Oh, surprised. I take the gay movement viewpoint that when a person becomes a frank persecutor, they shed their right to protection.

However, as Edited said under his nick 'Mark Twain,' "Customs do not concern themselves with right or wrong or reason. But they have to be obeyed; one reasons all around them until he is tired, but he must not transgress them, it is sternly forbidden."

Thus I shall comply henceforth.

As Edited (aka George Eliot) said in (pronoun edited ) novel The Mill on the Floss, "If I got places, sir, it was because I made myself fit for 'em. If you want to slip into a round hole, you must make a ball of yourself; that's where it is."
