65. Why did you post your assertion in the first place?

You didn't answer my question... just wanted to say something insulting. What grade drama was that?

See... You started it. naner naner naner.

EDIT: I thought this was in response to my other post that was directed at you.

In response to this sub-thread. I tried to respond positively to a thread about a wonderful proposal by a gay man to his boyfriend and couldn't because I was locked out. How was that not a good use of my day? (regarding my efforts. I agree it was a waste of time clicking on "reply to this thread" only to get a message saying I was not allowed to do so, but that was not me wasting my time, that was the BOG wasting my time - while discriminating against me.)

In the post you replied to I was pointing out that ridiculous situation and illuminating the bigotry and closed mindedness on this board, I'd say that is useful.
