- You missed the point.
-
- The point is, that our words are being used against us.
- Their words are also being used against us. We have the double
- job of having to couteract both.
-
- I don't advocate an eye-for-an-eye, but it is a known thing
- that taking anti-LGBO* tracts (for example the 10 questions most
- asked of homosexuals) and rewriting it homocentrically does get
- the point across...
-
- Giving them large-scale media presence with carefully
- chosen excerpts I think is wholly fair. Unlike their treatment of us
- it is difficult to take "Extermination-Incarceration-Castration"
- out of context.

-
- What a GREAT way to get out of doing anything! I'd try
- that regarding housework, but I don't think it would wash...
- (or get things washed...). So, Andrew what is your resume of activism...
- you ARE doing something, right?
-
- Um that includes not apologizing for blantantly mysoginist
- statements? I suggest you clean your own attic before attacking
- mine...

- I don't think he is, but he is treating this in such a way
- to get attention (he pretty much told me this in e-mail). Poor kid.
