[QUOTE=El\_Kabong] Well, without the ability to identify you as male or female, the choices are limited. I’m a jerk for explaining to someone else that even though you call yourself Carol, you may not be female, and that for some reason you don’t want your gender known here (which seems to be confirmed by your responses)? Many, I think, would say you are a bit overly quick to take offense. [/QUOTE] Look, my gender indentification is none of your business. To continue to make insinuations about it, e.g. “you may not be female” is downright mean. Please stop it. ---

[/QUOTE] Why is that mean? If we don’t know what you are, and you refuse, for some bizarre reason, to TELL us, then we have no choice but to conclude that you may or may not be a woman. How is that malicious? I’ve always sort of assumed you’re a woman, but for all I know you could have a ten inch cock. Hell, that could be true for _any_ presumed “woman” on the internet. Don’t take it personally. ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] Imagine youi can broadcast the words Proud American Republican Christian, like psychic spam, and everybody who identified with it suddenly jumped up and started walking to your house, fill up your basement, spill out into the yard…Can you see them, can you visualize? Now, how many of those faces are anything but white? Breathe deep, relax and visualize. Two? Three, counting the caterers? Now, breathe deeper and relax more, deeper and deeper asleep…Obama is your Stallion of Love…you got your bridle, your chaps. Your spurs… [/QUOTE] To be fair, a lot of Mexican Americans would identify with that. Edit: Whoops, didn’t realize the thread was 4 pages until I posted. Sorry if this has already been addressed. ---

[QUOTE=Carol Stream] Look, my gender indentification is none of your business. To continue to make insinuations about it, e.g. “you may not be female” is downright mean. Please stop it. [/QUOTE] There have been several posters on this board whose names indicate they are one gender when they are actually another; I wasn’t ‘insinuating’ anything in particular, just genuinely confused. Anyway, no meanness intended, whether you happen to think so or not, and I sincerely apologize for speculating on something that, if we happened to run into each other on the street, wouldn’t even come up as a question. In any event, as I said previously, I honestly don’t care whether you’re male, female, plaid, a dog, forumbot or whatever, and I doubt whether anyone else here really does either. And here endeth the hijack, as far as I’m concerned. ---

[QUOTE=Don’t fight the hypothetical] Ugh. [This kind of shit sickens me](http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/06/stick-a-pin-in-it.html). Fuck you, Republican state convention for allowing these cretins to participate. “_At the Republican state convention, a booth hosted by Republicanmarket was selling a pin Saturday that says: If Obama is President will we still call it the White House._” [Proud. Republican. American. Christian.](http://www.republicanmarket.com/store/item/21650.Proud.Republican.American.Christian) Fuck you, crank smokers. [/QUOTE] Thanks for very ignorantly painting all Republicans with a very wide brush. Just how do you propose to stop them? Ever heard of something called the 1st Amendment, by any chance? It gives people the right to free speech, including the right to make a total blithering ass of themselves by buying or selling buttons with offensive messages. ---

[QUOTE=DianaG] Why are you so invested in being offended by the OP that you had to twist it all up like that?
