Anonymous Right Wing Nuts BANNED Until August

ENOUGH!!

"Anonymous" right wing jerks are banned from posting for the rest of the month. They have abused my free speech zone by rudely over-posting. The party has ended. Start your own damn blog, instead of stalking mine like parasites. If a right wing creep wants to leave a message from now until August, he or she must no longer be anonymous. No more hiding. Period.

17 Comments:

Good for you. All the anonymous' get on my nerves anyway. Especially when it's so easy to open a blogger account.

I'm glad you put your foot down.

Now that these so-called "ex-gay" can't hang around a gay website all day - what will they do?

With all the time they spend here, they certainly don't seem to have time for their wives. They seem to want to obsess about being "ex-gay" rather than live as heterosexuals. One must feel bad for their lonely spouses.

Good for you Wayne. These cowards have to learn. They are like the bullies in the playgrownd, always tryig to impose their Stupidity. Wherever you go, Wayne, rest asure that you will have supporters.

May I ask you why don't you ban then for good? I understand thatsome gay guys are intimidated by this barbaric right wingers, and rather don't post, but What use do people have for "dialog" with right wingers?

Is like the Minutemen, or the KKK, or the Nazi party... thay don't see beyond their own little world!

I won't ban them for good (yet) because I think it is fair to keep this a free speech zone - even inane and insane speech. I want real people to express real thoughts and spark debate.

The problem is, the right has likely hired people to monitor this site full time. I say this because these freaks are the first to respond - as if they are assigned this site. They respond the moment I post, which is creepy. Since this is no organic free speech - but propaganda - such dishonest nonsense will be deleted.

But, as long as it is a real opinion and not a talking point from a right wing group, it can stay.

However, this does not mean lunatics can repeatedly post and dominate the site. Such folks will end up banned for good.

My rules are simple.

1) This is a free speech zone open to honest differences.

2) This means no professional site monitors will be allowed to spew hate

3) Those who have a differing viewpoint can post once. However, this does not give them the right to stalk the site. Such weirdos will be banned.

4) I expect those with differing views to show dignity, class and respect. Abusing this site will get you banned.

5) Finally, I am working full-time with my group, Truth Wins Out. I'll do my best to monitor, but some freaks will escape through the cracks.

You rule, man. I have the utmost respect for you and your work.

I am a hetero guy, but I am concerned about the crazies that want to impose a State of fear trough religion, that is why I am a supporter of fair causes, like immigration, Gay and Lesbian human rights and the right of women to choose.

I gave your book for Christmas to a couple of people around me... so far only one came back with a note, saying that homosexuality waas a sin or something... I don't believe in that.

I actually don't believe in any kind of sin, that is why I am worried about what is happening in the world

Keep the good work

It's interesting, and a strong endorsement of everything in "Anything But Straight" and of my own impressions from other sources, that when I've repeatedly and very politely and open-mindedly asked "anonymouses" (what IS the plural of 'anonymous' used as a noun? One anonymous, two anonymi?)on here who claim to be or to know ex-gays, to engage in a dialogue either on the blog or privately by email, in which they describe the process of change of desire, not one has ever been willing to do so.

This is entirely consistent with the view that their desire has not in fact changed.

They come on here and say that they've changed, and make abusive comments. But they won't ever describe the change of desire.

I have just bookmarked your site for viewing on a more regular basis. I mean, the crazies were just taking over and a little of that horseshit goes a long way. I mean, if I want to be depressed, I can always skim through Pam's Freeper quotes.

I've found it interesting that many of the "Ex-gays" take on a victim stance. As in, "Why can't you just let us be ex-gay?" or "Ive been so harrassed because I am ex-gay." It smacks of the propaganda that PFOX and similar organizations spout; an attempt to make gays the intolerant ones.

They have learned well from their teachers, the old timer right wingers... "the best deffense is to attack" seems to be their moto.

At the end, if they want to be "ex-gays" or "ex-lexbians" or "ex-meat eaters" that is their problem, not mine (they leave more cute guys for us), but the problem start when:

1) They start invoking the name of God to justify their behavior.

2) Try to change people that DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE.

3) They call homosexuality a sin... is so wrong!

Jeckelhyde, I always enjoy your comments. I think you might find www.pfoxs.org considerably more enlightening and useful than PFOX

Thanks, Phil. I dig that website. I intend to spread the news to all my family and friends.
