Just my two cents...I think it's kind creepy to criticize a fellow Freeper for the screen name they choose! I think you skate awfully close to "making it personal" in your off-the-wall and, yes, snide criticism of our dear Elsie. Many people here use non-gender specific screen names and others don't. Why should it matter?

I've had a few here just presume I'm a man even though I share information about myself in my Profile that clarifies. There have been some Roman Catholics here who refused to even dialogue with me once they found out I am a woman. They toss out the silly excuse that St. Paul teaches "women should not teach nor usurp authority over a man" as why they won't engage even though this isn't church, they aren't my husband and they HAVE submitted to women as teachers in many areas! If my gender was not known, there was no reluctance to dialoguing on a thread.

I think you should apologize for mocking Elsie and implying he might be a homosexual/transexual based on his screen name. That's just dumb and uncalled for! Discuss the topic, not the person - whom you do not know.

Well, boatbums, fist let me assure you that I never thought you were a man, based on your screen name. (I must admit, however, that the thought has crossed my mind from time to time that you might be suffering from some kind of aberrant "multiple personality disorder", since you chose a screen mame that is plural, but, that's your business.)

Now, to address your other points, that's pretty weird, boatbums, that you think that is creepy to tell the truth about something. I didn't say anything that was false, and I didn't say anything at all about Elsie being a homosexual. That "homosexual" term came completely, 100% from your own mind, boatbums, so you might want to more closely examine your own strange thoughts, before you begin throwing despicably false stones at others.

I just pointed out the 100% honest truth that a male poster here uses a female screen name (Elsie). Do you deny that simple truth, boatbums? Do you have a problem with hearing the truth, boatbums? Do you prefer to hide the truth, boatbums?

Do you have a problem with reading that Bible text, Deuteronomy 22:5, boatbums? Does your Bible also contain the many texts that tell you (via St. Paul and others) that we Christians should admonish one another, when we think it is possibly needed, boatbums, as the Holy Spirit says that is the right thing to do? Do you really believe those texts are the inspired Word of God, boatbums?

Quite frankly, I believe YOU should apologize, boatbums, for falsely claiming that I was implying Elsie was a homosexual, which is an utter, complete, bald-faced lie! I implied no such thing. That is all your own mind, boatbums. I just used a text from the Holy Scriptures to warn Elsie about how God looks at men who falsely and deceptively pretend to be women. Falsely pretending to be a woman, and being a homosexual, are two completely different things. In fact, many transvestites are heterosexuals (just do a quick Google search on "heterosexual transvestites"), and it's likely that many men who prefer to use girly names are heterosexuals too.

The Bible talks about homosexuality in several other spots, but Deuteronomy 22:5 is not referring to homosexuality, but is referring specifically to men who pretend to be women, and declares that that kind of behavior "is an abomination to the Lord your God". In the future, try to stick to the truth in your posts, boatbums.
