(Is it he?) He said that he was basically co-signing with your post.

I read yours as "Yes, there may have been outside triggers, but there are also things within the GLBT community that could have affected this girl."

I read his as "OMGAWWWWD I HATE WHEN GAYS DO THIS AND THAT. IT'S SO GAY WHEN GAYS DO THESE THINGS. But everyone else does them to."

I am still trying to figure out why he posted that tirade (not what he said).

It could be a "she."

LOL. She/he was venting and I don't think she/he intended to co-sign my post. But, you understand the point being made when you remove all of the vent stuff. Take away the stuff like "the GLBT community gets on my damn nerves because they are some of the most closeminded." As with any other minority group, only members of the GLBT community can say things like that, perhaps replacing "they" with "we" and having a completely different connotation.

I can see that.

Perhaps if s/he had quoted your post, it wouldn't have come off as bad. But I still see it as a "10 Things I Hate About Gays" checklist rather than an alternate POV.

Yeah I acknowledge that post was wrong in tone and that's why I only quoted the part of it that mattered for my purposes. LOL. You aren't surprised because posts that say "flame" should usually say "fail" instead.

It's like my saying "Black folks get on my darn nerves sometimes" (which I say often ) versus a nonBlack person saying it. Whatchumeanwegetonyourdamnnerves?!
