Boris, I don't think Pax meant to be malicious -- he just asked an ignorant question, and some of us answered it for him.

I didn't accuse him of being malicious.

So deliberately stereotyping a group of people is not necessarily malicious?

You really can't read, can you?

He didn't stereotype a group of people, nor did I accuse him of doing such. In fact, I explicitely pointed out I wasn't accusing him of doing so.

I have no problems with reading . . . .

part of your quote:

"I don't expect homosexuals to behave a particular way, one way or the other, because I don't view the behavior of one as somehow representative of me. My actions speak for themselves, and if someone judges me based on what some other idiot does, that's the fault and mistake of the person doing the judging. Not my fault, nor the idiot's. I despise the mentality that I am somehow responsible for the behavior of other gays, when the negative stereotypes about gays are based on a small minority of gays in the first place. It is justifying such stereotypes to do so."

I understand that in this context, you are protesting against having to explain yourself to others for other people's behavior.

But noote the context in which you included the word "stereotype" -- hence, you were talking about stereotyping in conjunction with Pax's ignorant question about about feminine-acting gays.

"He has great fashion taste -- oh, that's because he's gay."


"He loves the opera -- oh, that's because he's gay."


"He's culturally sosphisticated and likes to have tea with friends -- oh that's because he's gay."

Hey, hey... no need to pile on Boris like that .

[MrFun]

I wouldn't dare raise Boris's ire anymore than I already have.

GIVE THAT MAN A COOKIE!!!!! From waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. And proud of it to! My daughters godfather is gay and I wouldn't have it any other way.

he said hag *** not *** hag, and he wasn't addressing you.

But the point is, do you think the bad behavior of the kids I mentioned above has anything to do intrinsically with them being black?

It may have something to do with black culture however, and I don't think someone asking other black people why some bad behavior blacks say '******' (or talk about women like 'hoes' or something) is offensive in anyway.

[Boris Godunov]

The fact that I spend more time addressing your bad comprehension skills than the real arguments is thread is truly exhasperating.

Wherein that quote am I accusing Pax of being malicious? I am not, I am explaining that being expected to "chastise" other gays for bad behavior is justifying a stereotype, which is not the same thing.

You directly implied above that he was "stereotyping," when you said, "So deliberately stereotyping a group of people is not necessarily malicious?" Since he wasn't doing that, and I wasn't saying he was soing that, the question is a complete non-sequitur.

You are correct, sir.

Oh, pish tosh! You just have no fun, which is why you raise ires. I joke around and have a good time... and that list isn't bad things... and Boris is cultured and does listen to classical music (I'm sure some opera creeps in from time to time ).

[MrFun]

Boris enjoys what he does because of his individual personality and his own unique life experiences.

What does that have to do with being gay?

[Imran Siddiqui]

He fits the stereotype more neatly?
