Much like the Seven Dwarves… I think there are the Seven Faggots of the SDMB:
The Seven Faggots of the SDMB: Horny(matt_mcl), Party(scottevil), Jumpy(gobear), Cranky(kirkland), Herby(Homebrew), Overly Friendly(Esprix), and Trampy(yours truly).
Well… I know you mean well Hastur but whenever you starting making lists like this, horseplay often turns to tears and other less prolific, but equally fabulous faggot posters will feel a bit left out of this “in with the in crowd” list kicking their shoes at the pavement while the “popular” fags cavort on the playground.
I think a better approach, instead of forming a club of sorts, would be to offer Wizard of Oz style giftsto gay posters whom you admire.
The only flaw with this scheme is, if they’re that fabulous what can they possibly lack for? What could any of them possibly want?
Not to sound catty or throw cold water on what is a light-hearted thread, but is it safe to assume that since this thread was started by an acknowledged homosexual it’s okay?
Because, to carry it further, had it been started by a heterosexual, it could have been taken to the Pit, everyone would flame the OP for being intolerant and mean (“How dare you say such things about Matt, Scott, etc. you’re dealing with stereotypes…”), the OP would be chastised by a mod, there would be demands for his banning, and the thread would be summarily closed.
To be honest, I was startled by the thread title. I thought it was being mean, although when I read the OP, I thought it was clever. But I couldn’t help but think what I posted above.
If it’s acceptable for the gay members to talk about themselves this way, I guess that’s okay.
Any African-American members want to start a “Seven Niggers of the SDMB” thread?
