Darth Ex and Epoetker will not be allowed to post in this thread. I expect the mods to delete their posts as they appear.
This post is written as a benefit to the people I offended and attacked during my rant yesterday.
I've always known that the atmosphere up in Civics gets a little caustic at times, and I decided to participate in it for a spell. I think its become a terrible echo chamber for Christian conservatives, and could do with a few questions from time to time from someone who doesn't believe that a world with universal healthcare is the worst thing in the world. I live in a country with that perspective.
However yesterday I saw a couple of things that upset me emotionally. I used to be transsexual, and was on a course to go through all the steps of "sexual reassignment". Thankfully Christ stepped back in, but it leaves me fairly sensitive to their issues. Seer referred to someone who wanted a hormone replacement therapy as an "it". While he did that simple for sake of rhetoric, and thankfully got soundly criticised, it upset me a lot and put me into the red corner. It was more than seer's post that accomplished this though, a "supportive" friend had a big hand in bringing back all the things I thought I had gotten over. I'm still terrible gender dysphoric and that's something I have to deal with.
So I head into the Barry Laughs At Everyone But Himself, first of all because it was gonna be a dumb conservative backslapping session of people congratulating each other for something they wouldn't mind for a second seeing in a conservative politic. Something I was tired of seeing, so I let off my mind about how dumb birtherism was and is, and Darth Ex went into birther mode, defending that its plausible with all the vagueness of a troll.
I said somethings I regret. Not the stuff to and about Darth Ex, I think that's spot on. However for the fact that I wasn't in a sound state of mind I take back everything I said about One Bad Pig, and I'll dial down the statement about the majority of conservatives here being anti-[insert positive quality].
There's a lot of filth on this part of the forum, much of it goes completely unchallenged. A lot of unstated assumptions that are taken as fact and it seems to be implicitly implied that anything left of Reagan is commie. I have a lot of questions to ask conservatives, but I find I'm not geared for it. Its not healthy for me to post here, and if posting here has a high likelihood of me going into an embarrassing rant mode, then I'd rather not.
See you in the other forums where something more real than politics is being discussed.
