Uncomfortable posting what exactly?

“Hi! I’ve made a new moc! It’s a train car and it’s all rainbow coloured!
It’s somethign I decided to be creative with, and I wanted a symbol of my
homosexuality.”
Tell me how that would be received in .general, or .moc or anything not

Well, are you talking about discomfort for the poster or the group reading the
post? To assume that everyone in .general is a “homophobe” is a bit extreme.
If don’t care for his post, he will never know about it if I post nothing in
reply. Anyone can be encouraging of a gay; what a spurious thing to imply
that only GLBTers would post approvingly! In fact, if someone did post a
negative comment, I’m sure that many would rush to condemn that person and the
original poster might even feel more affirmed as a result than if he had just
posted to “the choir”.
