Fighting the good fight, eh **blowero**? It’s a lucky thing. What ever would become of the gay people of the world were it not for your courageous posts in the face of such verbal tyranny. Now I know the true meaning of Christmas. But seriously, are you prejudiced against people who live in caves or something? Damn bigots. Can we get a banning here or what? I mean don’t you think the people who belong to ancient cave-dwelling cultures like the 23 ethnic tribes living in and around the Niah Caves in Sarawak would be offended by your insensitive language? Your ignorance only proves your ignorance :_snicker_: Jerkoff. (Who did I offend with that one?) DaLovin’ Dj ---

Gotta concur with **Sua** on this one. I am in an exclusive relationship right now, but no matter how much we have sex I tend to slap the salami fairly often. I mean . . . ummm . . . . I have a friend who does. Not slap _my_ salami but his. Well, _I_ don’t. His I mean. Yeah. DaLovin’ Dj ---

Slapping his salami would be one thing, but burgling his turds would be quite unacceptable. ---

> [@](#): > > To all of you stupid fucking cave-dwellers; try doing a newsgroup search on “turd burglar”, and see how many posts relate to homosexuality (Oh, duh…gosh…how about that, huh?). The fact that you are ignorant to the meaning of the slurs you use proves only that you are ignorant. Ya know, I once heard someone call a gay man a “punk”. Ergo, “punk” is an anti-gay slur. I once heard someone call a gay man a “bastard”. Ergo, “bastard” is an anti-gay slur. I once heard someone call a gay woman a “ho-bag”. Ergo, “ho-bag” is an anti-gay slur. I once heard someone call a gay man “Peter”. Ergo, “Peter” is an anti-gay slur. Blowero, you’re an idiot. Oops, is “idiot” an anti-gay slur, too? ---
