I wish to address these two comments, MrV.Originally Posted by MisterV
First, 12 years ago, I was robbed at gun point outside my home in Vegas. At that time I participated on a blackjack forum and the assailant made a comment that I knew this was a result of my posting on that forum. I thought if it was known that I had passed away, that would protect me from future robberies. That was a stupid mistake. BUT I have owned that ever since. I admitted it and didn't disappear and reappear with a new name/handle. I didn't run and hide. I owned and owned up to that. If you or others want to label me a liar because of that, so be it.
As for the gay thing:. I didn't come here and announce that I was gay. Axelwolf did that for me. Axelwolf is one of those guys that jokes around with his friends about being gay. I am not claiming axelwolf and I are friends, although I consider us online friendly. Offline, I think he knows who I am and certainly knows people I have met and played with.
I am fine with that kind of ribbing. But the "shit" that you speak of is not in fun. It is attacks. Everything from wishing I died of aids, to a lie that my partner died of aids, to this seedvalue making up lies about male prostitution. That is not in fun....that is homophobic hate. The very same hate that more and more often people act on offline, shooting patrons in a gay bar or club. I am sorry but I don't find a lot of humor in that. And there is a connection. So often these people that take their hate offline have an online presence expressing that same hate before they shoot up some group of people.
