Welcome to Gaia! ::

As I said in the post in question, no one called you uneducated. TuffGhost was calling himself uneducated, and you made yourself the victim.

No compassion for you.

That might be somewhat of an exaggeration. Angel pretty much admitted that the problem was his. In fact, at no time has Angel been purposedly obtuse about anything. I only held issue with his jumping on Jack for no good reason. Otherwise, he's been straightforward and openminded. No less than you have been, since you declared your own problems with furries and the intersexed.

You cannot rightfully defend your bisexuality from those who hold emotionally personal issues against it if you hold your own emotionally personal issues against others. To do so would be akin to saying some one thing and acting out in a way contrary to that. I forget what we call such behavior, and I abhor to use the word by which we might identify it, but that's what you'd be doing if you undertook such a course.

Refrain, my friend. Refrain. wink

The problem is if it wasn't hard to say, was it worth saying? My Gaia life before the Guild was mainly stuck in the ED, and more than once I was point-blank told I knew nothing about sexuality or any other number of topics I tried to get involved in.

First, to build on what Nios said, write carefully and make a point to learn a few things about what you're discussing. Second, don't take it as a personal attack, but an attack on your position on the topic. Try to cover everything you can think of, and answer the challenges or questions as thoroughly as you can. And if you do feel threatened or it is simply a personal attack on you, simply leave. The things you do in a rage are usually things that you'll regret, and the internet makes your mistakes quotable.

And if Jo is on the other side of the debate, tread carefully. Or run.

Jo: He still has my compassion, and it isn't because I have compassion for everyone. Everyone is bound to go on the defensive, and he probably feels horrible for ever saying anything. Remember, "a safe place for discussion"?

Soy tan feliz!

TIEMPO DEL FIESTA!

WOO!

So... you're drunk?

I'm having a party on Monday.

No, I was more asking then saying. Just trying to clarify my confusion ~_~

My middle name is actually Heather. I don't know what to do about my middle name when I do change my name. I'd like to change my name to Calynd McAtamney, but that would involve throwing away my middle name. I'm considering letting my mum choose one. Or I could just not have one.
