Today is Bi/Pan Invisibility Day.

El Chup is way too sensitive.

I go the other way...
I just stopped giving a fuck about how other people fuck. Too many other reasons to love or hate them.

Not sure what you mean about "demands that they'll never have to live up to"? Monogamy?

I don’t know what this thread is about but I wish it wasn’t about @El Chup

As for @Ancalagon I think you’re free to be yourself here. We appreciate your contribution in whatever way you want to live your life.

I know we've been saying Cis around here for a while, but when did it enter the lexicon? I don't recall ever hearing it before, what, a year or so ago?

We have too many labels for each other. We spend too much time pigeonholing people.

He's a bit of a drama queen.

I've only met you recently dude but personally I'd say this sounds like the point where you really start posting, not stop...

agree! Nothing in the way my family members live would ever really offend me - except for being a flaming liberal of course!

Does your wife know you "pigeonhole" people? Hey, if she's cool with it who am I to judge?

Well two of my sisters voted for President Obama and that offended me pretty well though we stopped bringing it up at reunions.

I don't think that's in any way specific to America, although there does seem to be a cultural phenomena that @El Chup has hit on where people not only act terribly, but enshrine it as an expression of their almighty "freedom of speech", almost turning being deeply offensive, egotistical and thoughtless into a bizarre and inappropriate "protest" in it's own right.

Just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean you aren't an asswipe for saying it.

I'll be honest I'm getting the impression people here are wary to give much away about themselves because of the attitudes of a small minority of posters who spoil it for the rest and glory in doing so, people who'll misuse it against them. @Ancalagon has been pretty brave in my opinion and the fact that even a thread like this where you would imagine people would be supportive to an old friend has still become the dayton/dinner show. It's as though they post simply for the sake of being vindictive, ignorant and cruel and it's not clear to me why the rest of you tolerate it.

I've no desire to cause inter board shit, far from it, but it does make me question how willing I'd be to share personal info in here to the extent I have done elsewhere, which is a shame given that the bulk of the posters here seem to be a decent bunch all around.

No dude, no one cares.

Just shut the fuck up and let someone else be the focus of attention for once.

It shows you how selfish people like Dayton and Dinner are. They're more interested in shit stirring and petty beefs than stopping to read the opening post and talking about it and/or giving a shit. No coincidence that they are also two of the most malicious (and insecure) people here.

I'm actually genuinely sickened watching the behaviour dayton in particular shows, especially after his display and lack of remorse in the whole "Samuel" thing. I'm concerned though we're derailing this even more by giving him the airtime. All I can say is I hope if someone I'd known for years decided to share like this I'd be much more supportive.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure El Chup was trolling for sympathy. After all when I was in the hospital I wasn't even the one who originally posted about my condition here. Couldn't as I had no computer access.

You sure are butthurt over the fact that over the course of a year you never detected who I was. Of course when I posted as Knight Templar I practically had to draw a picture for the idiots in The Neutral Zone.

Yet another thread selfishly derailed.

You aren't getting this are you?

I don't care.

I gave your alter ego in TBBS every chance, even stuck up for "him" in an effort to play fair and see the best in "him".

Turns out I was wrong, you're just a nasty person who has no place where people actually like or care for him with good reason and the best you can do with your time on the planet is provoke virtual strangers in a bizarre form of attention seeking.

I doubt anyone truly loves you and that's sad, pitiable in fact, but you could so easily change it if you really wanted to.

I didn't even know who "Dayton" was until that incident, nor did I care. "Samuel" was my first dealing with you and I tried to reach out to that persona.

I'd have happily given you the time of day much as I am doing everyone else in here, but you burnt your own bridges there and it's really obvious to me why no one can stand you.

And why exactly would that be? Let me guess the bull about me lacking in empathy?

You completely lack any empathy. You are only interested in yourself and what benefits you.

You've come in here and yet again derailed a thread, your second today, and made it all about you. You haven't even attempted to engage in the thread topic or show any sympathy or understanding for @Ancalagon's concerns. It's all about you yet again. You're flat out evil. It's disgusting you claim to follow the teachings of Jesus. You're a disgrace.

You're an atheist El Chup. You don't believe in "evil".

Demands made on people by those who won't have to worry about it themselves. For example, heterosexuals who demand that homosexuals avoid sex.

What's wrong with that?

Since when do athiests not believe in good and evil?

Since the moron became desperate to start yet another fight. Don't feed the troll.

I'm yet to see you show any.

This whole conversation is you demanding attention in a scenario that should be about someone else's feelings.

You have no sense of right and wrong, no sense of how awful your behaviour is.

Agree to disagree.

This is pretty much exactly my reaction. Honestly I may get some grief for saying this in the current climate where everyone wants to be completely free, but if you have no plans to divorce, it seems like it would be a whole lot easier to just keep it under wraps with certain people. I guess that's easy for me to say since I'm open with everyone, but if I would have just had other side interests and had stayed married, I wouldn't have said anything to my religious family. Not worth the hassle to me, but ymmv.

Edit: is there any way a mod can segregate all the Dayton crap so the people who care about this thread can follow it?
