However, I don't think Fred is "normal people". Fred is devastatingly
attractive. Whimper.

It's weird for me.. I'm new to this whole "these are the sort of
people I'm attracted to" thing. I've covertly subscribed to the Bear's
Mailing List for a year or two, I told myself just because some of the
writing was good and some was sexy.

Then I look around at the motss.con, and I notice the set of people
who I'm choosing to spend my time with. For example, I looked around
on the porch at Alan's BBQ and I was surrounded by 8 bearded men, most
(if not all) of whom were full fledged bears.

I notice men with beards more often than men without.

I'm noticing a trend here. What ever will I do? :-)

I wasn't threatening anyone's employment, nor was I engaged in any
argument.  I was merely pointing out that other gay employees at Apple
believe that Melmon is atypical.  They resent Melmon's occasional
bringing up his employer in his postings.

I think that this concern about censorship is a little hypocrtical.

If you're confused, I cancelled my post (not because I didn't like
what I said, but because I really didn't want to start this
conversation.). Unfortunately, by some rule of Usenet cancel messages
never propagate as quickly as posts, so half the world got it anyway.

ObMotss - I'm seeing a lot more "business" type e-mail and postings
with these little triangles in the signature. I feel vaguely silly
using text graphics, but only vaguely.

Speak for yourself.  This attitude is dumb.  It assumes that some people
are persuadable when they are not.  The verbal club is every bit as 
effective as sweet words depending upon the recepient, just a little bloodier.
It also has the nice side effect that if the really stupid person you are
hitting over the head continues to be a dork, you, at least, feel better.


I've been around soc.motss on and off since 1983-84ish, and much of the
stupidity is the same stupidity as hundreds of others before.  Some
people won't learn, and to indulge their stupidity is a waste of time.
Its like trying to explain to a dog not to poop in the middle of the living
room.  You don't explain it to them, you hit them.  People who insist on
trying to explain to dogs why they shouldn't poop in the house, generally
have houses full of dog poop.

And don't think I'll share any of my Coleslaw a la Crawford
with you either:

   I must brag, finally, that I'm famous, among a small
   group of regulars, for my coleslaw.  The basic 
   ingredients are shaved cabbage, green peppers, finely 
   chopped pimiento, and pineapple.  Over this goes a
   dressing of mayonnaise, a liberal amount of both dry
   mustard and prepared mustard, the juice of six lemons,
   olive oil, cider vinegar, hot peppers, and a magic
   mixture of spices and herbs that I buy from a restaurant
   in Hollywood, the Cock 'n Bull.

I don't know about this... There is something about someone who is dressed

Now, if I can choose to see anyone naked at any time... That would be

I don't know about left versus right handers, but there is a similar propensity in

be unable to tell their left from their right.  Just ask one for directions :-)

No; however, what looks "good" will stink like rotten liver next week.
That the standards of "looking good" are so ephemeral suggests that
people's adherence to them *are* a result of insecurity.

Actually, you probably *would* recognize a $2,500 suit, just as you would
know that a twenty dollar entree was not McDonald's.  Certainly, if you
saw someone in a $2,500 suit (a mid-range Armani) standing next to someone
in a generic suit from Macy's (costing perhaps four or five hundred) -
you would recognize the difference.  It is more than a label on the
inside.  The cut would likely be perfectly tailored to the individual,
the fabric would glow, and the person wearing it would probably carry
him (or her) self with more confidence.  In a room full of suits, an
Armani does not fade into the background (unless everyone in the room
is so attired).  And that is a major point of fashion (or coloring in
the animal kingdom, for that matter).  To be seen and respected.

   And then there's wild turkeys.  They've been reintroduced in
   some parts of the country, were there all the time in other
   parts.  
   
   I know, for instance, that Glenn's parents in Neenah,
   WI are following the progress of a bunch of new ones.  
   The same may be true here in Athens, at least they're *never*
   on the hunting season lists.  The first day after we moved
   into our new house I heard the strangest sound out in the
   back, and there, on the raw, red clay soil was a *huge*
   turkey eating all our new grass seed.  Last year at this
   time I was working out back and heard the sounds of what
   must have been a dozen or more in the woods to the north,
   working their way through the trees in a semi-circle 
   around me.  The cats were amazed.
