WEST POINT — Cadet Katie Miller said she couldn't listen to her comrades toss around the word "fag" anymore, and making up stories about fictional boyfriends was driving her crazy.

So Miller, a lesbian who ranks No. 9 in her class of future Army leaders, stepped out the closet last weekend and quit West Point.

"I thought I would have the strength to re-closet myself," said Miller, who was openly gay to her family and friends in high school. "I completely underestimated the personal toll it would have on me.

Good God. Never even occurred to me. This is going to be one tough horse for me to break....

I’ve dealt with trolls, post baiters, and the likes of such ‘illustrious’ personalities as JohnGalt and Asmodeus.
Both were trolling, both are currently resting in the eternal pits of post heck, thank the mods.
Also.. dealt with people who feel we must ‘debate’ the libtrolls.
Long story about all of it, might tell it one day.

It is hard to remember until a Mod says it. LOL It isn’t pleasant to be scolded.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

that's actually what hit home for me - when you said Mods enforced it. I always thought it was more an Emily Posting suggestion. And even if they don't enforce it anymore, that's probably because they have a zillion other things to do, so it doesn't make it any less wrong to violate it.

Wait - I'm talking about the mods - do I have to ping them now?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Oh for the love of pete - now you went and called up someone out of the blue, someone who has over a year’s seniority on you, just because you couldn’t look up to see if the name existed BEFORE you decided to be a wise a$$???

[Darksheare]

Ask Nully about bizarre poster names you wouldn’t guess existed in a million years.

Speaking of Nully, anyone hear from Cuttnhorse lately?
Last I knew he was down working with the mining company in Chile.
And memory says something about an earthquake near there recently.

[DJ MacWoW]

Oddly enough, that signup shows no posts. Really weird.

And if someone hits abuse because you mentioned them and didn't ping them a Mod will say something.

[null and void]

How did I get sucked into a conversation about gay promoters?

[Darksheare]

Because you are the master of knowing bizarre poster names that people mistakenly ping and find out to their horror that the handle exists.
And then I remembered our Dimensional Doors thread MIA.. Etc etc etc.

[DJ MacWoW]

You couldn’t think of a better way to ask? *snerk* NEVER use that term and gay or homosexual in the same post.

My dog's between toe cleaner. Works like a charm.

You should see it work on camel toes...

[Darksheare]

LOL, well..

[DBeers]

I am against gay people getting special treatment as much as I think it's ludicrous to pass laws to facilitate those who prefer missionary style.

What are "gay people"? Can you defines them WITHOUT discussing the disordered and unhealthy sexual acribatics they promote, are predisposed to engage in and choose to engage in?

We talk about behavior alone here -not people...

How long will it take you to realize you have been duped by the left?

Crickets chirping?

Heh.. I like when people play dumb.
Reminds me of the truckers I deal with in the performance of my duties at work.

Bunny. Fence. BIG wrench?

[null and void]

You didn’t ping Bright Eyes...

[Darksheare]

An adjustable wrench no less.
And his little flop eared kids are just as destructive.

[null and void]

No. Sorry. I suck at the internets...

[Darksheare]

Like I said, you’re the master of knowing bizarre poster handles that nobody would even think existed.
*sigh*

No, doesn’t come in a pocket version yet.

Yeah there are times it blows.................chunks. ;-)

I had given up hope that someone would hit that reference, and YOU came through! Cheers!!!!!!
