Some ancient philosophers mentioned in my post #2 were homosexuals or bisexuals indeed – maybe all of them. I never traced that and I never will. In my opinion it is not relevant at all.

The post quoted above – as I interpret that – was caused by my post from
Colin Dunstan’s thread. I criticized there the “Unutterably Silly” threads from the modern Lounge. Meanwhile the author of the quoted post is unutterably active in those “Unutterably Silly” threads.
I am the great advocate of the utter freedom of speech. Everyone can think, say, and write everything. “Everything” means everything so it includes also rudeness, insults, hate-speech, etc. From my point of view there are two kinds of thoughts and speech: wise and foolish. I prefer wise people but fool people have the equal right to live here and express themselves. And I have the right to destroy with my words any fool when he or she comes to me with their foolishness.

I do not like to clog up my own threads with some unnecessary posts. I decided to post this here and now because 24 hours after the quoted post appeared it seems to me that its author discouraged the other people from posting here. The quoted post may be offensive for some of you.
People, do not be offended and do not be offensive. Be calm and polite. Do not be discouraged as well. Be encouraged.
We have enough tools to defend ourselves against any unutterable attack. I am that tool.

The author of the quoted post may now try to argue that he used that particular word in some neutral sense. I doubt that there is possible any reasonable argumentation which might convince me to that. I know that kind of the people very well. For them everything which is a bit sophisticated is simply “gayness” though they use some other wording in that context. God with them!
