So, the internet troll inevitably turns into some kind of grammar/spelling police. So let's turn it into something more fun...<br /><br />My question to you, Mr. Billings, in watching The Golden Girls to do your "research"-- did you "turn a little bit gay?" Is that how you came up with your cockamamie theory of GG turning boys into homosexuals? Did you suddenly wish you could be as fabulous as Blanche, as butch as Dorothy, or maybe as spunky as Sophia? (Which, for the record, identifying with a fictional character is not a slam dunk for the "Homosexuality is a choice" believers. The beauty of fiction is that there is a universalness in the experience of life. It is not that I (or anyone else) turn into a vampire, or scientist, or drag queen based off of what I watched or witnessed. If so, I suppose I currently am a space alien, since I've recently watched some Farscape episodes, or possibly Clifford the Big Red Dog) <br /><br />Oh, and I could title myself the Queen of Sheba, but it wouldn't make it true- and the same goes for your "Investigative Journalist" BS. <br /> <br />~C, Queen of ShebaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002426945621087885.post-29686151371568568412010-02-10T11:16:57.677+08:002010-02-10T11:16:57.677+08:00You spelled "definitely" incorrectly.You spelled "definitely" incorrectly.Stephenson Billingshttp://stephensonbillings.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002426945621087885.post-17631496518195155392010-02-07T09:57:23.166+08:002010-02-07T09:57:23.166+08:00@Billings: Here's the thing that you do, in al...@Billings: Here's the thing that you do, in all of your responses (of the nearly 400 that I've read that is). Instead of refuting my claims with more backing, even opinion: you attack me. Calling me pretensions and ill-advised? Attacking my grammar skills (a simple grammar check showed most mistakes in your quotes). I know I use more conversational writing than say the NYTimes, but since I'm a blogger, expressing my ideas on the internet, a first person narrative is more appropriate. (Don't let my masters' degree from NYU stop you from insulting my writing style though).<br /><br /><br />Sure, I do promote a clearer link (because your's led to the front page of a website, as opposed to the more specific site that you were referring too. I took me nearly 10 minutes to figure out why you were pointing us to this site).<br /><br /><br />Of course I read your article, several times in fact. And you did point out that many gay men do emulate the girls. I'm not denying that at all. It's part of many a gay man's life. But have you read your article? It would be one thing if you were talking about how the Golden Girls have influenced the gay community, but your thesis states that the Girls turned men gay! That's just rhetoric. Nothing made me gay. It's just who I as born to be. My lifestyle has nothing to do with what I watch. I know many gay men who loath the Girls, watch/play sports, drink beer and other heteronormative activities. <br /><br /><br />My blog post is not full of hate (and definately not fear of you!). I take the "facts" of your post, and tell my opinion about it. I make no claims that I am investigating, I am writing an opinion article! <br /><br /><br />Hate is a strong word, and after reading your post, hate is all I can read. I don't understand how you can have so much disdain for me, when you don't know me. All you know is that I'm gay; and because of that, you hate me, and my "family." If you were to say many of the same things about Black people, you would be called a racist. Make the exact same post but slant it to the liberation of the older woman and how Golden Girls made women more sexually liberated and allowed our moms and grandmas to have open relationships after their husbands die you would be labeled sexist and ageist. <br /><br /><br />Of course we will not be able to see eye to eye on this. We are both fully invested in this debate over gay rights and the gay community. You seem to have taken gay men as a personal attack against something meaningful to you. Let me tell you that, as a gay man, you've attacked me and things that I hold personal. And it's hard not to voice an opinion about it (such as you have by responding to this post). <br /><br /><br />Instead of attacking you again, and calling you names (that I believe you so rightly deserve to be called), I'm going to end with some quotes: <br /><br /><br />Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.<br />-- 1 John 3:18<br /><br /><br />"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another."<br />~1 John 3:11~<br /><br /><br />And since I will be spending the rest of my as a gay man: "Hope will never be silent" - Harvey Milk<br /><br /><br />"A right delayed is a right denied" - MLK Jr<br /><br /><br />"And since you know you cannot see yourself,<br />so well as by reflection, I, your glass,<br />will modestly discover to yourself,<br />that of yourself which you yet know not of."<br />-William ShakespeareFutureWorld84https://www.blogger.com/profile/06318189036470121883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002426945621087885.post-34073806755206774002010-02-07T07:58:08.589+08:002010-02-07T07:58:08.589+08:00Tom,
Who are you to tell me where my links should...Tom,<br /><br />Who are you to tell me where my links should go? You are intensely pretentious and I find your writing ill-advised and grammar-challenged. Of course homosexuals love the Golden Girls-- just take a peek around the internet why don't you? I am frankly stunned you have chosen to challenge me on that issue. Your own post up here affirms my point! And please note, I am not a blogger. I am an Investigative Journalist. Furthermore, my article details the connection between gay same-sex behavior and this television show. You clearly have poor, almost criminal, reading skills. Did you not comprehend my writing? I am offended and honestly outraged by the disdain and fear you spew at a well-meaning and decent man such as myself. I am here to share the care. Please keep your same-sex frothing in check. It is not appropriate and only hurts, not heals. Do you not know the love of morality and righteousness? You have your whole life ahead of you! Why you have chosen to spend it facebooking guys on the internet and practicing an outrageous lifestyle choice is beyond me.<br /><br />With my love,<br /><br />Stephenson Billings, Investigative JournalistStephenson Billingshttp://stephensonbillings.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
