The first part of your screed is based on your understanding of 'fight' to mean with physical force (though that's not a bad plan). Since a lot of your ranting is based on that point we can skip your first couple paragraphs.

Oh well pardon me for taking YOUR use of the term "fight" to mean physical force when writing comments for an article about bullying. I guess that's my lack of reading comprehension coming through.

Sorry bubba, words mean things. You can't be inconsistent with their use and expect people to let you slide. You really don't know what you've written even while you're typing it, do you?

So I'm supposed to ignore my anecdotal evidence and accept yours?

I don't give two shits whose anecdotal evidence you accept. I merely answered your sweeping generalization by telling you to back it up and then I gave you an anecdote to show you that I don't agree. It's your sweeping generalizations that irritate me. Had you qualified your unfounded assertion by just saying it was your own limited opinion and not tried to base your whole argument on it, I probably wouldn't have even responded to your bullshit.

Moreover, I am not going to sit here and try to prove a null hypothesis with anecdotes... that ain't even really possible. I'll just let you hang yourself by continuing to insist that gay people are THO THENSISTIVE EEEE!

Your assertion is of the same quality as saying "black people are great athletes because they are genetically predisposed".... it just shows where you are coming from, nothing more. And though you may be polite about it, it's really ugly. That's why I'm being mean to you.

I swear to you honestly the majority of gay people I have met in my life have been way more obsessed and affected by what people think of them than their straight counterparts, from how they dress to impressing people with stories of their sexual escapades to how smart they are.

Keep digging, asshole. You are a piece of work! I would LOVE to see you try to argue that to some actual gay people face to face. Somehow I don't think you've really known very many of them. Call it a hunch.

As someone said in a different thread, we are drifting away from the original topic. Step back from gay bullying. There was an implication that gay children kill themselves in higher proportions than non-gay children.

"Step back from gay bullying"? Sounds like you should just stop posting then, because every one I've seen of yours so far is about gay bullying.

Wow, I'm running out of insults. You post dozens of comments to an article about bullying, minimizing the victims and making idiotic assertions about the lack of "emotional fortitude" you perceive gay people to have on average, and then you get on your high horse and say that. Fuck you. Have I used that one yet?

If you line up 5 gays, 5 dorks and 5 retarded kids and have a bunch of bullies torment them, and 3 gays kill themselves, while only 1 dork and 1 retarded person kill themselves, that would lead you to conclude that there's something about being gay that makes them more sensitive to bullying, wouldn't it?

WTF are you talking about? You're inventing hypothetical "research" now? And again, the boy in the article WAS NOT GAY. I was bullied and I AM NOT GAY. You are going in circles and think you're getting somewhere. Step back from gay bullying bubba.

If gay children are NOT dying in higher proportions, then this story is not relevant to broadsheet or homosexuals in general.

Well fine and dandy. Also completely wrong, because as the comments that are pwning you are saying, most readers of broadsheet and most gay people responding to you actually DO think it's relevant, or they wouldn't have responded at all. So why do you, if it's so irrelevant?

We remove the issue of gayness and step back to the general problem of bullying, not bullying of homosexuals or perceived homosexuals.

In other words, bullying is a general problem but there is no bullying specific to homophobia, despite the testimony and personal experience of millions of people to the contrary. Glad we cleared that up. I guess you should call Day Of Silence and inform them of the great news.

You are part of the problem.
