Now it's not all DUers - oh no. But when you have that posting history you aren't even the 'about' category - you are in the 'At' category.

You know - I'm not subscribed to the GLBT group - I think I have it hidden. It's not because I disagree - and if you search around you will find I'm very FULL equality for the GLBT community. However - as a straight woman - there are certain things I will never understand. And maybe just maybe that group needs to 'vent'. Much like minorities - by virtue of how they were born - they have a tought row to hoe.

Maybe it's me - maybe I have a sensitivity chip. But even if I didn't have said "chip" - I wouldn't go in and drop a bomb just to be a cutesy wootsie dipsy doodle - you know what I mean?

I'm not saying this poster is ^that^ - it's how I would refere to MYSELF if I behaved that way in a group whose life struggle and life experience I've come to understand I am epathetic to - but sometimes my silence is a greater support to the 'other'.
