Don't mind me, just trolling

Hard to say. But I don't think he's trolling. And to be honest, I'm not sure why everyone is getting so angry at someone just because they have parochial sexual views. Are you all really that mad?

Speaking for myself, yes I really did get mad (as in angry). Surprised the hell out of me too.

I took him for a troll at first as I haven't heard views like that expressed in real life. Bruce pointed out that wasn't enough to make him a troll, but from then on I just got madder as much due to frustration as his opinions. He generalised, didn't answer questions, didn't accept reasoned responses and wouldn't accept that personal opinion only goes so far here.

Some long time posters here hold views that are anathema to me - I'll still read their posts though. One of the reasons I started posting here was to be part of an intelligent, articulate and diverse community (regardless of how little I have to contribute). I'm glad I learned I can still get riled. I just don't need to take that particular topic any further.

He's working the edges pretty nicely. If he wasn't here, we'd have concluded by now that yes, some folks think sexual history is important. Some think it means nothing and many think its part of a spectrum of behaviors and attitudes to be sorted through to gauge compatability. We would all have learned something interesting about one another.

Unfortunately, as LJ mentioned we have not had a really good troll here in a while.

I agree, don't think he's a troll, just an asshat.
