re: #786 gadlaw

Thanks kindly for the proper slang blog term for flounce. I have never seen it used as anything other than a term used against gay people or people you want to accuse of being gay and as a way to belittle and minimize someone. It doesn’t have anything to do with you being gay, congratulations on being comfortable with yourself and best of luck. I don’t spend a lot of time reading when insults are traded back and forth so perhaps you are right as to the ‘special’ meaning of that term on blogs. As for whining, you know, when you provide a answer to someone’s rhetorical question and you don’t like the answer I guess ‘whining’ is a good enough term to use also when you have nothing to say to the point. Another way to dismiss the point being made. Why would I whine and why would I care? I express my point of view, rather than argue the point your basic form of discussion is to slander or otherwise attempt to belittle someone. When they point that out, call them whiners. But you saying so doesn’t make it so. And now, again rather than discuss the points, you diagnose me a mental illness. Very entertaining and more reflective of you than me. I give my point of view, give my reasons for having my point of view. The thoughtful response is that I’m a gay bigot racist - I’m paraphrasing and shortening to the salient points here. I’m not saying please feel sorry for me or woe is me, I’m saying that’s the level of discussion here. That’s my opinion. Not trolling, just not letting the slanders just sit there unanswered.

If the level of discussion sucks on this thread its because it’s been going on for so long that people are just f***ing sick of it.

You should try other threads people tend to be much nicer when you jump in near the start of an argument!
