Dude, you're talking about the English language. If you were to take out all of the needlessly complicated inefficiencies, you wouldn't have enough of a language left to be usable. Getting uppity over one or two more is just silly. minervo posted... What do you mean? If they kept it to themselves it wouldn't be a problem but when you shout from the rooftops all day about your sexuality, it starts to get annoying. So ignore it. The only reason anyone feels the need to proclaim a specific sexual identity is because defining it make it easier to defend against people who try to reject it as being somehow invalid. If the response is instead "okay," then there's no need to defend it anymore and people will no longer feel the need to make a big deal out of it. The only way to make it go away is with ambivalence, not opposition. So the ignore it and move on approach. Makes sense, if people acted more like they do in real life on the internet, it'd be better but some of these oddities are actually terrible human beings. If someone on the street acted like some of these people do on the internet, your options would be to fight of flight or call the cops. If you have no self-control and a temper, sometimes you deserve a good slap. --- "how hard is it for people to understand that not everything you read will be something you agree with?" - Awesome <cite>minervo posted [p:923483290] in Saw a pers...
