article in ThinkProgress: "Anti-LGBTQ education in home and the classroom"

[caribou]

Please read this thoughtful and well-done article. I hope you find it of interest. It does explain the very hard and real limits that stress gay men and gay womyn in the public education and other public institutions.

It amazes me that someone apparently as bright as caribou is after being a member of this forum for years under another name, and as caribou for almost a year now, can't figure out that we post comments about the sex scenes and models on this forum, and that Mark has provided another forum called "general chat forum" right above this one for discussions of this sort. As Johnny said last night, caribou makes some good posts and links to thought provoking articles, but why can't he figure out where the proper place to post them is???? He's obviously not stupid, but apparently likes to be different.

Ooh, Mikey getting a little feisty! Have to agree, though. I think the political stuff would be better suited to the general chat area and this part of the forum left for the discussion of the Broke Straight Boys boys and their videos.

Actually Scott, Mark has "reprimanded" caribou & KRU about posting on the wrong side of the forum and has told him that he will simply delete his posts on the "wrong" side but under either name he continues to march to the beat of his own drum.

Some people get a kick out of going against rules and seeing how far they can push things. Its like they dare authority to take action against them.

And I kind of like seeing your feisty side, BTW!

You should've seen me in my younger days Scott, I wish! lol

I enjoy Mikey's feisty side too. lol Caribou/Kru likes to have it both ways. He wants to defy rules and authority by purposely posting in the wrong sections of the forum. This in spite of, or maybe even because of, the fact that Mark has warned him many times that he will start deleting his threads if they're on the wrong side. But then when Mark follows through and does delete any of Kru's threads posted on the wrong side, Kru wants to pitch a fit and play the offended victim of censorship. lol

Yes, and that's the other side of those who push authority -- as soon as there are consequences (usually fairly warned), they are angry and feel put upon, shouting about discrimination, victimization or censorship. Cannot have it both ways. Make your stand if you must, but also freely accept the consequences of your actions.

Maybe there doesn't need to be two separate sections.

I kind of agree with you. I personally don't need them separated.

Thank you Mark for moving this thread into the general chat forum which is where we discuss non site related matters. These are obviously very important matters but as you've provided two separate forums, it doesn't take that much effort from a poster to understand the difference and to respect your request that we post in the proper place. Thanks Mark.

Just want to agree. Especially as KRU his years of lying about being a collage student. And now as caribou just being a jerk.
It is nice seeing management taking note. Sound like a Ass? Don't care. Just saying what I feel.

C'mon guys. You have to know why he does this. To get a rise and comments out of you. Don't accommodate him. Ignore it. And notice how Mark handled it - he made the switch without a public comment. Ignore him and let management deal with it. And if nothing happens, management obviously doesn't care so why should you.
