Something wrong with the forum rules...

Not a typo, but...



Do not post racist or 'hateful' material.

This means no racist/homophobic comments, period. Discussions of racism itself in the proper forum are OK. Making hateful comments, directed at a person or group, may get your account immediately suspended. We are extremely serious about this. prince.org is not a place for racial bigotry or hateful speech.


...what about those vulgar, heterophobic comments made by pro-gay members?

You can also feel free to take shots at white people and Christians in the P and R forum paticularly when bashing Republicans.

I've seen plenty of vulgarity here, but that seems to come from all "types". Not sure I've ever seen a "heterophobic" comment. Can you explain?

I made just one lil harmless opininonated remark in my first post and all the prince.org-chapter of GLAAD took it out context and jumped on me.

Just because Im a heterosexual who perfers not to listen to man singing about getting intimate with another man or watch it and just cause I rather watch to chicks go it occassionally, I have seen accussed of being a unfair homophobe who is scared of gay people and does not think they should have the same rights like as str8 people, and who doesnt not respect women and thinks that they were put on Earth to entertain men. And so on, and so on, and so on....

I tried to explain myself and clear up the misconception, but they just flipped everything I said around into want they wanted it to mean. They just jumped to conclusions and painted a false picture of me. And I dont appericated that shit at all. They dont respect my preference like I respect their's.

How so? I aint my fault that THEY took something I said outta context. No, they need to learn to read and respect my perferences. I didnt say what I thought shouldnt be happening with gay people, I just spoke on what I didnt wanna see or hear with my eyes and ears. But I find it offensive that they'd accuse me of being something that I aint.

BUT however, now that I look over the forum rules again, I dont any rule at all about respecting other opinions or perferences...so yeah, maybe it is out of the MODs hands, but you know, most other forums do have a rule like that, but not this board though. So that means if you dont like something I dont like, then not only can I strongly criticize and oppose your views, but also subliminally insult your taste and intelligence just as long as I dont do it blatantly and looks "civilized". Now it all finally makes sense to me.

I'm just sayin that, unfortunately, the Internet is full of people who aren't going to agree or be polite or sensitive to us. The Org used to be a much more hostile, unmoderated place, believe it or not. If I'd received money for every time someone disagreed with, or was disrespectful of, my views or "twisted" my words around on this site, I'd be a rich girl!

I think the best way to debate here is to #1) know your topic well and reiterate/clarify when necessary and #2) keep your sense of humor on board as much as possible. But, #3) if someone is namecalling/flaming or truly out of line, hit the "report to moderator" button and call them out that way.

Best to ya!

Theres so need to thank him, Stymie. What he's sayin doesnt hold any factual weight.

VoicesCarry, I didnt insult anybody on that thread. You're just mad cause you thought I insulted you, but I didn't. When I said you sounded ignorant to me, I wasnt talkin about you as a person, I was talkin about about that dumbass comment you made. Go back to that thread, responded to you.

But see what I mean now? They take shit out of context.

They who?

anywho, I am bi and you did insult me. By saying you find two men toether disgusting is an insult. You may not be homophobic but your post somes off that way. But, ya know what? It's all good, I'm not trying to stifle or censor anyone on the Org anymore. I found BK's Nazi reference a little disturbing, but if that's how he feels, fuck it. Some straight people and some LBGT people ain't ready to have a real convo yet.

"They" being another on that other thread who misunderstood any I said on that other thread. But dont worry, I aint singling out all gay people if thats what you're getting at...and Im sure it was.

But OMG! Here you go, sayin I insulted you cause I said I thought two guys gettin intimate was disgusting. Let I said earlier, its called sensitivity and its not my fault. Cry me a damn river. LOL! lol But if anybody on that was thread insulted, it was me. They accused me of being something wasnt. I wasnt tryna insult anybody, I just a fighting off the accusations of being homophobic and maybe I did go a lil too far into depth with it, but I was tryna explain myself the best way I knew how. But BlaqueKnight made a great point though. And you seem to respect the way BK feels, but you should also respect the way I feel instead of feeling insulted.

Happens to me all the time. Been called idiot and worse for lack of a constructive rebuttle from them, is my guess.

But folks do extremely take things out of context, or maybe purposefully do it to spur an argument so they can vent their hate?

This place is kinda warped at times. You can't do much about it.
