Re:
1) Lighten up? Then why did you reply? Perhaps, my message irked you? Maybe I SHOULD lighten up; but if that is the case, so should you, since you've taken the time to reply to my public criticism.
2) So let me get this straight... you're telling me with a straight face and a clear conscience that when you were choosing the words to describe this accessory, referring to it as the "pinnacle of gayness" had no negative connotation WHATSOEVER?
If that is the case, I apologize... sincerely.
However, we both know that is not the case, so this apology is pointless and unwarranted. (unless of course you can prove otherwise)
Being that you decided to use these words, please explain why you chose them to describe this accessory.
Because I am of rather low intelligence, please explain in excruciating detail how these fringed leather arm accessories are "gay", "homoerotic", or flaming?
Is it something a homosexual man or woman would wear? Do you sincerely believe that is what a homosexual man/woman would find pleasing to the eye? And if that is your belief, how exactly would you know such a fact?
Perhaps you're still exploring yourself?
If you truly are staff, I would then assume you consider yourself a journalist. And as a journalist, I'm sure you understand that what you write will in all likelihood never please the wide spectrum of public opinion, and therefore you will be criticized. So, why does my comment bother you?
Finally, I say coward, because
you have no personal userid for which a reader can directly attribute your words to.
Anyone and everyone sees my userid: rider_md... I don't know if my email is on my page, but I figure if you're so upset about it, you, being staff, can look my info up on the profile I submitted when I subscribed, and perhaps have it out with me on a personal basis?
So who's the coward Mr. "Staff"?
