Wasn't deeply interested enough to read all the backstory, but I can't imagine what you did to get mixed up with a nutter like that. Ignoring complete loons is the best way to go, I think. If he likes to make trouble, it's only because he is such a complete and thorough loser that this is the only way he can get any attention.

Also, I looked up Thelemite and found it is a bogus religion of the sort that only nutters could pay attention to, let alone embrace. Okay, so it's my opinion that religion itself is a form of mental illness. Still, some are a bit more whack-a-doodle than others.

Oh my god. This guy. Wow. I think it's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I think that--though ALL of it just floored me--Len's diatribe affected me the most. This whole, "I'm gay and Mykeru's a homophobe" crap angered me terribly. People throw around accusations of "racism" and "homophobia" too easily these days. Calling someone racist or a bigot is a HARSH and serious accusation and doing so unjustly is just so fucking wrong.

Ben brings to mind those people who, for some sick reason, want to be discriminated against so that they can join a group of activists and be a part of "the cool group." They WISH they were gay and TRY REALLY HARD to be gay, and think that saying they are will make it so.

Rev. Myk, oh my god. I can't believe you've been through this. I'm babbling now, so I'll shut up.

The whole shakedown at POAC and subsequent Stalinistic atmosphere turned that sandbox into a pay for play hallalujah chorus. Why would anyone pay to be ordered about and censored/censured? Oh right, BDSM. I forgot.

"They have already visited and physically intimidated two of the people defending this cancer patient, and I know that one of them lives rather near you in Virginia.

-Ben Burch"

It's the last part of the sentence that gets me. Ok, it's not like we need any more evidence, but what is he trying to say there? You might care more because the supposed victim lives in the same state? Not likely. But the only other interpretation is a threat to pass your address on to these people, so they can get some revenge.

But that rather contradicts his call for civility, no?

Muppet.

Thanks, Lesbia. That verminous cretin totally pisses me off.

Despite the publicly available statements of his very own personal ads, he's had the wontons to claim he was "gay" himself rather than the wholly accurate "recreational bisexual" appellation the Rev tagged him with? Then, to top it off, he laughably claimed that the Rev is homophobic?

Horseshit.

With his admittedly dubious gay rumor-mongering of Rush Limbaugh (for whom I have zero respect, but still), he crossed a radioactive line that no truly gay person should ever cross. We have to worry about dirty whisper campaigns in our own lives, and for him to peddle an unsupported and likely false rumour like that over the airwaves is simply odious. The Limbaugh rumour is not analogous to the situation with Spokane mayor Jim West, despite what Burch might like to think.

I find it interesting that, despite the fact that I recently ripped him a new one on yet another message board, was given essentially the last word on the BBE last year, and created the animated Flash version of the BBE on my own site, I have yet to hear from the allegedly litigious pigfucker.

Honestly, I should have never taken The Ben Burch Experience off-line. I mean, what was I thinking?

Rev, just a suggestion: link the BBE under "Features" again. As long as this scumbag tries to worm his way into the Liberal/Progressive tent, it really should be a permanent fixture. You and I both know he hasn't got a legal leg to stand on, so why not?

Len, you were the one who made that flash BBE? You did that? Because if you did? YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

Len,

I read that thread. Some people are, let me say, disappointing and leave it at that. And, incidentally, leave them to themselves.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me when my own battle occurred. With the exeption of a few brave, good souls, there was crickets from everyone else.

I began to think they must have all secretly hated me. But then I let it go and got on with my life.

Some people can't take the strain of not being sheep for too long.

Zarquon, one could earn a PhD in Useless Trivia if one could compute the exact number of bush-hatin' blogs and message boards across the cyberscrape.

I've twisted nothing. People make choices and choices have consequences.

Besides, it's not as if I'm going to miss people who bailed a while ago and I haven't heard from since.

The BBE may need to be Googlebombed.

There was a time when it was the first entry when you typed in "Ben Burch"
