FYI- this didn’t go over nearly as well as you might think…

“And the women aren’t much better! Hamadryad and Kricket and Falcon and Eve and, well, 90% of the women on this board are heterosexual - why do we keep having to hear of their sexual exploits and men’s proclivities and whatnot?”

—Esprix! How DARE you assume I’m heterosexual!

Let me just thank Esprix and everyone else who’s posted to this thread – watching you skewer someone who obviously deserves it sure as hell made my morning at work a lot brighter. Although he made it pretty easy on you… kinda like swatting a fly with a bazooka. :smiley:

Rich, sweetums, why don’t you take a look at this summary of a study from the University of Georgia?

Please let us know your thoughts.

Kisses!

We’ve all seen guys like Rich before. The poor bastard is so sure of his beliefs that no amount of noise we make is going to change his mind. This clearly isn’t an issue he wants to discuss. He’s evidently been around long enough to know what the response would be.

I think he just wants to watch the flames and somehow feel vindicated by the irrational responses of others. He may be saying to himself “All these fags and fag-lovers go on and on about how we should all love and accept everybody. But look at how angry they get when I state my reasonable, dissenting opinion (which, by the way, is the view that I’ve been taught since I was a child by my church and government and parents and society as a whole). They’re such hypocrites. I knew their arguments weren’t worth shit, and this proves it.”

[sub]It’s bigotry masturbation…

I can’t believe you said this. A drag queen wouldn’t be caught dead !!
Besides, Rich obviously doesn’t have enough soul to be a queen. He’s not even a good homophobe.

But Eve! Sweetie pie! Unless you’ve really changed your mind since this thread, and haven’t been sharing the good news with all your online friends, what do you expect?

Sorry, Eve, but I gathered that you were. If you’re anything but, then welcome aboard! :smiley:

I took a quick look at Rich G7sub’s posting record, and found some alarming results. He has posted in the following threads, and I would like to examine whether or not it was appropriate for him to post there, and/or if he was flaunting his heterosexuality in the process:

[ul][li]I’m NOT a homophobe,but… – Well, he definitely has expertise in this field.[/li][li]Breasts - As a heterosexual, he is within his rights to post here, but he would definitely be flaunting his sexuality by doing so.[/li][li]Worst TV Series Ending - As an HVAC engineer, as stated in his profile, I don’t see the relevance to the television industry.[/li][li]Another sexual poll – First masturbation - I’m sure we can all agree that he mastrubates. Furiously. If, however, he explained that his fantasies involved women, then, again, he’d be flaunting his heterosexuality.[/li][li]If you were suddenly 8" tall… - I think it’s safe to assume he is, indeed, not 8” tall, so posting here would be right out.[/li][li]Spy Plane - ‘Destroying Sensitive Equipment’ - Unless those planes were carrying HVAC equipment, I don’t think so.[/li][li]I could be doing better in the sex dept… wait, let me rephrase that… - I think we can all agree that he needs help in the sex department, and, again, if he mentioned women, he’s flaunting it.[/li][li]Men At Work/Construction Man Thingy Guy… - This thread would be acceptable.[/li][li]Recast: Who would you put in Star Wars today? - Another unknown link to entertainment, and if he mentioned Queen Amidala…[/li][li]Turn off the cell phone! - Inquiries must be made as to his cell phone ownership status.[/li][li]Canadian teams best in baseball, heh? - I believe he has already established his U.S. residency, so this is also a no-go.[/li][li]What happened BRAVES fans? - Not a professional baseball player, so no.[/li][li]A Breast question for Doper Ladies. - Two breast threads? We have definitely crossed the flaunting it line here.[/li][li]Every song on the album is great? - Not a professional musician.[/li][li]What’s Your (Baseball) Team? - Another baseball thread, so now he is not only flaunting his heterosexuality, but his baseball fetish as well.[/li][li]Any Saltwater/Reef Aquarium hobbyists out there?? - I’ll grant him this, as it’s probably his only hobby. (Perhaps he’s not heterosexual at all, but has something in common with Troy McClure?)[/li][li]Should I buy a condo with electric heat? - Definitely an HVAC link.[/li][li]What should I call non-handicapped people? - I do not have evidence one way or the other if he is handicapped or not.[/li][li]The U. S. Military and total abstinence - Regardless of his military status, his discussion of sex (or lack thereof) may indeed be another of his expertises, but I’m sure he referred to a lack of heterosexual sex.[/li][li]Sexiest Doperchick Paegeant - Why can’t you just keep your sexuality in the bedroom, where it belongs?[/li][li]Post your…((insert boring statistic that no one will read here)) - Statistics your hobby?[/li][li]why were parachutes white? - Paratroop much? Perhaps that’s the military link from above.[/li][li]Places to eat in London - Been to London?[/li][li]Hey Tequila Mockingbird…Wow! - I suppose it would depend on if he was flirting in this thread or not.[/li][li]Old people’s clothes - I do not get the impression he is an old person, although he may, in fact, wear old people’s clothes, I don’t know.[/li][li]USMC and Navy - Another military link. Now we can firmly establish he’s got a military and/or uniform fetish as well. (It may also be his implied heterosexuality is a ruse for this baseball/military thing he’s got going.)[/li][li]Truely Bad Song Lyrics - Another unverified entertainment link.[/li][li]Deadline - Stock Market Game - I find it hard to believe he’d be smart enough to be able to play the stock market, but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.[/li][li]New baseball glove, proper care - Further evidence.[/li][li]Bowel frequency anyone? - I think this speaks for itself.[/li][li]My cat won’t stop pooping! - A budding bowel fetish?[/li][li]Help Cranky Improve Her Fantasy NASCAR team! - More heterosexuality flaunting.[/li][li]Anyone ever been in a wreck/almost a wreck because of a woman? - Oh, and sexist, too.[/li][li]Being sick in a dorm room sucks. - Well, we know he’s sick, so this one’s a go.[/li][li]Do you lie to your spouse? - I sincerely hope he’s not married.[/li][li]People you wish would GO AWAY! (no Dopers) - Sure, he belongs in this thread, but only to be added to the list, not to post to it.[/li][li]New Jersey jug handles - He does live in New Jersey according to his profile, so this is acceptable. I hope there aren’t any other New Jersey threads, however, or that would definitely be another aspect of his life that he’s flaunting.[/li][li]First Date Movie - Again, I find it hard to believe he’s ever had any date at all, so the jury’s out on this one.[/li][li]sports team plane crash - A baseball team, perhaps?[/li][li]Did whispering on submarines really make a difference? - “Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines!”[/li][li]Is it possible to get famous these days if you’re ugly? - I could believe he’s ugly, sure…[/li][li]what drives you crazy in Windows? - I don’t see a computer expertise here, so I’m going to vote no on this one as well.[/li][li]Waddaya do and waddya earn for it? - As an HVAC contractor, I’m sure he earns a paycheck, so check.[/li][li]Why the Canadian flag has a cannabis leaf on it? - Now we’ve got a Canadian fetish going.[/li][li]I HATE doing F@#$%& Sheetrock!* - I’ll give him this one since it’s along construction lines.[/li][li]Regional Condiment Prejudices - Regional? As in the New Jersey region, perhaps?[/li][li]Nucler Power…I LOVES ME SOME!!! - HVAC does not include nuclear generation, so nope.[/li][li]Car breakdown, speculation requested - The roads in New Jersey are pretty bad…[/li][li]Engineering licenses, again: One very specific question: - Given.[/li][li]Celebs whose fame and success just baffles you? - Yet another entertainment link.[/ul][/li]
So that’s all of them. Certainly a small percentage of these threads Rich is qualified to post in, but I see a disturbing amount of flaunting - his HVAC knowledge, his residency in New Jersey, and some kind of musician/military/baseball fetish, as well as, of course, his sexual orientation. We all know you’re all of these things, so couldn’t you please just shut up about them already? Jeez…

I think my research speaks for itself. Hopefully, Rich won’t speak at all.

[sub]memo to self, never piss off Esprix[/sub]

Darn it all!!! Eve beat me to it two pages and one day later!

Esprix love, if you remember, I am one of those poly-bi type peoples.

Now, what I do keep throwing up in everybodies face is my aparent ablity to be a breeder, and I enjoy it!
I find a way to mention that in every thread I enter.

I am pretty sure that in one of the pit threads somewhere this was discussed already, and somebody made me a motto something like the “were here, were queer” one, but I cannot remember it.
I need to find it and change my sig line, to be sure that everybody knows that I am proud to be a poly-bi-breeder freak raised by a wild pack of lesbians.

Oh Esprix…you’re just pouting because I haven’t flung myself at you in a few days. :wink:

Besides, I’m PROUD of being a flirt. So nyah. :wink:

I have been lambasted for starting this post,perhaps deservedly so.I started this thread to answer an honest question that I had.NO offense was intended OR implied and none has been personally taken.If one rereads the OP you will see that my question STILL has not been answered.
Let me restate the question in a form that would be more clear to those that would read something into this that was NOT intended.

>>> WHY DO SOME GAY MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD SEEM TO RESPOND, REPEATEDLY,TO POSTS THAT WOULD APPEAR TO HOLD LITTLE INTEREST FOR THEM?
Is it a simple “Just thought I’d add my two cents”? Is it an honest “Look at me,I’m different and DAMN proud of it”?Or is it possible “I’m just looking for some support from members with similar interests”? Really, I want to know.
In the history of this thread I have been labelled a bigot,which by definition,is not accurate.
big·ot (bgt)
n.

One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.


[French from Old French.]


I don’t see sexual preference mentioned in there once.
I have been called a Homophobe,which is closer,but still misses the mark.

1 entry found.


ho·mo·pho·bi·a (hm-fb-)
n.

Aversion to gay or homosexual people or their lifestyle or culture.
Behavior or an act based on this aversion.


[homo(sexual) + -phobia.]

homo·phobe n.

homo·phobic (-fbk) adj.

I never once stated that I had an “aversion” to the Gay community. I don’t KNOW any,how can I?
As far as the other dispersions cast at my character,ok.I’ll give you MOST of them.

Opinionated jerk…Guilty as charged.
Asshole…ok…sure.
Fucknuts? …well…maybe.

Bigot and/or Homophobe no…sorry.I Will not own up to THAT one.

Esprix? Thank you for researching my previous,albeit infrequent,posts.The time spent shows dedication to your cause and is to be commended.I’ll thank you to actually READ my responses before passing judgement.We are trying to avoid that here,remember?

Looking at my previous posts it is obvious that I respond alot to military topics.Well…Guilty.My reason? I was in the military safeguarding YOUR right to freedom of expression.I AM DAMN PROUD OF THAT.

Hope this helps,

Rich

Rich, I’ll try to give you an honest reply.

Do you find anything odd with the following question?:

“Why do the HVAC contractor members of this board continually post to subject matters that really don’t pertain to them? I don’t get it…we KNOW you are HVAC contractors…wear it as a badge of honor if YOU wish.It’s your prerogitive to BE or DO what you wish.Please don’t force it on others.I feel the same way with religious preferences.Worship any Deity you see fit…but personally, I have my own beliefs AND sexual preferences thank you.I really don’t wanna see/hear/read about yours.”

The reason you haven’t received an answer yet (to your satisfaction) is because your post is absolutely absurd to the majority of the posters here (as is the above proposition to you, I would assume). Granted, assumptions only make an ass out of you and umption, but if you have a different reaction, please share.

Ummmm…I hate to point out the obvious here, sweets…but if the thread held little interest to said “GAY MEMBERS”…well, they wouldn’t have posted to it, now would they???

Am I missing something?? :rolleyes:

Well Connor…I WOULD answer your question but It’s my line of WORK,so I’d have to charge you a consulting fee.
Well,I AM proud of my work actually.
Yeah…I realize my question could have been phrased better.

MY POINT EXACTLY!Why would they be interested if they are Gay?

Maybe Rich’s real question is:

“Why are gay people interested in stuff? Me, I’m only interested in boobs, the military, HVAC engineering and monster truck racing. I don’t read about or comment on anything else, and no one else should either.”

whooooooooosh

Monster TRUCK racing? Who said anything about that? Quote me correctly or not at all thank you.

Why WOULD a gay man be interested in womans breasts? Still haven’t figured that one out.

{sigh}

So, monster trucks - am I allowed to post to threads about monster trucks?
