Keven :
Sorry, but your disingenuousness won't wash. On the "What Creeps You Out?" thread, someone posted something that pushed your buttons, and you started in with your patented "Keven the Militant" stuff, in spite of knowing full well that:
A) It was going to disrupt the board.
B) It wasn't going to change anything.
c) It was going make others unhappy.
Knowing all that, you still chose to do what you did. All that supremewhirlpol said was that the sight of same-sex kissing creeped him out. He did not say you should not have your rights. He did not say you should be harmed. He did not call anyone any derogatory names. All he did was say something caused him some personal discomfort.
Well, that was all you needed - you went straight to the word "homophobic," which is a very heavy word, Keven. When called on it, you kept refusing to back down or apologise. Then you said you thought you should take a break from the group, which actually might have done some good - but then you did not take it.
I'm sorry, Keven, but your style of interacting with others here is a serious problem for some of us here in this group. You seem to have needs for drama surrounding gay rights and other political issues, which some of us find very wearying. You have been asked - very repeatedly - to stop it, and you forever insist upon your "right" to continue doing it. Even if you have such a right, have you never heard of having the courtesy, the gentility (vornehme Herkunft is the German, I believe), to refrain from upsetting others at a social gathering?
There are hundred of political sites where your militant leanings to the left would be welcome, the Drudge Retort and Daily Kos among them. I really wish you would take all that passion and all that militancy to a site where it is appreciated.
