Wouldn’t we be flaunting our sexuality if we did that? Wouldn’t that start yet another pit thread where someone would either be having a hissy for the fact that the pictures were posted, or because they aren’t in them? ---

Hey, hey, hey! Step off! Back away from the Quebecois! He’s _mine!_ (Or does “flirting with **matt** ” make me into a _two_-trick pony?) Anyway, **neutronstar** , I appreciate your post. (Still would love to get more of an explanation out of **Needs2know** , though.) Esprix ---

Non illegitmus carborundum Esprix. Anything beyond tokenism is too much for the mainstream. ---

I realize I’m coming into this rather late, but: Esprix, stay loud and proud. The only way the world will become a safe and comfortable place for gay men and women is if we straights are constantly exposed to gayness, in all its aspects, from the utterly mundane to the earth-shattering. Your activism and willingness to share are helping to hasten the arrival of such a world (one hopes). That’s all. Just wanted to add a voice of support. ---

About my posting style, now as it was a while ago I remember it being something about 1 word responses that nobody could understand. It wasen’t paticurally flame filled but you can’t call him out on making a pit thread about your posting style and not be hypocritical. I couldn’t understand you, hence the thread asking what the fuck you were talking about. There’s no question about what I’m talking about, so that’s why I couldn’t understand the reason for this thread from the start. > [@](#): > > Even when im partisanly ranting and raving I still feel more objective than you(and a few other democrats:)) Is it a requirement on the SDMB that every poster be objective? 😕 Everybody’s got their biases, including you - that’s why we’re able to debate. > [@](#): > > Also people support you because your a “intelligent…etc” poster most of the time even when your wrong.

I’d like to second **andros** ’ post. What the hell is this, anyway? I mean how freaking banal does your life have to be before you start analyzing and taking exception to others posting preferences. Jimny-crickers!! Turn on the tv or something, read a book. Surely there are more exciting things one can do with ones time than run a statistical analysis of someones posts. (No offense, **esprix** ) ---

Esprix, I’ve gotta say (perhaps belatedly) that I always like to hear your comments, and you’re one of the most interesting posters here. You’re waiting for the “but”. But there is no “but”. That’s it. Please, post however you like, on whatever topics you like. After all, no one can stop me from posting about extinct south american mammals. \…If only someone wanted to talk about south american mammals…\…I TRY and I TRY to drag every thread on convergent evolution into a discussion of south american mammals, but it never works…and there’s only so many convergent evolution threads to BEGIN WITH…\… ---

I’m thinking that the Boy Scout thread is heading into GD territory. Or at least was, until I killed it, and left it to wallow on the second page of MPSIMS. It wasn’t on purpose, I swear. ---

Sorry I came into this so late, but I have chime in on the “go fuck yourself” chorus. Most of what I’d want to say has been said here (and elsewhere) but I’ll damn redundancy for the sake of adding to the collective voice. Your prissy, pissy denials notwithstanding, neutron star, your OP reeks of clear–if subtle–homophobia. If it’s as important to you to be free of it as it seems to be (I don’t doubt the sincerity of your wishful thinking, _in re_ your denial), I suggest you ponder it a bit. [Feel free to ask questions.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=39308) To the rest of you (N2K, et al) who simply don’t get it, I’ve learned not to waste my breath, and I envy and appreciate Esprix’s continued refusal to learn the same lesson. You can, once again, all go fuck yourselves. ---

I guess some jokes just don’t go well over the internet. The thing I was getting at was, not everyone who flames you is a homophobe, its just that they will mention the fact that your gay because you mention it so often. His flame was about being a one trick pony, not homosexual. Just because someone is being negative about something and it has something to do with homosexuality it does not make them a homophobe. ---

Asmodean, who are you responding to? No one has said that the mere mention of homosexuality makes one a homophobe. ---

He also reminds me of a guy that used to work in my office who would introduce himself to new people by saying, “I’m here. I’m queer. Get over it.” Ain’t nothing demure 'bout Esprix, neither. He’s out there, and he’s honest. I appreciate that. ---
