    I mean you are all too-willing to disclose this particular bit of info that really isn't anybody's business. Not saying you shouldn't have the right to. Personally, I won't tell anyone who I voted for 'cept for my wife.

    The flame throwers here on both sides never make it long. They either get banned, board when their tactics are understood and they can’t get the same rise out of folks anymore, or truly can’t fathom the idea that their opinions are not taken as the absolute truth by everyone and that other opinions exist, and burn themselves out fairly quickly.
    there are a few on here now from my perspective on both sides, but just waiting it out like I always do.

    Context is your friend. My daughters would have been bummed to see a hairy male princess at Disney.

    Let me make this simple. Post a gif of a young girl dancing in a suggestive way and then tell me it is MY culture and I will call you a liar.

    Had you said a lot of right wingnuts have no issue with this and I would not have considered it a lie.

    As for her, yeah I think when 3 mods ask her to explain herself and find her post yo be untrue she should at least correct it. Her silence is a double down in my opinion.

    Listen, I dont consider you a poster who is a liar. I just considered that post to be a lie.

    I can burry the hatchet as good as anyone and don't want to keep an ongoing feud over it. I will say, that I will be more careful with the term going forward.

    Yeah, that wasn't at all the context of your remarks at all. You made the comment to say how you wouldn't let your children near a person who was potentially LGBTQ (and defended them as not bigoted) and should own up to it.

    I gotcha. Remember that first came up when I started a thread ripping Trump and giving my reasons for not voting for him.
    We all sorta "know" each other in a certain way here and I was just trying to be transparent. Basically, I didnt want that stink on me anymore. It has come up in multiple threads since as people unaware have made the assumption that because I lean right that I am MAGA.

    Again, dont want that stink on me.

    Bullcrap. That was 100% about a specific dude at Disney. That was the whole point of the thread.

    My kids are very much around them and aware.

    Some of you guys want to hang that on me so bad dont you... lol!?

    You stated you wouldn't let your daughters near a person who did nothing wrong other than be LGBTQ (possibly). The fact that you are now trying to change your words to making it about your daughters somehow being disapproving (or "bummed" about that person existing, to use your word) of that is disgusting, honestly. And completely dishonest on your part. I honestly don't think that is like you and is just because you are firmly in defensive position.

    Would you like me to post your other posts from that thread?

    Go ahead. If its the thread I am thinking it is, you should start with the part of the thread where i talk about my sympathy towards the young person working at our Moe's who is clearly transitioning and how I take my kids there all the time.

    Quote the parts where i mention how I feel that young person should be treated. How they clearly look sad all the time and it has been my mission to make them look me in the eye and smile. Discuss with the folks how I was happy yo put a smile on that kids face and how they always go out 9f their way to talk to us now.

    Then link us to the story of my employee and our dear friend. Pretty sure I discuss them in that thread too.

    I also remember in that thread saying that Disney should not do anything or hinder that person working there other than maybe put them in a different role.

    But sure. Go one with your narrative.

    Call me a liar then. The way you throw the word around gives it no meaning coming from you anyway. You clearly don't understand what it means. Done.

    Okay, here are some of the posts where you stated you would not have wanted an LGBTQ person near your children (at no point, do you pawn it off on your kids not being happy about LGBTQ people, as you do here, and then stated that was the context, when it clearly wasn't):

    Do you want me to continue posting comments that match Soho's accusation (which is that you have stated that you want to keep LGBTQ people away from your kids)? The bolding is every time in those posts that you expressed your desire to keep a person that you think is LGBTQ away from your kids (for no other reason than they were LGBTQ, as the person was clearly very polite in the posted video and had not demonstrated an inability to properly do the job).

    Keep trying. The disney thread was specific.And even then I was very open to how i feel compassion for folks. So be fair and post all my other posts on the topic. Cherry picking out of context isn't usually your style.

    I spend most of that thread voicing compassion

    Well is a twerking child my culture?
    Have you withdrawn the comment?
    And I showed you a clear websters definition of lie that states it can be a lie even if you think its true.

    Do you consider the anti vax or election deniers liars? They believe it. Its their assumption and opinion. They have been called every name in the book here.

    Saying something made up and speculative about someone that isnt true.. is what in your opinion?

    Again, I'll be more cognizant of my use of the word, but thats a two way street brother.

    No, you spent most of that thread stating that you weren't engaged in bigotry while simultaneously saying you wouldn't want an LGBTQ person near your kids. You intermixed it with stories about how you couldn't be a bigot because you hired somebody who was trans and that you were recently nice to a trans person. But the accusation was that you stated you wouldn't want an LGBTQ person near your kids. I provided full evidence of you doing exactly that multiple time (and not limiting it to that one person- who, it should be noted, did nothing wrong other than being LGBTQ).

    Soho's accusation was accurate and you should apologize for stating that Soho should delete the accurate statement about what you said.

    I did not spend "most of that thread" doing that. C'mon man. The thread is still live. I havent deleted any posts. Its there to see.

    His accusation was multi pronged.
    He said I had said this on "multiple occasions". You have cited one specific thread where I am speaking only about a specific setting.

    He also accuses me of calling being gay a behavior.

    So again. He is incorrect. I have done neither. (Bent context notwithstanding)

    I provided multiple occasions. The fact that you did it a bunch on one thread is not inconsistent with his post. And I could provide a bunch more instances of you doing it on that thread (despite your claims to the contrary).

    So, do you think being gay is a behavior?

    1. Saying it in one thread. Probably in one day, in one conversation constitutes one instance and again it was case specific and by no means my overall view. Thus my other points in that thread to ad clarity.

    2. I believe same sex attraction is something you are born with. Not a behavior.

    It was not in one day. It was not in one conversation, as multiple people noticed that issue. You never provided any particular reason why that person deserved that sort of reaction compared to other LGBTQ people. Because, frankly, that person did nothing wrong in that video. And you have never backed off the claim that you wouldn't want your kids near that person, who, again, did nothing wrong.

    So a person is born gay, in your opinion?
