Especially in conjunction with a phrase like “disease-ridden homos”, which lets everyone know perfectly clearly that the post was a perfectly serious expression of heterophobia and not bitter sarcasm. (Much like this one.)
Look, what you do in your own bedroom is none of my business, but going onto a public message board to prosyletize your immoral Canadian lifestyle is something else entirely.
Like I stated above, I, as well as other Dopers, have received the same lecture. Where you around for the KayKay Pit threads? (lost in the server crash) She talked about having casual heterosexual sex and got the same lecture.
Generalize much?
Huh?
Where have I written, here or otherwise, that I give a flying fuck about your sexual preference?
HIV/AIDS warnings and scoldings? I didn’t see any.
What I saw was a poster saying, ‘Geez, if you’re going to be boffing people you just meet out and about, I hope you’re carefull.’. Same damn thing friends and aquaintances have told me time and time again. The only difference is that I didn’t jump all over their shit for saying so.
Again, did I, or the other poster, ever say we gave a shit about your preference?
For all I know you’re the most carefull person that ever lived. Good for you. Doesn’t give you the right to jump all over someone’s shit for saying, or stating, the obvious.
Like I said, you need to relax and stop reading into things. What you’re saying we, or I, said, simply wasn’t said.

Matt - because generalised insults are okay within the context of bitter sarcasm? Or just because someone else started it?
Ok, Cnote, I am nmot singling you out, but as many others have made the same comment, I thought I would use your remarks as the example.
clears throat
It seems, and obviously not just to me, that when a gay poster says ANYTHING about his sex life, SOMEONE just HAS TO warn them about safe sex/AIDS.
Y’know what? YOU DON’T.
It is insulting and demeaning, not to mention COMPLETELY presumptuous.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for any sexually active gay man in North America to be clueless about the existence of AIDS or any other STD. What straight people may not understand is that gay people are BARRAGED with information not only about HIV and AIDS, but what strain of the week might be going around of syphilis, gonnoreah, or anything else.
In this case, I think that when it comes to people who are gay and posting a thread they should post a disclaimer saying how damn safe they are to ward off the doofi(plural of doofus).
Why’ve you turned this into an us-against-them thing? Gay or straight, if you mention that you go home wasted with someone that you’ve just meet at a bar and get naked with him or her, people are going to give the obligatory safe-sex speech. No one’s accusing you of anything or being stupid.
And for the record, the first poster to say anything about it did not say “Hope you practice your gay sex safely.” No-- you’re the one who made this an issue of your sexual orientation.
Yeah, cuz we str8s really can’t get HIV. It’s only a “gay thing.” :rolleyes:
But for what it’s worth, the locks most definitely should be changed post-breakup. Not doing so is absolutely fucking stupid.
At least nothing got interrupted.

No; because contrasting “fucking breeders” and “disease-ridden homos” is just good parallel structure.

I can do one better. My relatives were telling me all the virtues of seduction and of practising safe sex, while my girriend and I never had any sex in the first place!
As a practicing (practising?) heterosexual, should I be offended if some cocksucker calls me a “fucking breeder”?
Oh, yeah…what’s a “chyck”? 
Are we to assume, then, that your “Weird Sexual Experience[s]” don’t typically involve sex?
Here’s the part that pisses me off
In a word, horseshit.
First off, define “people like you”. I watched one of my best friends die of AIDS in 1994. By your inclusive comment, I don’t know how AIDS affected the gay community?:rolleyes:
Another Doper watched his uncle die of AIDS. (If he wants to name himself here, he can. I will respect his privacy.) By your logic, since I am heterosexual, and so is the other Doper, we have no ability to understand how this plague works.
It has been repeatedly stated that any Doper who mentions having casual sex, gay or straight, gets the same safe sex warnings.
Hardygrrl: It’s been stated. Has it been shown? Furthermore, is it as immediate a reaction? And are the warnings of the same variety (I’ve gotten “you’re fucking stupid - must you perpetuate the stereotype?”, and from someone who was trying to be supportive.)
See? Parallel structure!
Actually, if you read the OP, he specifically says he didn’t have sex with him that night.
Wow. I was so busy responding to the other comments that I completely missed this little nugget.
In a nutshell, fuck off.
Where, exactly? Quote it to me, Cause I sure can’t find it. Or was it in one of his later posts?
With pleasure.
