Jerboy is regularly bashed here. People seem to presume it's because he's bisexual, but the real reason is that he's a rather whiny teenage yuppie who complains about a lot of things, appearing to think himself better than people because he has (or more accurately, his parents have) more money. I'm sure someone will pop along with The Scroll here any minute, a list of things Jerboy has complained about, from the kids who get free lunches being served ahead of himself in the lunch line at school to his parents not buying him a new car. Whatever he complains about, I think the wholesale picking on him is unjustified.

Ah okay, I recall something he said about meeting a guy online. I get the picture.
Still, nothing wrong with being gay, immature and rude. A lot of people are immature and rude and they're not being made fun of
everyday. So that leads me to believe/assume that people here bash him because he's gay.
that's not nice.

but when you are immature and rude, and present it EVERY time you post, it makes it easy to find a scapegoat. ask jerboy...for the most part he likes the attention.

oh? so someone with alotta teen angst who was straight would have a thread about being a queen put up about them?

being bisexual/gay esp. for a boy isnt accepted on these forums everyones got attitudes like "keep it away from me, i dont wanna hear about it" and some members flat out say that its wrong so when a member opens up and talks about this openly they do get bashed and i see it with jerboy a lot.

im not saying this because i like him or whatever cuz his conservative upper middle class views piss my bleeding liberal heart off more than alotta you realise, a couple of times ive yelled at him in pm.

im just saying this because i am offended when i see bisexuals bashed or made fun of.

Well if the dipsh!t would take a hint and stop whining or better yet, just find an AOL Chatroom to infest, then maybe he wouldn't get ragged on.

Eakers, obviously it's because he's bisexual that he made it into the poll here, but by and large, the reason he's picked on is because of his holier-than-thou attitude. There are a few other gay people on the boards who have mentioned it in times past but never made a big deal of it, and they aren't picked on. In fact, because they simply take it for granted and only mention it when applicable, most people probably don't know who they are, including me; though I've seen posts by them, I can't recall any names because there was no reason their posts stood out.

Note that no matter what, I don't think letting Jerboy get dragged through the dirt all the time is right and I will not make jokes about him.

gosh, did I open a can of worms or something?

someone just told me about the 'advance search' function. I guess I'll read thru some of the older stuff and see for myself.

This is probably the most accurate statement so far, and I agree 100%. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't personally have a problem with him being gay, its just that the whiny b1tch thing annoys me sometimes. Then I realized he was doing it just for the attention, and now it doesn't really bother me at all and I find it amusing more than anything.

His sexuality had nothing to do with him getting into this poll. I simply added him in becuase he likes to bitch a lot and I am a jackass.

Of course I would have never started a poll or thread about either of you as I really don't want to give in and give you the attention that you guys so desperately seek.

Well we are offended when you go out of your way to get attention.IMHO, both you and Jekboy are annoying attention seekers and you reap what you sow. Trust me, nobody really cares if you are a Fish Monger or if Jerboys a bonesmoker

Exactly.

I actually prefer eaker's way of getting attention and at least she admits it. There are dozens of people here who use other's sympathy in order to get the attention and I think it's rather pathetic.

Notice I did not call you an attention whore rather I said the consequences of attention whoring. Almost everyone gets sh!t from Red Dawn and they just pass it off..

you might want to point out who you are talking to. cause i never 'bombarded' her or call her an 'attention whore'. i just ignore her.

I've been called an attention whore several times, too.
I wouldn't mind so much, except that the cheapskate bastards left my thread without even paying. :p

Aww I never got to vote. :( Anyways, I would pick baffled, or HotChic. baffleds always around threatening violence on her peons, such as any good Queen should. But HotChic has a more quiet tone to her no nonsense attitude that I think could keep her peasants in line just fine. ;)

But Adul would look the best in the long robe and crown, sorry girls. :p

<edit> LOL WW! :D I have never been called an attention whore, at least that I know of. But I have been told that I am fat, old and wrinkly looking, so I guess I have been initiated too.
