Jim Robinson is from California. So am I. If you want to address the poster's opinion, do so. Don't bad mouth the State with lots and lots of Freepers and make guilt-by-association wisecracks.

Even though California has a liberal reputation, I did not intend to start another flame war, about California. Ronald Reagan was associated with California, and he probably would not have taken my remarks to heart either...
didn't you see the Sarcasm warning and the </g> ??
I did not just stop at seeing the flag on his ID, but noticed that a number of his links (mentions of precancerous anal lesions among gay men, mentions of Log Cabin Republicans) had more interest to the homosexual community than the links FReeper's page typically do.
Combining that observation with his comments, I could have gone directly into 'questioning his manhood' directly.
However I thought a subtle jest was a better way of
making the point--i.e. that I had suspicions that he
was homosexual, and was being too sensitive on the
subject of, say, NAMBLA.
