@vivify saidWell, Suzianne is entitled to her beliefs regarding homosexuality. The 38% of Christians in the U.S. [who don't think it should be accepted] aren't going to be affected, I think, by people like her calling Eladar "disgusting" and not an "intelligent human". If her objective was, however, just to let off some Trumpian steam, then: mission accomplished.
I think Suzianne is closer to this goal, given her rejection of fundamentalist right-wing beliefs, than Eladar.

Here is an objective fact about Christians and homosexuality in the U.S.

@vivify saidNice try, but as you've ascertained, this well, known herein as "FMF", is dry.
It all depends on how you arrived at your conclusion: was it because you thought about it logically or was it because you were raised to believe in ancient, fundamentalist beliefs?
Yes, all judgements are shaped by personal experiences. But as long as we keep striving for objectivity, being aware of our biases and continually making efforts to overcome them, that's all I c ...[text shortened]... ianne is closer to this goal, given her rejection of fundamentalist right-wing beliefs, than Eladar.
@suzianne saidI have read tens of thousands of your posts. That's more than a "glimpse". You have been questioning my motives and commenting on my character for ten years - based on my posts, presumably.

@ogb saidThere are close to a hundred players whose RHP names begin with 'Robin'. I'll guess that the three Robin Hoods are all guys. Whatabout all the others? Is 'Robin' always clear as to gender? Does it matter if it's not clear?
are there players on this website who have female names but are really guys ??
