(5,621 posts)14. To tell you the truth, I don't know who any one is.
I don't know if they are male or female, black, white, Asian or any mixture. I take what they say at face value. There have been many times that I have been surprised when someone comes out and says they are whatever. There are too many combinations to keep everything straight and who I'm supposed to hate, especially on the Internet. So, I said fuck it, let them be known by their words and deeds.
This is how I chose my politicians too. I could give a damn about a label. Prove to me who you are by what you say and what you do, and only then will I know who you are.
Hell, on the Internet will all the 'handles', any 'name' could be a true label or an ironic one. You never know.
