And now I shall remain steadfastly silent about the new man in my life. Thank you, **scott** , for throwing yourself on your sword for the rest of us queers - you taking a lecture for the team teaches us all a valuable lesson. _{sigh}_ (Oh, and if it had been me, I’d have started fellating my partner right then and there - under the covers, while the ex got his stuff. Then again, I have no tact. 😉 ) Esprix ---

Although I won’t link to it, nor even name the thread, I once posted about getting lucky with a guy I met a bar only a few minutes beforehand. It might be the only thread mentioning gay sex that was not hijacked by a safe-sex warning. It may be rare, but it can happen. ---

Oh come on Esprix, spill it! I wanna hear all the juicy details about this new guy!!! Is he as cute as the boy-toy you brought to DTF? No lectures from me, promise! ---

- > [@](#): > > Originally posted by Polycarp\* > \*\* Chris, you may not have participated in the threads, but this is at least the third thread since the beginning of May in which Scott Evil has posted something about his love life and within a few posts someone has decided he needs a lecture about safe sex.\*\* I’m not everywhere and I certainly don’t read every thread around here- quite a few, but not all of them. I never- on my posting honor- saw that this was an issue with this guy. Hell, I didn’t even know who he was prior to this thread (Meaning I didn’t know he was gay). > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Polycarp_ > \*\* If you were not part of the other threads, then there are several people who owe you an apology…\*\* If anyone deserves an apology, I think it’d be **Pundit Lisa**. Especially if she wasn’t apart of the previous threads and didn’t realize this was an issue. Nothing about her post (In my opinion) lead me to believe she meant this anything other than what she said it meant. I certainly didn’t see where she was trying to needle him, or say it to be an ass. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Polycarp_ > **…is it going to be necessary to add to the FAQ for the board that one agrees to be aware that scott evil practices safe sex, for crying out loud?** If this has been such and issue with him in the past, and simply reading a post like that sends him (And others) into a rage, then maybe it should be. It’d probably stop the massive hijack like the one that happened here. Or, better yet, maybe he could add a disclaimer in the OP telling people he’s safe and he doesn’t need to hear the speech, if it bothers him so. Not saying anything, and assuming the others around here will know, simply because they _should_, is awfully presumptuous and naïve. - > [@](#): > > Originally posted by Hastur\* > **Drink the decaf.** How dare you try to dictate what I should or shouldn’t do.

Hey, **Guin** - Don’t despair. I’ll be 33 in two weeks (June 25 - I’m Satan’s child) and I’m still (and ever and always) single. **scott** , honey, you do what’s right for you. And the rest of ya’s - settle down, awready. 😉 ---

Ok, I had a vasectomy, so technically I am not a breeder. Does that make me gay, lesbian, unich, rock, idiot or what? I think the only thing I can breed now is contempt. Where is this thing going?

Eheheh…someone said “buttload”…ehehehe… Yes, being single sucks. But it’s partly my fault-I have really, really REALLY high standards. 😉 (That and I’m shy in real life. No, REALLY!) ---

I agree with this sentiment completely. Personally, I think that **Guin** should be included in that apology as well. Since when is it fucking wrong to show concern for someone, not to mention for someone who you don’t know. I also agree that if you are going to get so damned worked up of over someone expressing concern, put a fucking disclaimer in your post. Saves everyone the trouble of giving a shit about you. I am gay and found absolutely nothing offensive with anyones words of concern. Then again, unlike **gobears** assertion, all gay men don’t pick up tricks and bring them home. Perhaps if I was that way, I could find a way to relate to all of this spewed venom and somehow justify it in my own mind due to my past experiences. Being that I don’t choose to live my life that way though, I’ll continue to appreciate when someone expresses concern for me. ---

Jeez. I was gone for a few days, and missed an entire train wreck. Anyway, I’m kind of disappointed that it didn’t turn out to be an inventory of **scott evil** ’s ex-boyfriends. You know, like this: > [@](#): > > 12 losers > 9 commitment-phobes > 3 random flings > 1 summer affair Only a lot funnier. I also want to hear about **Esprix** ’s new man. ---

**CNote** , perhaps you should check out **gobear** ’s thread [“Gay and AIDS are not synonyms, dammit!”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112950) about all of **scott** ’s threads being hijacked by well-meaning safe-sex admonitions. Anything that needed to be said was, methinks, said there. Just a thought. Esprix ---

It’d probably stop the massive hijack like the one that happened here. I do take your point. If you’ll notice, in general it is not **scott** who’s offended – he’s largely amused by it now, but others in his behalf. And it is presumptuous to assume that others have read such threads in the past – but it’s also presumptuous to assume that people don’t know how to behave safely in situations they regularly find themselves in. I don’t think that the question of being warned about safe sex was (and perhaps is) an issue for **scott** – but if the next five posts you make anywhere on the board are answered by people saying that they think it’s offensive that you criticized **scott** for not practicing safe sex, totally off the point of the thread, would you not be offended by someone carrying things to extremes? Now switch the roles, and you may get an idea of how **scott** and the gay men here must feel about the “You’re gay? Do you practice safe sex?” thing by now.
