An Argument For Being Born Gay

I never "knew."I never suspected.I never gave the matter a moment's thought.Now that you've suggested the possibility, I conclude that his sexuality makes not a whit's worth of difference to me or to anything he's ever said here and I can't fathom a reason why I should care.

It seems to me that he defends positions by asking hard questions of people and then doggedly insisting that they answer those questions rather than letting them change the subject or ignore the points he's raised. That doesn't seem particularly "faggy" to me. Of course, since you seem to be using the term "faggy" in a way that has nothing to do with sexuality, cigarettes or starting a fire, I guess I haven't a clue what you mean.

Perhaps sometimes.Sometimes that simply called making a reductio ad absurdum argument. Sometimes that's simply showing the ridiculousness that isn't always readily apparent in a position at first blush. Hmmmm, never heard that use of "faggy" before. You know, it sounds to me like you just threw out the first pejorative you could think of, one that was on your mind because of the thread topic, and didn't bother to think of some other term that might accurately convey the message you were trying to get across.

That's a danger. But at the same time, sometimes that's necessary to try to get the person to actually see the absurdity in their position. I'm sure you'll agree that we get more than our fair share of numbskulls with stupid ideas that they haven't fully thought out. And it appears that he got it from onifre. So my original point still stands, but it's perhaps more aptly directed to him.
