Yes, it is. But that merely means vitriol is permitted, not that it is required.
And while I’m not sufficiently familiar with Lynn Bodoni to know how much it takes to make said administrator chime in with a request to tone things down, it does give one pause.
2) Yes, they stepped on a nerve. But of course, you probably don’t see why. Though as this is your first post in this thread as far as I can see, not to mention the originating thread, I wonder why you’ve crawled out of the woodwork to inject yourself into this debate.
I’ll admit to being a generally low-key poster, but can lay claim to one other post in this thread (on the first page) and one in the originating thread.
I understand the original gripe, although my view is that if PharmBoy was intending to make a homophobic comment, it was a pretty lame one (for comparison, I used to moderate on a discussion list visited by Ben Phelps (grandson of Fred) and one Charles Hockenbarger of the same so-called church – now there was some vile homophobic spewings) and if it was a troll, it was still pretty lame and yet somehow succeeded beyond his wildest expectations.
I just assumed it was someone trying to express a view about promiscuity but who did so in such a clumsy manner as to offend everyone in the process. Perhaps he should plead inanity.
If there is some history of acrimony between you and PharmBoy and/or Ryan that I don’t know about, then obviously there may be reasons for your anger beyond this immediate context. But I still haven’t seen anything here to justify it.
But, as you say, this is the Pit.
And this is just one man’s view.
And yet somehow I still managed to express it without resorting to obscenities.
3) Here’s your response, smart ass. Enjoy.
I’ll have it framed for my wall.
