So now a 'troll' is anyone who picks holes in your shallow assertions. And who the fuck thought up 'LGBT'? The clumsiest and most unmemorable and confusing acronym in the history of acronyms. And the icing? 'LBTGB (isn't there a 'Q' in there somewhere?) 'phobic', a brilliant new much-needed word for those who live in fear of women who fancy women, women who fancy men (and women), men who want to be women, women who want to be men, men who fancy men, men who fancy men and women, men who want to be women who fancy women, men who want to be women who fancy men, men who want to be women who fancy men and women.....xman wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:17 pm "Could you post a link to this 'homophobic hate-speech' on here that you are referring to?"
No. To do so would just invite more trollery, a skill at which you seem unusually adept. If you don't see it for yourself, I must conclude that you are incapable of recognising it when you see it, so why bother? Also, to do so would promote debate here on whether or not this or that phraseology is LGBT-phobic. The trolls would have a wonderful time, but it would be rather tedious for the rest of us. Perhaps the trolls here--look closely in the mirror, now--are the bears that Frederick the Great was alluding to. I don't poke bears with sharp sticks. It doesn't really work, and it would be cruel to dumb animals. This is the last and only time I will wallow with you in the mire of your discontent. I urge you to abandon it too.

Intelligent people do post on here, you just aren't one of them.

You can block those you think are crazy by using the foe or ignore function.

Not sure how it was over there but "coloureds" was the PC word of the time over here once.
Are you not being a bigot yourself, as you wish to shut-up people whose opinion differs from yours?
Did you read the mods post?Now obviously the people who run this place don't see it that way, and that's fine -- except, very mysteriously, threads disappear without explanation, and the evolution thread was locked without explanation. So let's not let the people who run this site pretend they are devoted to unfettered free speech.

God, that hurt! Canadians are NOT Americans! We hate being taken for them. We look south with dismay. Tell me to shove my " PC 'sensitivity' and elephantine hypocrisy," all you want--it just reminds me of our old saying: "Shoving chicken feathers up your ass does not make you a chicken."

Yes. And?Did you read the mods post?
Re: Homosexuality.
Just register at the Galilean Library and make an introductory post of some kind and I'll respond and try to rally former posters to get involved again.

Re: Homosexuality is a pejorative
DavivM, I have somewhat anticipated you; I have signed on at the Galilean. Then I began awaiting their "evaluation." and the wait continues. Am I being paranoid? Do I radiate absolute evil? I hope not. I have twice sent them messages wondering about the delay--all is silent in the Galilean Library, for me at last.

So why do you think you should shut people up in a public forum?davidm wrote:Um ... no.
But that's exactly what you wish to do?No.
Then you got an answer to your question about why a thread was shut?Yes. And?
