[QUOTE]Originally posted by Curiosity killed ...: [QB] [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Russ:[/i] What this thread is about seems to be whether the Ship can good-humouredly accommodate the spectrum of views on homosexuality, or whether it will in effect come down on the progressive side by deeming any contrary opinion to violate the rules of civilised discourse between individuals. If we allow Thunderbunk's approach to apply to all issues - [i]"I identify as a Methodist so any negative view of Methodism is something I'm entitled to take as a personal attack to which I want to be allowed to respond with personal abuse"[/i] - then it's hard to see how the Ship could continue.[/QUOTE]You are suggesting that homosexuality is equivalent to churchmanship. If however we believe that homosexuality is an unchangeable part of someone, like race, then Thunderbunk's argument reads: [i]I identify as black so any negative view of blacks I am entitled to take as racism to which I think should be regarded as an offence against Ship rules[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
