Well, Coito, we often find just what it is we're looking for. You'll just have to keep at it awhile longer.
It's o.k. if you're gay. Don't fight it. :cheers:

It looked like you were calling a heterosexual man gay in a roundabout way, which pisses off some hetero men. Surendra is cool about it, tho. I don't see a problem, actually, but it's nerve-racking on staff when people start making potentially personally offensive comments about other members. I think that's about the extent of it. No biggie, as far as I can see. Just a gentle reminder to not juggle grenades. :biggrin:

Of course. For some reason, I am more offended by computational incompetence than by mistakes about my sexual preferences. Sue me. I'm understandably spooked when my predilection for vaginatarianism gets picked up spuriously, like that, when they didn't even ask me about it explicitly.

He said he took a test that designated him gay or for some reason, lesbian. My comment followed that.

It happens all the time. Personally offensive is common. For some reason any reference, humorous or otherwise, to gayness immediately results in moderators swooping in like hawks. People must be on a hair-trigger to complain about gay references.

Did the test. Waste of time.

Not really surprising. Totally ignoring the ethics implied by Marxism is bound to result in a failure of a survey.

It was, too.

But be careful about engaging in vigourous self-congratulation. That can just set some people's teeth on edge.

Oh, fuck it. Who cares what other people think? Especially if one is brilliant.
