I have more than a dark side, I am completely black inside. I have my share of antagonistic discussions here. But I find that if I can get past that if a new post comes in from a friendly spot from someone I have been fighting with, it is an opportunity that I don't want to piss away with some version of"Yeah well that isn't what you said before butthole." I believe in the constant ability for all of us to achieve redemption. > > you make up your own reality. You deconstruct the reality of others. You > impose your own context. You take away the context of other people.> Around here we call that being human. Your positivity is a form of intense and brilliant negativity. Why is this positive intention and modus operandi negative? Because it simply ignores, tramples over, destroys, banishes the reality of another person who would argue with you. You are both seductive and aggressive. And your ruthlessness knows no mercy. Mindfuckery of the highest order. This is not your first rodeo brother.

I believe you were incorrect in your assumptions about where I was coming from. <I do not recognize these qualities in myself. But you see in your response, and then in this response to Judy, you cunningly uphold your game. And everyone who reads what you sayto me, now here to Judythinks to themselves: Well, I guess Robin and Judy were wrong, because the righteousness of Curtis, even the saintliness of Curtis, shines through here. And first Robin, then Judy, are refuted. It just feels this must be so.> But in this case you really were both wrong about my intentions. I am the one who would know having some inside knowledge on the topic of myself. But I stand corrected all the time here when I misread so don't take it too hard. We all get our turn. And I am prone to seeing something to take personally that are not there in posts. just ask Judy who is the most likely target for my occasional touchiness. > > But this is just your power to remake reality into the image of what suits > your own purposes. No human being can claim to do what you do, Curtis. It is > a kind of scary and ultimate self-suficiency that is born of a tremendous > hatred of the authority of reality.> This wouldn't be the same butthole who sent me a plague of bedbugs which required me to spend the last week bagging up everything I own and emptying every closet and drawer, piling up all my possessions in the middle of my apartment like a yard sale Tower of Babel of my whole life? And I get to live this way for the next 3 weeks while my apartment is saturated by some version of Martin chemistry whose affects on humans haven't had time to be tested? Yeah, there is a bit of hater-aid in my fridge for that guy. Because if it wasn't evolution who turned the bat blood sucking bugs on the top of early man's caves into the creature who dines on us, if it was a conscious choice by a being who knew what a petulance this would be for man...let's just say my Christmas card list just got one card shorter. (Word to the wise, put on a very good mattress cover and check it frequently. Mine may have saved my ass in catching this in time.) > > Something like that. > > But I was wondering whether you would, because this really means something to > me, put in a good word for me with Barry.

But it has left a scar.> You are asking me to give up all the gay humor which forces us to strike the difficult balance of being gay friendly and yet touch on topics bound to stir up homophobia all in the same linguistically well-hung package? You are asking me to give up the challenge of balancing my turgid support for gay rights and against gay bashing with humor concerning gay culture and its sometimes comical intersection with straight lifestyles, insinuating by not reinforcing stereotypes that are hurtful and ugly, but adding just enough homo-erotica to make it all edgy...you want me to give up this opportunity for the cause of refuting Barry for not getting you the way I do? If he can't join our reindeer games that is his loss and that is punishment enough. > > Hey, Curtis!
