True unfortuantely. And what is really awful is that often a disclaimer will be 
interpreted by some lonely individual ("breeder" or gay) as a brush off. The 
responding person then might try again, hoping against hope. If someone had 
misrepresented another person as being into B/D, D/s, S/m, with a couple 
mistakes the consequences could end up a potential felony!

Being gay does imply that you have examined yourself to SOME degree, but I 
doubt gays wouldn't cry foul just about as much, I just think that the gays 
on this board either aren't as prone to scream (society's anti-gay values 
already something many are used to), or in the case of you and Darkmore, 
aren't as prone to get this prank pulled on them because they are more adept 
at the use of the board.

I have always refered to these trucks as "penis-trucks". The only use for them 
that I can see (side from running over and crushing cars in super-dome rallys, 
oh so very useful!) is a dick-enhancer/reassurer for chauvanistic small minded 
bastards who are full to the brim with macho-bullshit. I've seldom seen any of 
the fools I know who have them use them to go anywhere where they might get 
DIRTY, Goddess forbid!

I'd agree there's reason.  She's entirely correct: your grammar, spelling, and

content...

  "I mean honestly I don't go around flaming people in fact only on rare
  "occasions do I have a harsh word for anyone.
No, you generally prefer vapid tripe.  You're getting flamed in large part for
the same reasons Catherine Manry was a while back, for using alt.personals as
a contentless "chat" group, and moreover mangling the language the while,
which Catherine at least usually avoided.  Whether you actually are or not,
you write like an airhead, and you write often.  Some people get tired of it.

  "Will someone explain this to me. PLEASE.
  "Rai.
  "P.s. Not that I can't handle this. I just don't understand the motives.
Well, as above.  Normally I wouldn't say anything; "n", "k", and "j" keys work
just fine, and I have no burning desire to inhibit anyone from posting,
"cleanse the group", or whatever, regardless of what they choose to write.
But since you're actually asking, and defending, that's my opinion.  You, of
course (and your supporters) can accept it or not, as you choose.  I'm not
asking you to change, only explaining why I personally can understand the
motive.

  Originally, alt.personals was supposed to be the place to post ads.
Then it started filling up with clutter, so someone created alt.personals.ads.
Unfortunately, it's not carried everywhere that alt.personals is. Worse,
it's now filling up with the same clutter.

I do apologize for the wording in my last posting.  I got a little bit of  
flack from it.  The posting was a personal post without the consent of the  
institution or organizers of the the party.

It should have read something more on the lines of:

How does a romantic night by the light of a camp fire sound?
How about a romantic night by the light of a bonfire?
How about a 30 foot high bonfire?

Scharpenberg Hall presents its Second Annual Post Bonfire Party on the  
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's campus.  The party will start  
immediately following the lighting of the bonfire.  The party is  
officially DRY (no alcohol).

*music and dance
*upperclassmen residence hall
*refreshments served
*additional refreshments may be served in various rooms

**Considering that this is an all male school, females would be preferred  
as guests by most of the students**

I do apologize for all of those whom I may have offended with my last  
post.  I'm sure that our school has some people with 'alternate  
lifestyles'; how infinitesmally small or large that group is, I don't  
know.  Sorry for not being 'politically correct' in my last post

I dunno about that...it can easily mean that you know where you stand

maybe the advantage is simply that, with a bitch, it really doesn't matter. :)

	be good communicators, and thus you won't have to guess

	done this before.  Also, body language tends to be obvious.

	Thinking that someone who is popular goes out all the time
	is probably one of the biggest misconceptions.  Suppose
	her/his (making this general) friends are all busy?
	Suppose they actually decide to stay in for the hell
	of it, or to get some rest, etc?  There are alot of
	factors involved here.  There's no real way of assuming
	somethig that general unless you know the person and
	he/she says this right out. 

	Anyway, don't take this as a flame.  I'm just putting
	my .02 worth in.

	True, however alot of women still tend to be traditional.
	But I still wouldn't mind if one asked me out either. :)
