I Need A Reality Check, Apparently
Don’t you just love it when people will take the time to write a long email to tell you how wrong and stupid you are, but they can’t take the time to read your entire entry first? I received the following message today from someone who read my “12 Reasons Gays Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Marry” post.
who do u think you are listing these 12 reasons why gays should not be together, thats horriable and outrageous. who are u to say that this list of things is true. what really though just because we were not born with eye glasses stuck to our face we should not use them. and your also saying its not right for a person to use birth control?????, really though thats the most messed up thing . what do u think is normal????? young children 13,14,15,and 16 years of age runnning around having unprotected sex because the condom is unnatrual so then they end up pregnant??? then what they can’t raise a baby and finish school @ the same time so what then some of them turn to abortion , come on for the love of god people like u make me soooo mad. And whats this your saying gay people can’t have children??? where do think the children of these young mothers of the unprotected sex go. really think about it, u need a reality check.
Now, consider that this message appears at the very top of the post that they are referring to:
Please read this with a sense of humor. This list is meant to be sarcastic, showing the ignorance of arguments against same-sex marriage. Just for the record… I support marriage equality for all.
I responded, but I must admit that my response wasn’t very Christ-like.
Have u notised that peeple like this tend 2 always have horriable speeling to?
@ MBMQ: Ha! Yes, I noticed that, too. Maybe people should be required to pass some kind of test in order to have internet access – like an Internet Driver’s License. It could cover spelling, reading, and basic Netiquette.
I can’t even read that. It’s all smashed in one paragraph.
ENTER KEY ALERT, someone forgot how to use their ENTER KEY.
Don’t feel too bad. I was called a “breeder” because I used the words homo and queer in a post. Cause, ya know, I AM one.
Just because people can read a bit and type a bit doesn’t make them braintrust candidates. Just sayin’.
@ FreeFromItAll: Ain’t that the truth? I copied and pasted, so that’s exactly how it looked in their message.
@ Jamie: We just gotta roll with the punches, eh?
*chanting* “post your response, post your response, post your response!”
I’m with fightingwindmills,
unedited, too, please :)
I third the request to post your response.
Feed the troll! Feed the troll! ;-)
You guys crack me up! My response wasn’t really bad, just smart-ass. Read this with attitude:
I hope you weren’t expecting curse words and death threats. I promise to provide a kinder, gentler aura henceforth. :P
I think your response seemed very “Christ-like.” Except for that whole “I’m gay” part. :)
@ MBMQ: Maybe so, but I doubt Jesus was a smart alec. ;)
I think the “eye of a needle” story is Jesus being a smart alec. :-P
ROFL at the “I’m GAY for goodness sake” comment. Oh that’s classic.
@ fightingwindmills: :lol: Good point.
@ FreeFromItAll: I’ll be here all week. *bows*
I think you handled this very well!
@ Alyson: I could’ve handled it better, but I was irritated. ;)
