Oh, Sweetness, there's no shame in backing off for a while. The amount of discouraging hate on here can get rather ponderous but if you look around there's human decency here. There's a lot of people trying to uphold the dignity of Humanity. They're just battling up the stream of Ignorance. It's okay if you leave. Come back though. Keep fighting with us. We'll still be here when you do.

There will always be haters , lovers , players , etc. This place is the easiest place to deal with society. I personally think being gay is wrong , but I can respect an educated opinion , disregard the stupidity , and laugh at the humor , whether it for or against my cause. My opinion has changed on some issues ( no I have not switched sides ) but it has changed some stereo types in my mind for members on both sides of the issue. So this forum can be healthy or an instigating tool depending on the user.

Sure, there are people here who enjoy hurting others. They thrive on discord. These people should be pitied. If all they can do is to cause ill will then they need help not hate.
Remember though that there are also many people here who really want to help others with their answers. I may not agree with them all but to each his/her own.
All you can do is to try to answer questions in a way that might help someone. I must admit that I've become very angry over some of the questions I've seen and maybe not answered in as polite a manner as I should have. I think it happens to most of us from time to time. Someone hits a sore point and we take off on a tirade.
Try not to let the nasty people here keep you from helping someone. You just might be the one who gives them the answer they need.

Follow your instincts! If you feel like taking a time out it only means that you've had it. Enjoy that time and come back fresh. Maybe you need to consider why you visit this site. If you are going to be fighting with all the idiots who hate gay people, you are going to be tired and exhausted. Perhaps, you believe that you are going to make other people change their points of view. But that is very unlikely. Maybe selecting only positive messages from LGBT people only is a good idea.

Im very disapointed to here this. Giving in to stupid biggots is no way to win. This is what they want is us to give up and they can feel like they won. They are like a virus that if you treat it long enough with the proper medication it will go away. Or better yet showing them that we are stronger then them and stupid comments and biggot remarks will not the good hearts we have as humans. You must stay strong and show them that we will not go away.
Dont take their dumbness to heart for they know nothing of what they speak.

I will miss you Randy, you were always kind and well spoken. I don't blame you for wanting to back off for a while. I do hope you come back to us though! Keep good care of yourself in the meantime and know that I will think of you :(

Its ok Randy. You'd be amazed at how many become changed through this type of thing, I've been doing this since the net began in various forms and various forums.
Be well.

Dignity, decency, dodos... they all went the same way. It's simply cool these days to be the most offensive jackass conceivable, but take heart: it used to be cool to be a Viking, but eventually they laid down their battleaxes and started building Volvos. Maybe Western culture will start favoring the decent again someday. Hope to see you there.

First of all, the lack of human decency on this site is a direct results of the lack of morals in the world. That is why there are erectile enhancer commercials on cartoon network DURING THE DAY! Sex on network shows, killing, cussing, total lack of morals----> carries on in the real world. Sucks, huh?

I agree totally. I just reprimanded someone for being very nasty in answering a question. I'm coming to realize some people are just mean. Maybe genetic.
