Golly Gee Whiz! Do you really think those gay young men were not heterosexuals? Queer how words and cliche's have changed over the years. A faggot of books with odd, but proper usages doesn't amount to a poof of a reason. Someone must be light in the loafers to suggest such a thing.

Giggle. I'm reading a biography of Alan Turing right now... To a certain crowd those words have meant the same thing for well over a hundred years, it's only in the past twenty or thirty that society in general has let enough light shine on the underground that they've gotten to mainstream usage.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
