Noooo... That was chiboy :beer:

I think he does deliver pizza. It's not like you can't be gay and deliver pizza at the same time.

Unless your delivering italian sausage to someone's back door. Saw that in a movie once.

:p

Sorry - couldn't resist.

Funny... there were no threads trashing geekbabe and Red Dawn's relationship when they allegedly got together. ... and nothing is grosser than old folks bonin'. ;)

Why then are rbloedow and geekdrew treated differently?
Why was this thread created?

It is simply because they are gay. They are different from the majority of you undersexed losers, and you bigots just can't take it.

Grow a thicker skin, folks. Seek to be offended, and you shall find offense. :roll:

It is not like rbloedow posted a thread that said "OMG 9 days until I get to glaze geekdrew like a Krispy Kreme donut"

That would be offensive. ;)

So... are ya? ;) j/k Sorta.

Actually it was totally difference as it could be.
RD and GB kept it secret the whole time.
Infact they were already seeing each other for over a year before someone else let out the secret. Only after the secret was out, GB made a post that they were engaged.

So no, neither RD or GB made a thread of how many days until they got to see each other.

What I believe Xio's point to be is, while no one gives a sh!t that you're gay, we don't really want to hear about it in every single post. You only need to mention it once, no one will forget it.

SO he mentions it once, and then he should never talk about his boyfriend? never talk about who he thinks is hot? etc. Why? TO make you feel more comfortable? Lol. The problem here lies with you.

He made a valid point.

Let me put this perspective.
GeekDrew and Rb are gay.
I have never ever notice Geekdrew make any kind of comments that led me to believe hes gay. In fact, I didn't really know he was gay until that stupid ____days thread.

In the other spectrum, I've notice RB makes gay innuendos all the time.
Despite of that, I didn't have a problem with it.
It started to get irritating was when he made a couple of threads about GeekDrew coming to visit. Its attention whoring is what is was.

You can be gay but why do you need to keep hinting to everyone that you're gay.
Its really borderline attention whoring.

To me, Rb has 2 different personality on ATOT.
Before, I know him as an easy going pizza delivering guy who owns a Scion xB.
After he came out, he whole personality changed and alot of his posts reflect that.
Its like he makes sure everyone know that hes gay.

If you're a long time member on ATOT and you haven't notice the difference in his posting pettern, you're not being honest.


This is the backbone to the point i've been trying to make.

Are you telling me that gays shouldn't be treated like everyone else? That being gay inherently means they should get special consideration? I thought the idea was we're all supposed to be equal...

The Crusades are over, jackass. Calm down and read before you post. Not everyone's the bigot you wish they were.

No, very few people are truly bigots, and I don't wish any of them were.

Before you call me jackass (oops, too late) why don't you go look at what YOU wrote: I didn't write it!

A comment that reads "I have better things to do than make a Gay's life any more miserable than it already is." really only has one interpretation, but to give it the benefit of the doubt, it could have been poorly worded. It's you I have a problem with, not the original poster.

When you stepped in to 'defend it' you intentionally recast teh statement as "f he said "make your life more miserable than it is" to another poster in any other context, no one would have a problem with it. " And I stated clearly that such a statement would not be offensive.

But the statement that WAS made, and which you tried to defend while obfuscating the obvious implications, is more akin to calling blacks stupid, farmers inbred, or natives 'savages'.

Now that I've thought long and hard about this:

*clicks post*

Wait...I "obfuscated" something? Wow. I need a cigarette.

If all of the above is true, why didn't you just say that the first time instead of claiming that I "certain"ly called RB "pathetic, stupid...(and) use(d) his sexuality as some sort of launching point for an attack...(and am therefore) an idiot." Since I obviously did none of that, wouldn't it have been easier to just tell me what I meant?

Had I known that my little one sentence = blacks are stupid, farmers are inbred, all gays should die, etc., I would've voluntarily deleted it instead of calling you a jackass for calling me an idiot for something I didn't even say. Has it ever occured to you that by just assuming people are bigots, you become the bigot?

Yes... it is attention whoring... but other AT members do that *all the time*... why should it matter that it happens to be about a gay topic?

I don't believe that rbloedow wants everyone to know that he is gay... I think that he probably now feels more free to speak his mind, and to truly act as he wants... he shouldn't have to censor his own sense of humor if he doesn't want to do so - and nearly all of his posts are either humor or just attention whoring. So what?

Oh, and FWIW... I'M NOT GOING TO VISIT RBLOEDOW. AT members are just inferring that.

IMO marriage has ONE basic fundamental reason. To legitimize offspring. Off spring can not be created during gay sex period, hence there is no need for a marriage!

Then why is the divorce rate 50%+? Hell, why is divorce allowed at all then? Wouldn't that be "bad for the children"?

/pours gasoline on the flames

Divorced down the road or not, the children are still not "bastards".

(unlike some of us "straight" folks on here. ;) )

Hey, I never said I wasn't straight myself. :p

In any case, this is really a totally separate argument (flamewar) from the main one here, no need to continue it, lol :p

Ahh... well I guess if you didn't actually read the original comment, then you can be half-excused for making such a lame defence of it.

I'll agree with one thing though: *lights cigarette*.

Ok... You admitted to creating threads based on attention whoring, yet, you aren't coming here for attention. GOSH ALMIGHTY it is just getting worse.

Edit: I misread you saying what RB was doing, as what you were doing... I am tired, I am going to bed.

I think a lot of gay people don't realize that homosexuality makes people uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't want to see two dudes kissing, yet I don't care if a guy and a girl are kissing. So what. To me, its natural. Just like to gay people, being gay is natural. But since the majority of people are straight, you can either be flamboyant and make everyone feel uncomfortable (and in turn be somewhat of an outcast) or try to keep it to yourself and close friends. It's a fact of life, no matter how unfair.

Take that one guy on Last Comic Standing, for example. All of his material was about being gay, and for some reason people thought it was funny. I seriously wish I could punch that dude in the face. He annoys the hell out of me. I never heard one joke that entire show that didn't have to do with him being gay.

This is not directed at anyone in these forums but just something I wanted to point out since we're on the subject.

Of course I can't speak for all gays, but I *KNOW* that homosexuality makes an insanely large number of heterosexual people extremely uncomfortable.

I am not flambouyant in real life, nor has *any at all* ever asked me if I am gay IRL, without having prior knowledge - my actions and lifestyle do not give it away. However, this is an online forum - here's where I can relax, without fear of repercussion (for the most part). I don't want to be banned for anything, so I don't go too over the top... but if I were to be banned... oh well, I guess I'll spend more time elsewhere, or create a new account. Here is where I'm able to throw crap in people's faces, to get their reactions, without the risk of being physically assaulted for it (at least in the short term)... so why should I care if I make people on ATOT uncomfortable with my sexuality? I really don't intend to do that - and honestly, I hadn't talked about homosexuality a huge amount until the last couple of weeks. The difference? I realized that it's just an online community... I do value my reputation around here and on other forums, but why not act however I feel?

IRL, I do keep to myself and my friends. It would be stupid to do otherwise - there are too many insane people out there that would go apeshit if I were to be flambouyant in the wrong situation... not that I'd ever want to anyway, for that matter.

I know that this thread is about rbloedow, not myself, but your post was about gay people as a generalization - and that's what I'm responding to.

If you don't care if you make people uncomfortable, who are you to tell me what I can say about things that make me uncomfortable?

you're such a hypocritical (and fascist) little creep. you're doing the exact same thing, demanding that rbloedow shut up about anything that even remotely relates to his sexual preferences.
