No. But the difference is I'm a specific person and not a group.

However if you said "Board 8 posters like ___" (let's say I don't know, Phoenix Wright) I wouldn't automatically assume you were saying with 100% certainty that I like Phoenix Wright despite being a Board 8 poster. I would assume you were saying it was more likely than not I like Phoenix Wright however.

...but biscuit WAS talking about a specific person? he was talking about the cop in the heard incident. he wasn't commenting on cops or gay people in general.

a better analogy (in that it's much closer to what biscuit was actually sainyg) would be if i said "remember when john said lopen hates phoenix wright? well, turns out lopen is... a board 8 poster. so, turns out john was lying. lopen likes phoenix wright." sure, it's likely that i'm right and that john is lying, but i was still using faulty logic to come to this conclusion.
