In all honesty, it's a board. As long as the posts are related to the subject it shouldn't matter where. Homophobes can post under the brokeback mountain thread because it sure beats having an "I hate faggots" thread in off-topic discussion forum.
Just my 2 cents. Spend it wisely.
t4terrific Wrote:Thanks Richard Simmons. I appreciate your approval. It's nice that the homophobes and the homosexuals can get along here.

This thread is about the film so if you've not seen the film and post this crap you obviously want to intentionally try and rile people. If that is your intention then please move it to a new thread.

I'm also not sure why being a New Yorker makes any difference with such a post. I was born and raised in NYC and still live here. My brother is gay and I wouldn't think to speak of him in such a fashion. I just don't find it funny.

Maggers Wrote:That is one of the most bizarre statements I've ever seen posted on this board. How can you "intelligently discuss" something about which you have no ken? What you are discussing is not the movie but rather your strongly held feelings, opinions and fear of male homosexuality.
Granted threads on this board have gone astray; it is often fun to pull a thread and watch it unravel as it moves from thought to tangential thought. "Brokeback Mountain" does have as its basis a loving relationship between two men, so if one is afraid of such a love, then I guess you can say that discussing your fears and dislike of male homosexuality is somewhat related to the movie.
Just do not say that you can intelligently discuss the movie.
