Nicky,

I've always liked you ever since you posted that comment about Dom being such a good writer that he could write a gay story about two sticks .

And while I don't always agree with many of the members here (as I'm sure they don't always agree with me), on the things that matter I've found a tremendous amount of support from a wide variety of members.

Awwww...thanks Vic....I've liked you since I first got here because you have always been nice to me. Also, I thnk it's true that Dom could write a awsome story about 2 sticks...lol.

It just felt really good to read all of those sweet comments that everyone made, so I can see what you mean about them all being supportive

Kisses

Nickolas

Nick,

First of all, I hope you don't mind me calling you that. Every time I type "Nickolas" I have to go back and check my spelling.

Anyway, you probably felt like nobody liked you because you were spending your time in the SoapBox. That's a pretty intense forum (designed to be as a matter of fact) and you bring views that are sometimes tough to deal with. Why are your views tough to deal with? Well, speaking for myself, I hear where you are and it doesn't sound all that dissimilar to where I was when I was your age. It's hard to address that issue without sounding condescending or patronizing, and I'm sure you absolutely hate it when people tell you that you're just too young to understand and that you'll get it "when you grow up" or "get older". There is something to experience and wisdom, but that's rarely appreciated by the young and idealistic. That's not such a bad thing.

So while many of us are ready to crucify Nick the politician, that really doesn't mean that we don't like Nick the person and want him to be part of this forum. I'll bet you have friends and relatives that don't agree with your viewpoints (I sure as hell do) but you still like/love them, no?

Most people in this group are keyed to fight against injustice. It's part of the gay and gay-allied persona. We'll get your back. You just have to make sure none of us grab your ass while we're at it.

We'll get your back.  You just have to make sure none of us grab your ass while we're at it. 

Keep your grubby paws off him, he is mine (and I'll even let him keep his bf).

Seriously, thanks for having my back though. It was really awesome of you all

Sorry Snowey, this one's mine. You got Mikie.

I would have to say that hate is a word that is thrown around very loosely. I can have a differing opinion and argue vehemently without hating. Sure some opinions may get my blood to boil because I am passionate about my opinions. I don't hate people because of thoughts or opinions. I hate people because of their actions. I never hated you. I hope you didn't hate me. It is okay to be frustrated with one another because we don't agree. I just don't see how anyone can say anything in the Soapbox to meet the threshold to earn my hate. I think a good rule of thumb for the Soapbox would be: "Don't hate the player(s), hate the game". Take care.

"Don't hate the player(s), hate the game". Take care.

After the performance of the Chicago Bears against the Redskins yesterday, there are a lot of players I'd be hatin' - not just the game...

Hey, we gave up less points and scored more points than the Packers

Ouch, that packer comment hurts! Though they really did suck yesterday...

Always good to focus on the positive. I'd make some witty retort about how that wouldn't have happened if the Bears PLAYED the Packers, but the Packers are pretty pitiful too, so it's not clear what happens with that train wreck.

Damn GoBears, you are versatile. Hanging out in gay bars and keeping up with football.
