Well, not entirely, it seems. The latest thread was locked even as I was trying to type out a reply.

buffettgirl · 03-20-2011, 01:55 PM

yeah, that last one went down hill. I can't imagine anyone deciding that protecting someone right to hate speech is more important than than saying that speech is wrong. I don't get that at all. And someone saying that it wasn't worth arguing over. ?? But they'll fight to the death their decision to not let anyone cut them in line, oh yeah, don't you DARE cut in line...but speaking up against hateful speech, no no, we must not argue about that. rolleyes.

What the hell is wrong with people?

Yes, I guess I was overly optimistic. The thread I was referring to when I started this one was much more positive.

I know. That first one was very calm. This last one. Nuts.

Thanks buffettgirl for your comments on that thread. Sometimes I get so angry and frustrated by idiots I just have to walk away for a little bit. Its nice to know someone else was there to pick up the slack.

Since I was given permission to post this, I will. Since I am now on his ignore list, he won't ever know I did so, right? Here is the PM I just got from said idiot. If I am being ignored, I'm not sure how he found my post here, on a completely different forum.

There is no reasoning with ideas as frightening as yours--thought-control and group-think. We are extremely fortunate to live in such an enlightened time, which people like buffettgirl's husband have risked their lives for. How sad.

You and buffettgirl are the newest members of my ignore list. Go ahead and add me to yours.

And dont forget to publicly post that you just heard from one of those idiots in a PM and how radical his thoughts are.

Good day.

Are you talking about yourself or the topic?

I believe in freedom of speech...until it becomes harmful to others.

I just feel sad that I didn't get a personal message from him too.

I don't like mulberry bushes. I don't like going round them. But people like mesa who think they're defending the constitution really do a disservice to all of us. They would rather defend an ideal vs a person(s). Something is wrong there. It makes me want to vomit all over his shoes to think that we do have soliders who are risking their lives to protect people like him. People like him truly believe that opinions don't turn into actions. That's just crazy sad.

DOPEYLUVER · 03-20-2011, 06:30 PM

One thing I read on that particular thread was that many of the people attending specifically for gay days leave in the earlier evening/night to participate in off site activities. Is that true?

We'll be staying for the Electric Parade and fireworks and after last week's spring break crowd I would love to hear that many don't stay late.

Schotz · 03-20-2011, 08:16 PM

It is true that many leave the parks early, for the evening dance parties. The gay days host hotel offers free admission to the live dj pool party to all hotel guests that book a room on gaydays.com. As a music lover, I can't get enough live dj entertainment. The World's best DJ's are playing this year during gay days. Plus standing in line all day makes me tired real fast.
