Where did I show no tact?

If everyone didn't post something because they thought it might offend some people, there would be no discussions/threads on this board.

As an honest discussion, it may not have too much scholarly merit, but it seems like a fair question to ask.

And as satire, it's no worse than saying that white boys can't jump, white boys got no rhythm, white boys can't handle spicy food, white boys wear ugly golf clothes, etc. etc.

The start of this thread and my subsequent responses have no satire or sarcasm in them. And I disagree with you regarding the lack of scholarly merit.

CK, i must admit you are cracking me up with this thread. i'm sitting in my bosses office reading this and the above sentence is just so bloody ridiculous. nothing in particular that you have said is that funny, just the fact that this is taking place.

Are you being sarcastic?

i guess so. i'm not even sure i know what the hell we're talking about any more...
you're original example referred to one man as nothing more than an example?
however the general flow of discussion, beginning with my assumption and you're own subsequent examples have referred to the gay community as a whole?
i'm i correct in saying that?

I am not open to discussing this with you CK.

I stand by my original statement and if you dont understand it well there is no hope for you.

i just perceive it to be such a baseless and stupid observation that you have made that i have to laugh. it's ridiculous.
you seek to come to conclusions about things that are wholly based on something that we have all concluded is a stereotype-well any conclusion reached will be colored by that stereotype and thus, meaningless.

i'm gonna hang around to see if sicy does in fact nail your ass though

The original example was put out there merely to get people to agree that there exists "gay" voice. I'm sure you have met a person and not knowing their sexual preference concluded that they might be gay. After that example was established, I proposed a question, "Is that "voice" learned or is itinstincual or a product of their chemical makeup?"

I admit that the discussion did go onto other tangents, such as do gay men act, dress, talk in a certain way to let people know that they are gay. I cannot define the "gay" act (other than the obvious) or the "gay" wardrobe. The strongest identifier, other than being out right informed that a person is gay, is if they have the "gay" voice. Of course this only leads you to mildly suspect one is gay since there are gay men who don't have this "voice" and there are straight men who do. If you look at my previous posts, I made a semi-arguement that this "voice" has evolved so that gay men can identify one another. I'm not really sure if I totally buy any of this. I just wanted others opinions on the matter.

I refer to the whole population when I argue that there exists a higher % of gay men who have this "voice" than are straight men who have this "voice".

You're pissing me off. All I said was that I was also curious to the answer to your question as well BUT you know I TOLD you the thread is offensive. AND I would not post about it but rather ask someone in private. Also, you should not be discussing what we talk about in private on the forum.

Dont be a fucking ass.

You're possible banishment is indeed getting stronger.

Take me off your AIM list.
