Oh, and fuckwit, people wanting to have their names spelled correctly is not anal retentive. One's personal name is rather an important thing to a human being. You might want to read up about human beings. If you're going to be a clergyperson*, you will want to know a bit about us.

Evensong, this is my playground. I am too bored honestly by your sad antics, to even try to play with you.

You seem to be assuming that non-native English speakers have a habit of correcting others' posts. As a non-native English speaker here on the Ship, I would very much like to see your reason for that assumption please.
Personally, I have been on the receiving end of corrections all the time, but I see it as that someone is doing me a favour by pointing it out most of the time. Yes it can be irritating if I was already in a bad mood, but most of the time I don't see it as a negative. One thing that hasn't been said during this particular spat is that for some people, atrocious grammar and bad spelling can be extremely irritating for them to read. In those cases, when they exercise restraint by saying nothing, they are being very tolerant as well, but nobody knows about it. I don't know if this applies to Mousie or not, but this my two pennies worth for you to consider.

Hi Pooks. No, I wasn't thinking that non-native speakers are more likely to correct stuff, but less likely to understand idioms, such as 'he came over all postmodern', etc. You can tell a really good second language speaker by the grasp of idioms, innit?

Sine-- I totally believe Quetzalcoatl hasn't run into MT much yet, mostly because QC (I guess?) has been sticking to a small number of threads so far. He has seemed pretty cool, well-informed, and pragmatic in those venues, too. I hope the two gentlemen eventually get over all this and hold hands and and sing kumbayah and stuff, because they might like each other.
MT, I would agree with everything RooK said in response to Evensong's "above reproach" comment except to edit one sentence to read "While his ability to turn into Edward Scissorhands for about a day or so and then accept said reproach." Because I can be picky, too.
And now for you, Evensong-- whatever about everyone else. You are not worthy to scrub out Duchess's toilet with a toothbrush you intend to use. You have no clue the caliber of person you are cutely dismissing like that, and it is your sad, ignorant misfortune that you don't.

To be pedantic¹, the first sentence need not be directly connected to the second sentence in terms of objects. They can be separate supporting statements to the thesis. No matter what Strunk and White might prefer.
¹ I realize that this phrase is generally "understood" in my case and thus superfluous. I just like how the phraseology rolls off my keyboard.

The fucking obnoxious thing of it is, quetzalcoatl sometimes says things that I either agree or disagree with and want to respond to, but I don't dare lest he think I'm picking on him or something, the poor, fragile, precious little dear. Fuck you, you pansy.

How about we have a truce? I'm OK with you agreeing or disagreeing with me. If you want to talk about grammar, maybe we could have a thread on it, but I have a Ph. D. in linguistics, so I might just fuck you with a dangling participle.

You can get a degree at the City College of San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Studies programs on a wide variety of topics including Dick Waving. It's part of a larger community writing and making art, films and theory that includes Susie Bright, Peter Berlin, a friend of mine who did a documentary on the Cockettes and James Franco although he's trying right now to get his Doctorate at NYU.
I've sat through readings of academic papers on San Francisco Leather Bars and the history of the Lesbian Bar Maud's. You can get a doctorate on the topic of Dick Waving in San Francisco.

Go on. I looked for sources and could not, but I am inclined to take you at your word having lived here in the Bay Area since 1976. Please link to sources. Also, I apologize, I took your post wrong. Thanks for clearing that up. I now am going to eat my veggies and go for a walk. Looks like I need to stay off the interweb for a bit.

I've been chided before here not to put in a lot of urls since it makes a lot of work for hell hosts.
So let me give you a resource summary which itself has a lot of links
LGBTQI Studies & Sexuality Studies Programs in North
America
Look up San Francisco State University (although they now only list a masters program), City College of San Francisco: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies
Department.
The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality
And slightly out of the city, UC/Berkeley and Stanford have undergraduate degrees.
Since it's been decades since I went to a queer theory class, I'm not able to rummage up the citation on the anthropology paper on the leather s/m bar the Eagle. I think it was by Gayle Rubin but I can't find it online directly.
For the rest of the dick waving many books have been made into films. The Frameline.org annual film festival lists a lot of documentaries. Peter Berlin, Susie Bright all have books about or by them. There is a good film about the Cockettes, a moving documentary about Harvey Milk.

Glad this is still here since MT called me a racist on the Zimmerman thread and I just wanted to say:
I'd bet every penny I own that I've had more real, face to face, dealings with African-Americans, racism, and the fight for civil rights in any single year of my life than Mousethief has in his entire rarified, cloistered existence. Fighting racism is about actually doing things not sitting in front of your computer calling people names when they don't fit your Liberal Views checklist.
You have had, first me, then MOO, finally Tortuf explain what the case was about and how the evidence of Trayvon's membership in a fight club factored into Zimmerman's self-defense claim and you have chosen to ignore it because you think it makes you look like the great white defender of poor mistreated blacks to call other white people racist. It's illogical and ridiculous.
