Thanks artsy. I appreciate the support. I'm definitely not always nice and peaceful--sometimes I feel pushed and then I get nasty, but it's good to know if I come off as mostly nice. I'm very angry but don't want to find myself being a jerk all the time.

Again, I am going to say that if you don't agree with something that somebody posts on the forum, have the courage to address it on the forum. You failed to do that, and you failed to make yourself available for a reply to the message you sent to me. I don't care if you disagree with me, and for all I know maybe in the end you'll end up being right and I'll end up being wrong. That's why I put my opinions out here in the open. Because they are MY opinions, and I'm not going to hide from them.

I don't really think there's anything wrong with his take on it. I don't think it's unreasonable to still do business with someone even if you don't agree with all of their politics, just like you don't have to do business with someone simply because you agree with their politics if they don't have the products or offer the services you want. I can see someone separating those things. I also understand those who don't want to separate them.

I am available if you really wanted to respond. Anyone on here can send me a direct message. I don't really feel like I had a responsibility to address it inside a thread specifically. And it's not like my opinions aren't known on this forum--there's no secret information that I've put on people's profiles but have refused to disclose in the threads.

Well not everyone here knows who you are. I never saw your name before tonight, and I would have no way of knowing what your opinions are. All I do know is that I tried to reply to your message to ask you to stop, and because of your preferences I could not do that. I'll just ask you again to please not send me private messages. I can't stop you. I'm just asking you not to do that because the message you sent to me was just plain flaming. You sent it there because you know you can't post it here.

Stay in school dude, how did you come up with that? I didn't say gay people are bad. I said boycotts backfire.

Does anyone know if there is a list for conservatives that do not support gay marriage? I would really like to starting supporting those companies. I know that I bank with National City and they supported a large gay function in my home town......and since that point I have been trying to locate a new bank. I'm not hating on anyone, but if the gays and lesbians have a list to support that's fine and understandable, but I would really like a list of people that oppose the views.

I know that I switched my car insurance when I found out that the CEO of Progressive gave millions to the ACLU, and I have told everyone I know not to get insurance there. And I will also never eat Ben and Jerrys as they are left wing radicals.

You should feel deeply ashamed and disgraceful because of your hatred and bias. We don't need another Holocaust in America and that is what you conservatives are trying to do to gays. Shame on you.
