   Oh really, Mister Tolerant? So I suppose you have no problem with people copulating in public, and in the view of your children.

I have NO problem with that. It should be the norm.

Clarity, Chris. That’s all I want. I think you will find that your views are in the vast minority.

  
  
   I think to dislike that is to admit that you’re repressed.

What is wrong with repressing private things? Why does EVERYTHING have to be public?

Because to lock it in taboo damages people. I know you get off on people being harmed in various ways, but most of us do not.

Excuse me??? What exactly do you mean by “get off”? Why don’t you just shut your ignorant piehole, Chris. And who is this “most of us” you speak about? I don’t know anyone who holds the inane ideas you do. You probably don’t think that young children being exposed to explicit sexually images/behavior/language is harmful. Clarity.

  
   Preferential treatment.

??? What a crock.

Really? What are the chances of a .het getting formed? None.
  
Your rampant intolerance of people who are not. At least that’s what triggers it for most people.

   Why? What is wrong with .people? The only reason why we have become compartmentalized dorks in the first place is because the traffic volume became too great. Is .people so busy that subgroups have become necessary?

Isn’t the fact that multiple people want this group good enough?

Frankly no. And the proof will be in the pudding when the NG goes largely unused.

  
  
  
   It is too much of an afront to their sexuality. Wouldn’t the world be a more tolerant place if we were all bisexual-- well it ain’t gonna happen.

Maybe, maybe not.

Again, more disingenuousness.

What??? He answered fairly.

So you actually believe that, one day, the entire world will be bisexual. Cuckoo.

   I happen to think the world would be a better place if we were all bi.

Clarity.


   But we might just select other things to be intolerant of...so “maybe, maybe not” seems like a perfectly valid answer.

Whatever.

JOHN

(...) Okay, so put your money where your mouth is and give the pudding a chance to prove itself. If it goes unused, you're right, and no harm done, except the loss of Todd's time in setting up the newsgroup. If it sees use, you're wrong, and there's (...)

(...) John, I think you're starting to cross the line here, even for off-topic.debate... take a stress tab and think about the success of the mission. (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

John, I know my views are in the minority. I'm not sure what made you think that I didn't know that. (How could I not?) That doesn't make them wrong. There have been a great many people through history who had unpopular ideas that are now widely (...) (20 years ago, 20-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
