> [@John\_Mace](#): > > I’ve been posting here since 2002, and there have been openly gay posters here all that time. None have been treated badly just because they are gay. One of the mods here is openly gay, and he’s been a mod for years. I guess what i was trying to get at is that in living memory people thought gays were icky and didnt want to here from or about them. Now we feel the same way about FJ. I freely admit you all might be right and me wrong. I just dislike driving people away because we are made unconfirtable about them. ---

There is a quantitative difference between a thread saying ‘I’m gay and I’m feeling persecuted at work’ and the series of threads asking ‘Have you ever thought about being in a Turkish prison? How do you feel abut gladiator movies?’ ---

> [@madsircool](#): > > We do allow endless repeat threads…how many dozen Trump threads are there? Again, he isnt hurting anyone and no one is forced to open them. This board needs more posters not fewer. Do we need more posters who talk about eating shit? I don’t think so. I fail to see how that makes a contribution to the board. I’d sooner read about what **jtur88** likes to eat. I think he should be directed to the egress as quickly as possible. Read a few of his fucking threads before you jump to his defense. ---

You see the irony here, right? 😉 We all have the freedom not to open his work. I seem to remember another shit eater from the early 70s 😃 :eek: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aQ8pfjJru60/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEmCOADEOgC8quKqQMa8AEB-AH-BIAC4AOKAgwIABABGHIgUChEMA8=&rs=AOn4CLBZJWC-MvT_Q9e1MVSyOjuJY-U1pA "Divine eats DOG SHIT - Pink Flamingos at Plano B - Rio de Janeiro") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ8pfjJru60) ---

How do you feel abut gladiator movies?’ People are just a lot more comfortable about who they are today. But perhaps these type of threads…not just his but some of the others who like to post about explicit sexuality…could be confined to The Pit. ---

Read his fucking threads. If they don’t disgust you, fine. I’d be cool with a topic ban, at least. No more scatological threads. No more “if someone tried to rape you, how would you react?” threads. But again, read a few of his fucking threads first, then jump to his defense all you want. Do anything else, and you’re a fucking hypocrite. ---

Im not jumping to his defense. Im just saying that he shouldnt be labelled a troll and banned just because he is different. Why do you think I dont ooen his threads? Or the one about why women squirt. Now if he were abusive I would feel differently. My god…he is positively mild compared to what the Marquis de Sade was writing 300 years ago. ---

Its not like he is on a public street with a bullhorn forcing us to hear what he has to say. He is easily ignored. Maybe, but the First Amendment doesn’t apply here.

> [@Helena330](#): > > You might be ok with him publicly fantasizing rape. I’m not. Helena330, I understand your concerns about my posts and I apologize if it came off as ‘fantasizing’ about rape but you clearly misunderstood the post. It was a hypothetical scenario, which I’m interested in. Not as a troll and neither as an attention seeker. You’re too obsessed with attaching sexual connotations to that. Perhaps if you want to complain to me, you shouldn’t overreact as you did in the thread.
