Pronouncements about sexual predilections

[onlinebiker]

If an announcement about one's identity indicates that they'll not be treating people with respect and in a way that maintains other people's dignity, I'll assuredly have a problem with it.

Otherwise, have at the personal identity announcements, in my opinion.  The point @arewethereyet makes is valid, I believe; it may be informative where perspective is concerned.

I see it like nudity.
...

I am not offended by nudity. I have been to nude beaches and had a good time nude. It isn' t a problem because it is the NORM. You expect nude people at nude beaches.

I would not go to the hardware store nude - and would probably not be real comfortable if the old guy behind the counter dropped trou..... Why? Because it not expected or encouraged. In fact it' s illegal in most states.

It simply is not the appropriate place to run about naked.

I see introductions the same way. Some places are not appropriate for all forms of behavior or exchange of information.
