		<description>&quot;I&#039;m a friend of RobN&#039;s. How many friends do you have on this thread?&quot;

What are you, 5 years old? Grow up.

An old Chinese Proverb: &quot;A man should choose a friend who is better than himself.&quot;

And RobN is a prize arsehole, a racist, and basically a gay homophobe (for what of a better term).... where does that pout you in your choice of &quot;friends&quot;, eh?</description>

In fact, isn&#039;t your real name  Tiglathpileser? You know, the guy who likes to stab other gays instead of supporting them like friends do.</description>

		<description>&quot;I suppose &quot;misanthrope&quot; is a bit stuffy sounding, isn&#039;t it?&quot;

Quite. When it comes to RobN and his attitude, I prefer the term &quot;complete and utter arsehole with no friends&quot;. 

More contemporary, don&#039;t you think?</description>

		<description>Pumpkin Pie:

Thank for re-thinking your opinion on Monkeychops. 

As For RobN, he is definetely not homophobic; he is his own man; I often wished I had had the guts to stand up to a bunch of guys as fearlessly as he does when I was growing up. 

I know he can be be annoying; he knows it too. Who cares. I like him as much as I like you. In fact, here&#039;s another one just for you, buddy:

How many fundamentalists does it take to change a light bulb?

Who cares? They&#039;re in the dark if they change the bulb or not.

Yuk yuk.</description>

		<description>&quot;people you are talking about are afraid of homosexuals which is what homophbia [sic] means.&quot;

Again, we see another stunning rendition of the appalling level of education of this Tiglathpileser. Maybe swap one of those bibles for a dictionary, hmmm?

Lets educate him, shall we? (Not for the first, or last time either)

ho·mo·pho·bia
Pronunciation: \ˌhō-mə-ˈfō-bē-ə\ 
Function: noun 
Irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals 

Notice the words &quot;irrational&quot; and &quot;discrimination&quot; here in this dictionary definition of the word you clearly don&#039;t understand? As you have shown more than once, and quite splendidly, you are &quot;irrational&quot; in your thoughts, your beliefs, and your attitude to gay people. Hence leading to &quot;discriminatory&quot; behaviour. 

Real world example for you, you thick fuck:- Like it is &quot;irrational&quot; to be on a gay site protesting about what you neither understand or should care to understand, by using &quot;discriminatory&quot; and &quot;irrational&quot; lies in lieu of proof.

I suppose this is what you get when you buy your third rate &quot;degrees&quot; from NARTH.... bumbling stupidity in a public forum to astound us all. Well done, well done indeed!</description>

		<description>Andie, nice to hear from you here.  Keep calling in.

Jean-Paul, thanks for the message!  Be aware that Pink News DOES occasionally censor this pages.  Unbelieveable, yes, but true, I am afraid.  Last week I got censored.  My ID and email address was blacklisted so I couldn&#039;t post, and two of my messages were deleted.  However, a person at PinkNews emailed me to tell me why she felt reason for taking this action.  After a week I discovered my ID and email address had been removed from the blacklist.  (The reason for my removal was my bringing attention to the fact that a quote given by PinkNews was actually not a quote of what a person had said.)  Anyway, the incident revealed that there is &quot;moderation&quot; going on.  I think it probably explains why certain trolls have to keep changing their names: it&#039;s because PinkNews blacklists them and their only option is to take a new identity.

Love,
Eddy.</description>

		<description>Hey there everyone,
Thanks for your support on this issue it was great to hear your suggestions (I am shopping in Waitrose and you are right they are far more Gay Friendly!). It also helped to hear I am not the only one to have experienced this kind of in your face homophobia from a supposed &#039;Service Provider&#039; as big as Tesco.

Just to clarify..the young Gay guy was most likely not Gay unless My Trusty Gaydar has packed up completely ..I think the operator was just being obnoxious! And the first Guy I mentioned in the article, I told him at the time that he was offensive  and upset my wife and that he shouldnt make assumptions, he just smiled sarcastically and didnt even offer an apology when I told him I was offended.
To be honest I really felt like punching him for upsetting my wife, but I am a bigger person that that and decided to give them the opportunity to sort it out. They didnt really though did they...a £20 gift voucher..hey! 
Whatever they did , certainly did not stop it happening again! To add insult to injury every time they said they would call they didnt and when I told the General Manager.. he said He understood if I never wantd to shop in his store again! Great news!

Anyway just wanted to say thanks again for the support.

		<description>Eddy:

As a Frenchman who would climb Kilimanjoro naked and on his knees to hear the word &#039;love&#039;, I am always vulnerable even though my personal 19-year same-sex relationship has never been as satifying and fulfilling as it is now. 

I have loved you, from the very first, even through bits of stormy weather. Also, I know that you yourself are happily entwined with a partner who appears to be both exotic and gentle by the way you have share brief insights into your personal life. 

It was not as an attempt to deceive anyone that I began to use the pseudonym of Bentham. Briefly, my comments began to be rejected every time I was using &#039;Jean-Paul&#039;. I did not understand why. I tried entering &#039;Bentham&#039; with an alternate e-mail address and presto, problem solved. It never occured to me that anybody would care one way or another.

However, I did notice that the guys and gals were a tad more at ease with&#039;Bentham&#039; than with &#039;Jean-Paul&#039;. I&#039;ve grown up here in Canada in a completely bilingual and bi-cultural environment, but it&#039;s plain to me, and I do not mean to pass judgement on anyone, that native Englishmen can be uncomfortable with someone of French origin.

Just the other day, annoyed with having to post under a false name very much as Sugar Plum does intentionally to deceive, I attempted to post using my own name, and I am delighted to see that my comments are now being accepted and posted.

It is my understanding that computer programs experience unexpected glitches for the simplest of reasons beginning with a sudden change in atmospheric pressure to dust in the keyboards. Whether this is true or not is beside the point; I refuse to beleive that a site as enriching as PinkNews could have intentionally censored me or anyone else for that matter while at the same time allowing homophobes the right of free speech on its threads.

Incidently, Jeremy Bentham is an old hero of mine from the time I was studying the history of the devolopment of human thought in wWestern Civilisation (philosophy). It was Bentham who explained homophobia as similar to an irrational fear of spiders, a rather simplistic theory by today&#039;s standards. 

At the time I thought that was an honest and rational effort to advance the classical notion of the beneficial effects of same-sex attachments, e.g Plato&#039;s Symposium. 

Also, did you know that it was Bentham who designed the architecture of modern maximun security prisons? He also had himself stuffed and mounted in aglass cage...a wierd bird, if you like, but I have always found eccentricies interesting, and usually harmless.

Enfin, I don&#039;t know how to insert a smiling face into my comments, but you can take it for granted that a smile is more constantly on my face than a frown. Ha ha.</description>

<p>At the time I thought that was an honest and rational effort to advance the classical notion of the beneficial effects of same-sex attachments, e.g Plato's Symposium. </p>
<p>Also, did you know that it was Bentham who designed the architecture of modern maximun security prisons? He also had himself stuffed and mounted in aglass cage&#8230;a wierd bird, if you like, but I have always found eccentricies interesting, and usually harmless.</p>
<p>Enfin, I don't know how to insert a smiling face into my comments, but you can take it for granted that a smile is more constantly on my face than a frown. Ha ha.

		<description>Pumpkin Pie, your subtle and perspicacious categorization &quot;He&#039;s just a misanthropic tame queer. Pretty much like RobN. In fact, a little nicer than RobN. If you&#039;re gonna put Monkeychops on that list, Rob should go on, too. It&#039;s only fair&quot; is very impressive!

Jean-Paul, re. #26, bravo for keeping tabs, keeping notes, so as to keep the shape-shifters on the radar!   And, JP, you shape-shifted yourself a little for a while under the name of Bentham - during which time I almost told you I loved you!  :-)</description>

		<description>Careful, Tiggy will believe anything he reads.

A police dog responds to an ad for work with the FBI. 

&quot;Well,&quot; says the personnel director, &quot;You&#039;ll have to meet some strict requirements. First, you must type at least 60 words per minute.&quot; 

Sitting down at the typewriter, the dog types out 80 words per minute. 

&quot;Also,&quot; says the director, &quot;You must pass a physical and complete the obstacle course.&quot; 

This perfect canine specimen finishes the course in record time. 

&quot;There&#039;s one last requirement,&quot; the director continues; &quot;you must be bilingual.&quot; 

With confidence, the dog looks up at him and says, &quot;Meow!&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;Most people that do what you said they do [homophobia] would not do it if they were afraid of you&quot;

You&#039;re right - they do it out of pure hatred. Or they&#039;re so insecure of their manhood they have to resort to belittling gay people.

Fool.</description>

		<description>One of my friends often gets mistaken for a boy. Well,she does wear boy clothes. Dont think she takes it personaly though.
 But the though of a shop assistant shouting out &#039;gay boy&#039; is just so cringe-worthy.
 Would not happen at Waitrose Im sure.</description>

What has one horn and gives milk?

A milk truck.

I got a million &#039;o them. Why? Because I like to laugh. Why? Because laughter is the best medicine! Ha ha ha!!!</description>
