OK, but may I suggest that you misinterpret some of these comments and


falsely judge those who made them? If one finds Hillary unqualified to be President because of her dishonesty or thinks her voice is shrill when she raises it, that doesn't necessarily make him a sexist. If one takes exception to BLM making highly offensive chants or interrupting and suspending other's political events by physically taking over the podium and shouting them down, it doesn't make him a racist. If one finds it objectionable for a biological male to share a locker room with females, that doesn't mean he hates the entire LGBT community. Those are judgmental conclusions you have made apparently based on your frame of reference.

Let me give you a recent specific example. I started the attached thread for the sole purpose of discussing why the MSM chose to highlight the tragedy of a gorilla getting shot in a zoo and provided virtually no coverage to 69 people getting shot in one city over one weekend, a number which even you must admit is extraordinary. You responded by somehow observing that a was linking a primate to the deaths of black people in Chicago, a gross cognitive distortion. Then you accused me of digging for news specifically targeting the city of Chicago when it was unlikely I should have access to a local story and sarcastically mocked any concern I may have for the actual victims. The irony of your lack of concern for gun control in that case did not go unnoticed.

FWIW, I never take your quips about my sexual preference seriously and find them somewhat amusing (as you may observe, I can be juvenile with the best of them).

That said, I thank you for the apology and recognize that RQ is a persona you portray here which may not represent who you are or how you treat others in real life. I admit that I'm guilty of using the Box to express my frustrations and come across much harsher than I should. No doubt, each of us has personal prejudices on which we should work. Peace bro.
