It starts to become a little bit too rich.

That is no excuse for showing no manners. The world does not revolve around what you understand and what not.

I do not have problems with people disagreeing with me. But I am passionate about putting people in their place if their goal is to infringe on others rights. Nothing upsets me more than this, and as I indicated with my first post on this thread, I was seriously offended.

It escapes my understanding why someone who is not gay and must not be affected by gay's relations nevertheless makes it his personal mission to tell people about what gays do need in order to live happily. It also escapes my understanding how a remark by me that I had loose friendships with gays myself and that we dealt normally, without the big tamtam some are making of it, could be offensive to anyone. You simply feel offended becasue my opnion violates your imagination of what people have to think on this - sharing your opinion, that is. It is not about gays. It is about you.

My use of the word bigot on this thread was never intended as in insult or to be hurtful.

Sure. Not at all, we believe it blindly.

As silly as it may sound, I do hold out hope that the people who've argued against gay marriage on this thread will see themselves in a different manner after discusssing the matter with me.

My God, how fantastic you are. The board bows and apologizes that we did not realize your greatness earlier.

I am quite aware that bigots never think of themselves as bigots, and it was my intention to inform them that they, in fact, are.

Start with yourself. you are definetly in serious need of it.

Not simply because they disagree with me. But because they couldn't come up with a reason to support their ideas. At first, it was about children somehow. When I gave them a simple yes or no question to dismiss their logic, they ALL ignored that question.

Impossible to imagine that people may had come to the conclusion that your broken chain of loose and contradictory thoughts was missing that logic that you claim for yourself. Also, generalizing hairsplitting exceptions from the rule and replace the rule by the exception that wayand think of that as being a valid argument does not do a convincing job.

You are not around for too long, but already managed to bring up several of the regular board members against you. Not so much by your opinion, but by your arrogant manners. Like some others already have indicated more or less directly, I would prefer you to change that, or to leave.

I don't know, it frightens me that people feel so free to express their bigotries with no fear of any consequences. It's a scary time we live in. - Remember your own words, eventually?
