If you are gay. And plan on being more then a silent voice,or just a commentator?
POST ON ANOTHER SITE!!!!
Oh dear. You puzzle me, really you do. I would send this via the private message facility, but you seem to have disabled that. I would prefer not to say this to you publicly, but I do need to say it, and this seems to be the only available means.
And for the record, I'm still grateful for the kind words you sent me privately a while back. They make me want to take your side as much as possible. But...
A month or so ago, you contacted me privately to let me know that you were the reincarnation, as it were, of a previous user who'd left this site in a huff. You asked me to keep this information to myself. Since when, you've seemingly gone out of your way to make it obvious to all but the most unobservant. Why?
Look; you're gay. Fine, whatever makes you happy. Some people have a problem with gays. I have no patience with them - such prejudice really ought to have been consigned to history by now. But that doesn't mean that you should jump up and down, waving a pink flag, daring people to take offence - and then launching into full outrage (no pun intended) mode when they do.
Let me say again - I have no problem with people who are gay. I DO, however, have a problem with boorish behaviour and rank stupidity. And you have exhibited both. I want to be on your side, but you make it damn hard. For example; it may surprise you to know that I have a sex life myself. I don't feel the need to let everyone on here have a detailed and salacious account of what I get up to.
You wrote a few QS stories with gay characters in them. Fine. As you know, I've done so myself, without causing any major earth-tremors. But I try to let my stories speak for themselves. You - well, I think you honestly (subconsciously?) WANT to provoke unpleasantness. Honestly, I think you have issues. And I speak as a veteran of a psychiatric ward.
Please put your stories back up. You're not a bad writer, and they were quite promising. Please write more, and post them here.
But please think before you flame in future.
