Nobody has tried to "minimize" your bad experience. We understand that you have had bad experiences. It is just best to be aware that generalising people based on one bad experience is rarely wise or fair.

"So, it seems that people want to minimize my bad experience"

dont be angry about them. Go from the point they cann't understand what you endured and it doesnt matter what they think.

Why did you put in your profile "Misunderstood Poster" Any reason for that ?

We have in french a proverb : "Les chiens aboient et la caravane passe" (the dogs bark and the caravan goes on !). Take it easy and enjoy your new job.

Hey Tim

I hope it didn't feel like I was minimizing your bad experience. I'm really sorry you got hurt, and as I said there is a lot of wisdom in your advice. All I meant to do was express my own, different, opinion. I hope I did so in a way that was respectful of yours and sensitive to your feelings. If I didn't then I'm very sorry.

Take care and have a great day

Well, I was even accused basically of not liking bisexuals, but there was a topic where I said I'm open to dating them, so I feel as though there was a lot of misunderstanding there. However, I take any possible relationship with caution, and I'm likely to only go for one who is at least somewhat more attracted to men.

Opinions vary on a lot of things, because we all have our own unique personalities and circumstances that shape who we are. Thus, I think people need to keep that in mind. If ever clarification is needed, I'd rather people PM me about it rather than flaming in the forums about it.

soooooooo.....I think I'm the guilty party here....but if you had an issue with my reply to your stereotypes you could have PM'd me about that...instead of saying its all cool in chat...then running off to your blog to post this about me...

but thanks

Oh, there were others Greg, and I think I posted this blog entry before I posted this blog. I saw your second post, and I'll be honest. It felt like an attack, and instead of posting in the thread, I decided that my blog was more appropriate.
