  1. Chubby I am very sorry to hear you've had to deal with bullying at work. Growing up I had a physically and emotionally abusive older brother. Plus I was bullied daily in school. This went on for years which resulted in... well...still today at 35 my self esteem and self confidence is shaky. I'm a very scared, fragile person. A kid at heart. A gentle heart. Sending you hugs!! I've wrote about some of my bullying experiences in my blog. Let me know if you wanna check it out.

  3. She was traveling to different colleges to talk about her book and drug addiction. I went to one of her speeches and then afterwards you could meet her if you wanted to. Being a 90's kid I knew I had to meet her. I told her she was so pretty.

    @Blackinksoul30, I understand where you are coming from on this

    But the difference between you and him is in part a political one and mods cannot enforce political stances without losing their impartiality.

    As far as I am aware, no member here has been insulted or mocked for anything. And I don't think FW's post is exclusively aimed at LBGT people but is intended to mock what he views as political correctness. I see nothing that is overtly homophobic.

    The term "snowflake" is however intentionally insulting to those who object to certain things, so I have edited out this term in his thread title.

    Beyond that, I don't think enough has been done by FW to warrant further action on my part, certainly not without consultation. But I will take your concerns seriously enough to link the other mods and Admin in to this thread to alert them, then open a private discussion between us in the mod subforum.  @Admin, @Sophie, @Scot_Lover

    Finally, though, I would urge you in future to make your concerns known more privately to mods, because you risk generating public discord with FW and between those who back you and those who back him. We don't want unfriendly public flame wars here.

     

    Thank you for removing that word from the title. It is very much appreciated! Thank you to the admins and sophie and scot_lover as well.

  6. People are offended because people are stereotyping LGBT.  Laughing at someones gay, if they didn't do anything funny is offending them. 20 years ago there wasn't a bunch of people in this country trying to make LGBT feel like they didn't belong. They weren't singled out and made fun of like it is today. Granted I was just a teen 20 years ago....but 20 years ago yes there were shows where men where in drag. There was a movie with patrick swazye where he was in drag. Yes they were comedy shows/movies..cause the shows were meant to be funny. They were comedy shows. They were supposed to be laughed at in light hearted laughter. The goal was to make people laugh. 

    LGBT are being made the focus points of cruel jokes by people that truly don't accept them at all and being told that they are going to go to hell and all that other blah blah blah not true stereotypes that of course people that are singled out and already made to feel like they have no place on this world.... of course they won't like being called 'Insensitive'. The laughter in that post is from people that are against lgbt and the laughter is meant to be judgmental and cruel and stereotypical. 

    I really don't get the point of the post. It's really just to share narrow minded views of unacceptance and pass it off in a laughing matter. 

     

    So if i made a post titled "Some Christians think they follow Gods word."    Then post my opinions about Christians with memes about them. would that be funny to you? would that not bother you? I've been to a strict all Christian church.... trust me I have my opinions but i'm not gonna make a whole post devoted to it. 

     

    If at the end of F.W's post it said something like, 'This is not to make fun of LGBT and women and i'm sorry if it does so.' But see i don't think the post would have ended like that. Cause the post was indeed intended to poke fun of LGBT and women. That was the whole point of the post.
