nonsense believer told me that if I get a good relationship with Jesus I will be so happy that my radical feminist lesbian sister will see how happy I am, turn to Christ, and stop living her “lesbian lifestyle.” It takes a lot to get me totally speechless, but my jaw just dropped. To quote Marge Simpson “I can’t begin to tell you what’s wrong with that statement.” ---

There are a couple pretty funny replies to his suicide note. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > And… he just committed suicide by mod. It sure reads that way, but seven hours have passed since his outburst, and nary a peep out of **e\_c\_g** or any other staffer. I’m almost wondering if I should report the post, just in case. ---

Screen name Flyer, and location listed as Colorado…I’d guess the Air Force, which has huge sexual assault and religion problems. Colorado Springs isn’t known as the conservative armpit of the state for nothing. ---
