Bargains

[Thropplenoggin]

Someone could always ban this troll who seems to delight in making mischief, antagonising the forum's homosexuals and 'the Left'. A mocking, sneering, cruel tone that is incapable of reasoned debate. Oh, that none would respond to its calculated provocations! Denied of the limelight, it would surely wither away and move on to its other haunts (R3OK, Amazon messageboards). One has to wonder at the sheer amount of time it vents spleen against the aforementioned targets: what trauma happened in its life to make it react this way? Perhaps we should pity it?

One thing - these are your opinions, and yet you seem to stating them as facts...... generalisation, or what.

But even more intriguing, is this; What exactly is the point you are trying to make? Just thought I'd ask for clarification's sake.

Of course they are my opinions....why else did I add 'I'd say'?

Would you seriously suggest that the likes of the noxious Adam 'Mars' Jones, Stephen 'heterophobe' Fry and Edmund White constitute artistic genius? Shame on you if you are!

My point has been made and my opinion has been given. I need add no more.

Tchaikovsky, Proust, Dirk Bogarde: all great at what they did, all resolutely stuck (of own free will, in DB's case) in the closet. Their self-disgust was a large part of their genius, I'd say.

If I shared their inclinations, though, I'd feel no compunction to share their....erm...closet.

No definition, I see

Right!

I'm sure it's a bargain at any price.

Mandy, aren't you interested in conflicted heterosexual men?

Unusual in one so self-absorbed, I agree Flossie

You missed out Michelle Shocked, of whom you have recently become a fan because if some 'off-meds' comments she's made
