Who said I was going to wait around? I've made it very clear what I do with homophobes: I cut off association with them. I'm delighted if they later learn to behave like humans. But I won't be the person who teaches them.

I mean this is exactly what I'm talking about. The privileged are so hellbent on refusing to accept that they have responsibility to make themselves better and educate themselves and untangle their own bigotry that you're hollering at a queer person for not being willing to associate with homophobes, to the point…

This made me actual LOL. Thank you.

I posted a thing that, as far as I knew, the dude said. A shitty, shitty thing. If he didn't say it, thought rescinded and opinion amended to: maybe he's a good person, maybe he isn't, but dear god, just don't make me watch his shit".

I would have no personal interest in forgiving him if he, for some reason, asked me. But that's because I think he has an extremely annoying persona and I'd have no interest in knowing him in the first place.

Yup, that's exactly what I said.

I wouldn't be the one to ask, that kind of depends on individual people and their level of forgiveness, and the people actually directly affected by what he said.

‘You can’t send me to talk to gay people without warning! Those people weird me out!'”

Don't give 'em replies. Just report them.

Nah, this one has been around awhile, and was all over the Avocado too. Started appearing around the same time I banned both Saturday Kid and The Mute Lurker.

I have a couple theories as to who this is. My suggestion is to email comments.avclub@theonion.com for trolls that get to this level. They've usually been quick to respond and ban.

Facts. Not fax.

This is amazing and now I want a CEG version of the Single Female Lawyer theme.

Pretty much, or at least I imagine so, as I don't drink coffee. It just tasted obviously cheap and poorly made.

And nothing of value was lost.

Calm down, Darjeeling. I hate it when you're upset.

Which is not to bash those women. At the time we were ALL alcoholics, the unemployable, and angry loners. We lived there so we could stop being those things!

I was going to make the standard "alcoholics, the unemployable, etc" Simpsons joke, but literally the only people I've ever known who watched it were women in the sober house I lived in. So it might be too true.

Yeah, I still think he needs to face continued criticism over his hypocrisy (criticizing the party while voting obediently with it at almost every turn, with this major exception) but I am SO glad this was the exception.

That is not the implication, except in your own head.
