I guess it was more out of sarcasm than anything else. You are an insensitive jerk for posting an article to a worldwide network, including an individual's name in the subject heading. If this was net.auto or net.micro.pc, it would be one thing; but in a newsgroup such as this, your insensitivity is inexcusable. Second of all, I don't give a damn about what Jerry Falwell thinks about "the homosexuals". Since I don't live the life of "the homosexuals", I could not care less what he happens to think about them. As crappy as your attitude is, you did get one point right; it definitely is NOT "normal" to lead a "homosexual" lifestyle. Since there are (by far) more straight people than gays, homosexuality would definitely not fall within the norm. Your phrase "you (and the collective you)" was definitely very presumptuous. As a matter of fact, it bordered on being downright obnoxious. You are in absolutely no position whatsoever to place any labels on me, just because I "happen" to read this newsgroup. After all, what does that make you??? Even if I did choose to lead a homosexual lifestyle and not follow ways of "normal people" (as you would say), it would still not be your place to place me in any specific category. I hope one of these days you grow up, Arndt, and stop playing these childish high school games of playing MR. Big Guy, criticizing people for how they choose to live their lives. Even though I don't necessarily advocate "homosexuality", I am sensitive enough to people's feelings so I can understand how it must feel to be in a minority group such as that. After all, people are what they are, and NO ONE (on Earth) has ANY right whatsoever to try to change them. I think I have gotten my point across (unless you are just plain stupid, which I think is a strong possibility, based on what I have seen of your previous postings), so that is all I have to say. Unless you have something intelligent (and of interest to other readers of this newsgroup), why don't you go play in your sandbox...
