nfotxnI love it when some half-wit decides to power trip 'cause they moderate some large internet group.
I really do.
Worst of all this kinda stuff happens fairly often.

I assume you mean my user profile in the yahoo directory? These things are separate from your group and I doubt yahoo would hold you responsible for the content of your members profiles. I also fail to see how my picture is adult or "dirty".
I'll change it anyhow but I don't appreciate this Gestapo shit.

And this has to be the most moronic statement I have ever seen - how fucking judaeo-xtian gradeschool of them. "Dirty" things - oh please - since when has the human body in any form been a dirty thing...
Morons!!

Date: 2003-02-18 08:37 am (UTC)I've always been concerned with the frankly "anti-sexual" turn many GXB groups have taken. I know for a fact that Randy Stern, the founder. NEVER intended the GXB to be the mavens of prudery they seem to have become. I understand the idea of offering a safe haven for young bears to explore their sexuality, but it seems as though that thought has migrated into being an excuse for control queens to squelch any sexual aspect of being a young Bear.
Which is fucking hilarious, since being a Bear inherently places you in a SEXUAL subculture. Sheesh.
Well, if you'd ever like entertainment, I can tell you about the GXB-Chicago star-chamber meeting to have me thrown out after i held an impromptu orgy at my place and neglected to invite the club President. Oh, well.

Date: 2003-02-18 07:24 pm (UTC)i say if everyone's of legal age, why the fuck shouldn't the space have a sexual air when it wants to? forgive me for being iffy on my bear history, but wasn't GXB formed mainly to have bearclubs that didn't meet in bars? if that is the case, then the issue has to do with alcohol, not sex...
bah..."dirty"...

Someone is just too bored and feels compelled to make it difficult for others.
Just damn sad.
