1. Well said!

[BainsBane]

2. You're back!

How was your trip?

[hrmjustin]

3. It was ok but I am glad to be home.

Looks like I missed this drama http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=293729&sub=trans
It is a shame because we got along.

[BainsBane]

4. Oh, yes

It seemed to me he want on a bender. It's too bad he wouldn't settle down. I was a juror on one of his hides and a target of another insult. Though I imagine everyone online that night was a juror at some point since he had so many hides. Some of the atheists seem to think he wasn't really one of them. Who knows.

5. Yes he was one of them and they are foolish to say otherwise.

I got along with him even though we disagreed and I wished he did not do that. He will be back but if he can't behave they will get rid of him right away.

6. Well, I think you saw the thread

Were they raised their suspicions. I have no knowledge of any of it, save two encounters with that poster.

7. kick

8. Some of us are equally comfortable with both.

(But I take your point.)

[BainsBane]

9. Yet one right you fight for diligently

the other not so much.

10. Ever seen the movie "Milk"? If so, do you remember the scene at the end of the film ...

which incorporated newsreel footage of the candle light vigil for Harvey and George Moscone? Well, one of those candles was me, jackass. My younger brother and his partner lived in the Castro in '78, and since I was in LA at the time, I flew into SFO to be with them. (Both of them had volunteered for the Milk campaign, and they were devastated.) You don't know a fucking thing about me, but you appear to be more than willing to toss out a load of ill-informed horseshit.
I do my best to avoid making slapdash assumptions or accusations toward people with whom I may disagree on a particular issue. Might I suggest that you give it a try?

[BainsBane]

11. Hmm

That must be why I see you post on gay rights all the time? Oh, wait. That's guns.
I can only judge what people care about by what the post on this board. That reflects what most concerns us.

[Bonobo]

12. Credit where credit is due.

Most people would be ashamed -or at least justifiably contrite- after being shown to have made such a mistaken and insulting assumption about a person... in fact, let's be honest - you all but suggested the person was a homophobe.

But you deserve a lot of credit for doubling down!

[BainsBane]

13. I most certainly did not suggest that

Nor did I even think it. I just observed that he appears more interested in guns than gay rights, as by the way am I.
