So what. Back off. I refuse to say nice things about anybody that doesn't deserve it.

People treat me like garbage for no logical reasons. If I want to talk trash about a rude and conniving idiot , then I will.

Fine, I'm just saying why would you want to talk untrue trash? How would you like it if it were reversed? Nothing wrong w/hating your boss, I think most people do. It's just a matter of saying unkind, untrue things that can get around & cause a lot of trouble. Like I said, I speak from experience, it's not fun.

I have heard gays like to discriminate... on companies, elections, people who don't buy their logic, etc.

My cousin was fired from his job for being gay. He sued the b*stard company for discrimination and won. Now he works from home. It's quite disturbing.

If what you mean is give you an example of my own problems w/rumors, here it is....I was an assistant to a guy in a department. Very nice guy, we got along well, apparently I was the only assistant who actually made him laugh. Anyway, out of the blue, why? Because we got along???, one of my close co-worker friends told me that there was a rumor going around that I had gone out w/my boss &...you know....That was completely untrue, I had never gone out w/him, never seen him outside of the office. But because, what some jealous people? were pissed that I got along w/him, they decided to start the rumor. I was mortified! Thankfully, it died out very quickly, but I still think about how ****ed up that was to this day, that was like 2 years ago.
