It IS a discussion, Rath. And it's about the topic up there on the thread title. Is it not a discussion because you're not chattering away about other topics? Because in my opinion, the gay community would be well-served to have a discussion about the frauds and phonies who self-promote themselves into role model status just because there's such a vacuum. Fools rush in, and all that.
Nothing you said in your defense of Richard's book even holds up according to the rules he established. It's "his" story? Except when it's not, right? As he so artfully put it, and I'm paraphrasing, everything in his "autobiography" happened, just maybe not to him. But the stories were SO important, he had to tell them as if they were his. Uh-huh. And THIS is the sort of person who is given awards just for being the Zsa Zsa Gabor of the era?
Of course you're done with this thread, Rath. You're done with it because you can't dismiss another person who read the book who agrees with me. SOMMS apparently didn't fit your definition of an arm-flailer, trying to be seen. So, you're gone! I wish Reichen would go too. All this public scrutiny appears to make havoc on his ability to have a real, grown-up relationship like a true role model would.
