Re: explaining things
I probably shouldn't bother answering this. People psychoanalyzing or otherwise explaining me around here are something I just have to shrug off all the time as it is. But this relates to my comments on this thread I assume, and why would you expect me to try to put forward a whole theory of sexual identity in such a context?
You seem to be missing the point. I wouldn't expect you to be have a theory of sexual identity given that you don't know diddly squat. But the one that you did give was incorrect.
As for psychoanalyzing you... I did not do that because it was unnecessary to do so. I reported your actual behavior without ascribing any motivation or reasoning that you yourself did not state. You did, in fact, make up a proposition about how people acquire the gay voice that was wrong. And then you told us that you ought to be able to think whatever you want.
I have no idea what makes you act the way you do, but I can document what I have said by pointing to your posts.
I'd have to interview the families in question.
And most likely you'd still be unable to accurately answer the question. But you might gain enough ammo to be able to state some other have baked nonsense.

Re: explaining things
Why do you so often answer posts I've addressed to someone else as if I'd addressed them to you?

Re: explaining things
Why do you so often miss the whole point of what I said that you think you are answering? I was referring to Blue Jay's comment as psychoanalyzing me. You can answer anything you like, but you can't treat what I said as if it pertained to you when it didn't.

You have no idea what I know. That's obvious enough from your brainless comments, but you also know nothing about what I've studied, experienced, done in my life.

In this case, I do know. What you think does not match the research on the issue, so you don't know. In fact you've admitted that your position is just what you think.

You have no idea what my thoughts are based on, and you've said nothing about the research and your assertion about it is worth zero.

I don't have much experience with the gay world but I haven't lived under a rock all my life either. As a Christian I'm maybe less likely than I was before to be in a position to know gays, but interestingly I've had a gay friend for about fifteen years now who I met on the internet at a conservative forum, while my experience before was more at a distance.

Re: explaining things
You pick out things I say and make them mean something else. You're almost a genius at that, whatever it should be called. I can count on you to pick something out of what I wrote and answer it as if it was my point when it was at best a side point. In this case you just confuse categories. Saying I had less opportunity to know gays before I was a Christian does not imply I didn't know a lot about psychology, family pscyholgoy, the development of sexual identity and all that, from reading, and from practical experience among psychologists as a "paraprofessional."

My goodness do you guys sleep at night? I'm up at this time because I'm sitting in airport waiting to fly to the keys.

If you say the word "gullible" slowly, it sounds like oranges. Go ahead and try it.

Good question. I'm "elderly" and my sleep patterns are all messed up. I don't sleep well at night so I sleep a lot during the day which makes it harder to sleep at night and so on. I get the pattern more or less straightened out and then I have another sleepless night.
So there's your answer fpr me.
ABE: However, I think most of the names that show up on the board during the night by American time, are in the UK or Europe where it's day time.

Re: 'taint none of my business
Years ago he started believing that white people have freckles because they eat potatoes and black people are black because they eat corn. To this day, he still believes these things.
Wait, so, that's not why white people are white and black people black?

You do realize it isn't night everywhere at the same time. We have members from around the world.
