I don't know. Why don't you post a thread about Hattie McDaniel prefacing with an accusation about "Racist trolls", and telling people they won't like that she won an Academy Award, because she was black. Let's see what kind of reaction you get.

Don't forget your stupid posts were made possible by him more.

Manitou's observation--Some people in forums think they are God's gift to the rest of the posters.

Oh yes... more...

If you didn't come across as a moron, you wouldn't be treated as such.

And if you didn't come across as high and mighty, which you are not, you would have no need for self-criticism.

Could you please do us all a favor and point out just exactly who it is that you're referring to??? I've never read any post here from anyone that claimed that homosexuals don't contribute to society. Granted, I don't read every single post, but I do know the folks here fairly well and I don't know of any that would make that kind of statement. So would you mind backing that accusation up with something factual?

Having read much about WWII I was familiar with Turing's work as a code breaker, remarkable stuff. I wasn't aware that he was gay, didn't care, still don't.

When dealing with vermin such as yourself, it's terribly easy for the most basic of pond scum to be high and mighty.

Thanks FS. I'm going to be a lawyer. I've been called much worse.
