Tell me about it, and sending the wrong message is right...Imdanny|1435481853|3895602 said:Same sex marriage will be great for the diamond industry. I wouldn't be too quick to pull threads celebrating it. You're only going to offend people you have no interest in offending.
Wait. What was the question?

Umm, I was agreeing with you...? I am gay. So I'm not sure what generic side you're referring to...Imdanny|1435482365|3895604 said:Diamondboy11685|1435481952|3895603 said:Tell me about it, and sending the wrong message is right...Imdanny|1435481853|3895602 said:Same sex marriage will be great for the diamond industry.

I'm sorry but I don't care. I worked 1/2 hour on my post. It's too late for me to repeat myself. My side won. Your side (generic you) lost. I've waited 47 years while your (generic your ) side had its way. My give -o-care meter is broken.

That's why I used the word generic!
I'm sorry it takes you 30 minutes to type a post, but that doesn't change the fact that you're not making any sense at all...

I think that he wasn't talking about *you*, even though your post was quoted. The "generic" you, refers to all the people out there who ARE against gay marriage.
Hope my "translation" clears it up.

Thanks so much! My engagement jewelry finally feels validated lolTekate|1435497062|3895662 said:DiamondBoy congrats to you and your SO.. welcome to being a first class citizen in marriage in our great and wonderful country.
No worries Danny. I think everyone was a little passionate about either the thread or the fact that it was deleted. I'm just glad to know that is was because of the religious and political ranting and not about the content of the thread celebrating the decision.Imdanny|1435565779|3896157 said:Diamondboy11685,
I apologize for the misunderstanding I caused earlier. I was upset by some of the comments I read in the deleted thread. I was frustrated by the "you do not have permission to read this thread" message I got when I tried to make a post I had taken 1/2 hour to write. Still, this is no excuse to reply to you in a way that must have seemed aggressive and required clarification. Please forgive me.
Danny

I'm not being smart, I just genuinely want to know. I understand the whole religion and politics thing, but I think if people could respect echo other that would be a non-issue.

The problem is people don't respect each other.
They've been taught not to.
Rather, since childhood, they've been taught that it is their job to convert the world to their way.
Otherwise-sane people go cray cray when discussing politics and religion.
If those topics were allowed PS would need a crew of 20 moderators working 24/7.
I'd MUCH rather that full discussion of these topics were allowed and complaints just ignored.
No **** and no spam but everything else is okie dokie!
21.24% of PS would get their panties in such a tight twist that they'd leave.
Good riddance, I say.
The fake niceness here is .
I'd rather have everyone 100% honest.
I've been on many fora, but have never seen such a bunch of overly-sensitive, fragile, and insecure posters.
