If you really feel a need to prove some point or other to lesbians, I'm sure you can encounter them in other fora. I don't imagine that Kitan was being harsh or disruptive or anything of the sort. I suspect, but can't prove, that he went there with the best of intentions, they discovered he wasn't a lesbian and someone complained to admin. *shrug* That's the risk you take when you go someplace you aren't wanted.
I think the point is more that it's stupid to have a thread detailing who can and cannot post in the first place, at least in this instance. Especially when they preach liberalism and openness, on a forum that's in the public domain, and especially when that particular thread is used to snipe at people elsewhere on the site. It's much less to do with respect and much more to do with undermining something that's flagrantly stupid.
I agree it's the risk you take if you then post on such a thread. It's 'their' forum and all that shite. But it doesn't make them or their forum, or their threads, or their reasons for banning, any less stupid. The contention seems to me that they simultaneously preach liberalism while cordoning off sections of their site for specific people. You have to admit that's more than a little hypocritical. If that were me, upon seeing a thread intended for only certain people, I'd say fuck any respect they think they deserve and post purely out of principle alone.
