Grab some cigars while you're out. And some tissues in case it gets boring and we revert to looking at pr0n.

*goes to the liquor store and picks up April's Playboy* ;)

*turns on laptop with wifi FiOS and gets the last 30 years of Playboy in 2 seconds* :p

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.

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.

Even you admit its attention whoring.
Well, its one reason why Rb is getting so much flack.

You know HK, Dezign, Tomato.....She get flamed all the time for being an attention whore and she's not gay so attention whorers get flamed no matter what..even if they're not gay

We are all equal opportunity attention whorer basher :)

I don't think you are being honest here. you're not attacking the attention whoring, you're attacking the gay content (of the posts). this makes you look like a bigot (as opposed to someone merely sick of the attention whoring).

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.


Thanks for those kind comments, wise one. And yes, if we aren't allowed to challenge his beliefs, he's not allowed to talk about them.

how are you challenging his beliefs? This entire thread is in essence nothing more than you (and others) saying "shut up" to gay posters.

fortunately you're not in a position to establish what is and isn't allowed on ATOT

Okay, you're just absolutely fvcking killing the BBQ's vibe. This thread isn't telling them to shutup, it's telling them to post about it in moderation, but I'm not getting involved.

Beer should be back soon as well as this month's Playboy.

Have you never seen Dezign's posts (and associated responses to them)? lol

Edit: *continues swinging*

Ok - I don't see how anything rbloedow or geekdrew said was offensive. At the most, they are excited that they found each other (maybe even love) on a geek forum.

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.

But Geekbabe and Red Dawn are not gay. They are heterosexual. A normal, natural, acceptable, relationship. Of course, "normal, natural and acceptable" only pertains to 99% of the population that ARE actually "normal, natural and acceptable." I.E. not gay.

His point exactly.

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.

It has absolutely nothing to do with being gay. Ok, anywhere that Rbloedow has mentioned gay, let's replace it with horny. Again, no one cares keep it to yourself.

No, I will not keep it to myself. Who gave you the right to dictate content of posts on ATOT you fascist creep.


Apparently a fascist creep of some sort played with your jollies. No one dictates any information, therefore I should be able to post about how I disagree with what one does. Oh wait, not according to you. It's one sided with you.

I am disagreeing with your pig-headed stupidity expressed in this thread, however I haven't told you to "keep it to yourself". I'm not the one telling people to shut up or "keep it to yourself". That would be you.
