I Love My Facebook Friends!

Watching a bigot get torn apart by some of you on my wall has been a highlight! He is someone I grew up with since grade school. We were never close, and if it wasn't for Facebook, I wouldn't even have ever been in contact with him.

A lot of people from my school have friended me. Even though I hated 99% of them, I accepted their friendship. Growing up gay in a small town really sucks!

He's since become a minister, and I wondered how long it would take him to get biblical on me.

So, I'd like to thank those of you who are helping me make him look like a horses ass where everyone of his followers and folks from back home, can see how wrong he is.

That's our job, baby. We can't leave such important work to amateurs.

He's a douche. And his arguments are inconsistent.

But then again people who use the bible to prove a point will always fail the logic test. It's open to too many interpretations to be the foundation for any argument.

I really have a bad habit of getting into it with other people's Facebook friends that I've been trying to break myself of, but sometimes I can't help myself. I'm just pretty sick to death of the "gay people living their lives in a way that has no effect on me equals infringing on my religious freedom" crap.

^ Yes. Some people's facebook friends are so damned emotional! They need to take a chill! Kinda sad actually they can't get a grip.

He never answered one of my direct questions to him. And the post about me being a sinner, ending with 'but I love you, bro' make me want to yak.

The best part is that we have a huge circle of mutual friends. They are all PMing me with support, and I notice he's not getting any of his friends backing him up at all.

I don't know his entire story, but he's a minister of some sort. I'm glad he's getting his ass handed to him on a plate.


And don't worry about saying anything you feel like to him. I've already removed him as a friend, but haven't gone as far as blocking him yet. I think he needs to learn a few things first.

Phyllis, I find myself getting into the same rut- responding to people I don't know. However, they should realize that when they put something out there, it's "out there" and they're bound to be called on it. LOL!

I don't think I'm FB friends with you Diva, but if I was I'd rip him a new a-hole for ya too.

Do you think he'll respond to my last question?

I'm reading it now. WTF?

[TheatreDiva90016]

I don't think so. He decided he couldn't discuss it with me any more when I posted that entire list of questions and called him out as a gopher killer.

So all your lives are full of drama here AND on Facebook?!

Sounds like fun. Too bad Facebook spooks me, so I update like, once every year. And I'm in and out, just to let everyone know I'm alive. I have perfectly logical reasons for this and I always feel like my privacy is violated when I log on. The last time I logged on, several personal photos somehow got uploaded and were made publicly viewable. The photos were G rated but still sorta private.

I have NO idea how that happened. Scary ****e, that FB.

I don't Facebook much either. I don't understand people who have hundreds of friends - these friends are often just acquaintances who maybe have some hidden agenda like this Minister guy.

"but I love you, bro"

Patronising, condescending, garbage - I've had someone say that to me and my response was "Your sort of love I can well do without."

Come to think of it, I've had a self-appointed minister of his own church rapping me on the chest with his index finger telling me what he thought of me. I pointed out that his behaviour was that of an arrogant, conceited egotist - that took the wind out of his sails - he completely lacked any sense of self-awareness surrounded, as he was, by a cocoon of intimidated yes-men (and yes-women).

One of my school friends (who was bullied a lot for being gay) now has a high profile job with a well-known international organisation, and consequently a lot of those bullies ("it was just a bit of fun") now want to befriend him on LinkedIn - he has a great time telling them to fcuk off.

Ooh. I somehow missed this.

I'm going to look at it on my lunch break.

I hope it's still there?

Oh, it's there...

He seems to have realized that he has ended up looking like an ass. I get a really great PM from someone who went on and on a put how Kevin does this al of the time, and he loves that I called him out and didn't back down.

It makes me very happy right before Election Day.

May I satirically defend him?

Dammit. I hate it when I miss a good smack down!

Posted: 11/5/12 at 11:43am

I'm sorry I missed it! Of course since I called my Nephew's co--worker a whore I have been a titch more reserved.

I'm using the free wifi from the bar next door and some sites work. Some don't. Facebook doesn't, so I can't catch up on today's episode of To Catch a Religious Nutbag. I'm very sad.

I've deleted a few "friends" because of this election, but I somehow still have over 600. I personally know a majority of them, either through school, through mutual friends, or because of networking. I don't randomly add people I don't know and I ignore adds from people without at least a few mutual friends.

Back on topic, this kiki is wonderful!

"May I satirically defend him?" <--- a five-word question that captures the zeitgeist perfectly.

When I got off of the subway this morning, the construction workers working on the Fulton Steet hub were blasting
"Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat which I thought was interesting.

How fitting!

Growl, you can do whatever you want.

And you should take pictures and then PM them to me...
