It’s like “contextualist.” But is means you look for “homosexual meaning” in everything somebody says or does. Usually because you are scared of your own sexual feelings, like **celtic cross**. He obviously loves the dick. ---

So… when Bible-thumpers found “666” in the rock hand/moloch/devil horn symbol, did that mean they loved Satan? Because that would be awesome. ---

{This not being a response to Celtic Cross it doesn’t give lie to my Do-Not-Engage promise} Vanity compels me to point out that the dumbass term _homosexualist_ is CC’s term, not mine. Though in fairness, Gore Vidal used it in some writings. > [@Mr.Miskatonic](#): > > Justify it all you want, I’m still gunning down Confederate zombies. ## Shit, boy, if we’d had zombies instead of those worthless vampires we’d have won the war. They weren’t good soldiers, they weren’t good vampires, Hell, they wadn’t even old timey. And half of 'em couldn’t even make a halfway decent sucking noise til Patrick Cleburne and Custis “Bunny” Lee taught 'em how, but that’s another story. This officially concludes any participation in this thread. ---

Set against the backdrop of the 1864 Civil War, Casualties tells the brief story of how the Confederate General turned the tides of the war: zombie soldiers, created by the “dark arts forbidden by things Christian” of a Haitian slave woman named Nali. An interesting idea, this tale leaves me wanting to know more about what happens once zombies are recruited to the Confederacy. Perhaps we will find out in the next issue. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > I have no homosexualist agenda beyond the wild notion that there were homosexuals in history, even that not being exactly an obsession to me. In some of my bloviating I’ve actually defended Forrest’s legacy many times, and I don’t consider Cleburne or any other Confederate general “heroic” any more than I consider Nazi generals heroic (some were brave, brilliant, had personal honor or valor, etc., but the cause they served barred them from the Magnolia Groves of Val Halla). It looks like I did make an error on Ashby’s wife’s age, no idea where that came from or how it made it through the message board’s normally notoriously reliable peer review process, so I revoke with apologies to Mrs. Buck, and her age of course changes everything- no homosexual could possibly marry a woman 10 years his junior as it would cause the rains to stop forever and cast the world into darkness. > As for your ad homs I’ll only say that I am not and have never claimed to be a historian. I will say that somebody who uses his first ever post to open a 2 year old thread that is rife with highly charged irrational notions on both sides solely to take issue only with the fact century+ old rumors were mentioned is somebody who must want to suck a pot liquor soaked cock so bad his innards are a tinglin’ like he et tabasca on his mushed up cornbread. > But I suspect you’re somebody I already know from another board, aren’t you? > Whatever the case, ciao and bon appetit. Any further responses on your part will can wait at least a couple of years and probably won’t be answered even then, so now’s the chance to get your ‘ad homos’ out without fear of retaliation . Honoring the “Do Not Engage” policy I’ve adapted for trolls (not saying you are a troll, just that the policy I use for trolls is applicable to you) I won’t respond. I don’t care if you do, however, you are very profane and…angry. Where, I wonder, does all that anger originate? Anyway, you’re the one who set the marriage parameters by which you judged Captain Buck. Now you’ve changed the parameters. Are all of your statements on such shifting ground? Sounds like an agenda to me. Troll, huh? Again with the fantasies. I’ve been called worse. Here’s some food for thought But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he’s most assur’d, His glassy essence like an angry ape Plays such fantastic tricks before high heavens As make the angels weep.
