no. You weren’t getting my point. Anyway, I started a whole thread apologizing for some stupid remarks I made in this thread and some of the same calling. ---

[**kputt** apologizes](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=201435), for those who might be interested. (Please note it’s in IMHO, not the Pit.) Esprix ---

**Moderator’s note:** **Kalhoun, kputt** , _both_ of you are out of line for flaming in **IMHO**. (I noticed you already apologized, **kputt** , so this isn’t intended to heap coals of fire on your head. Just have to be even-handed in responding, y’understand?) It is to stop, immediately, and not be repeated. As a reminder to you two, and everbody, keep discussions in **IMHO** focused on ideas, not posters or personalities. If you get really upset, chill for a minute and if you’re still torqued off then take it to the **Pit**. TVeblen, IMHO mod ---

And the radical right remains [true to form](http://www.365gay.com/NewsContent/073103schoolSuit.htm). > [@](#): > > Creating a separate school for gays “will only create more animosity for them” by singling them out Because there’s no animosity toward them now that’s say, driving them out of their schools in the first place. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by kputt \* > \*\* > As I said before, why do they get this stupid “National Coming Out Day”. If they get that, then I want a “National ADHD Day”. \*\* Why should there be a National ADHD Day if there’s nothing you can do about being ADHD? 😉 Besides, you a_can_ have a national ADHD day. Just get people to do it with you, like those folks who organized the NCOD. The government doesn’t have to sponsor every Day out there, you know. On another dealy: For the most part, I thought Radon’s post (“football team… prom…” etc) didn’t seem homophobic; I thought it was worth a chuckle. As I type this, I’m 3/4 of the way down the first page, I guess I’ll find out if he was being a jerk or not. ---
