..”well I guess I can put up with you guys for a couple days”
heh heh… God bless her! I love people like that (in controlled doses, of course.) :0)
Poor Nico has been slammed a lot this week for simply stating his opinions… ironically from people who “scream about their free speech rights” and tell people not to come back if they don’t like what they read. (don’t get me started)
Nico’s a romantic. He loves his girlfriend very much, and he’d never *betray* her by posting anything intimate.
I have to agree, sometimes people put out waaaay too much information, it crosses certain people’s comfort zones. One of the very first weblogs I got into was a *very* flamboyantly gay gentleman from London. Fine and good, but he was too much for me, I eventually stopped reading him. Even heteros that don’t respect their partners enough kind of turn me off…
I know, I know… look who’s talking, as I flirt with someone and get zinged with emails by people politely reminding me that I am (unfortunately) still married. :0)
whatever goes on between 2 consenting adults (or heck more if thats your style) is fine with me, I know how to hit ‘back’ or close a browser if I don’t want to read it. but there is that point I think that some people cross where its totally disrespecting the one your with..I wouldn’t want my partner revealing our intimate details on her blog and I don’t think she would appriciate it if I did either.
and now to really stick my foot in it..what buisness of theres is it if your still married? I’m assuming here that your wife is aware of whats going on? if so tell em to stfu and butt out
Of course she knows. Depending on what time of the month you catch her, she doesn’t have a problem with it. I also don’t *hide* the fact that I’m married. It just irks me, because I’m a flirt, not a cheat… major difference. To me, it’s all the same as the various pranks and clowning around that I do with *all* of my friends.
Believe, if I wanted to cheat… I have plenty of opportunities IRL. But I don’t.
Then there’s people with issues. Folks that things strike a chord with something that screwed them up in life. (For example, their husband’s a cheating dog IRL… so let’s hit me with a virtual frying pan instead. Or recently a woman couldn’t get a guy convicted for shooting her cats, so let’s go after me because of my “animal abuse” adventure from last summer.)
It really doesn’t bother me, though. I have a relatively thick skin…Sometimes you gotta “consider the source” of where it comes from, and why.
In Nico’s case, I saw him slammed when he questioned gay people in America, and their need to have parades and to boldly announce their pride.
It’s different in Europe. They’re more open about a *lot* of things, and their far more tolerant of various lifestyles. But some people who feel the need to be a spokesperson, picked up a few select words and attacked him.
Like you said: “Internet is a wonderful diverse place where we can all learn from each other.”, and like he said: “The idea is to exchange ideas, not to hurt each other.”
I’ve found Nico amazing because he writes in English, I’ve seen him write to another person in German… neither of these languages are his native tongue. I read what he’s trying to say, not the words that come out (if that makes any sense?). Maybe the way it’s translating to some is what bothers them. The semantics. I don’t know. I’ve always thought the guy was a sweetheart, and I’m proud to have him as a friend.
I’ve been sitting here for 20 minutes wondering if I should post this anonymously. There’s trouble either way. Doing it this way could cause some people pain with what I’m going to say. Posting anonymously, however, would not allow me the benefit of knowing that you’re sitting there in your chair suffering a short, but extremely intense fit of anxiety, which, sad to say, is quite enjoyable for me, even though I’m not going to say anything mean in this post. Okay… I totally agree with everything you said here.
I have someone on a webring who posts very intimate details about her sexual escapades and I can’t even read them. I didn’t know why until I read your post, Teresa, but I realize now it’s because of her partner. Certainly the writer has no qualms about sharing these intimate details with potentially thousands of readers, but knowing her partner the way I do, I just can’t wrap my head around Her accepting it.
The other thing that bothers me about it is that with as much misinformation on the Internet about BDSM (which is the subject, in this case), I think that information provided this way only hastens to confuse people further, or worse, turn them off it completely.
And in regards to the militant lesbian spouting freedom of speech, equal rights and all that other dykespace stuff, I’ve had my own run-in with her, as you probably already know, and I see that poor Nico is continually being challenged by her with his often highly charged views. And I say, “Hats off to both of them.” Nothing would ever be said and nothing would ever get done without either of them in the world.
And hi to both of you.
I like to read personal stuff. I don’t mind it if people write about sex. It’s the way they write about it, the way that separate xxx rated pages from the rest. I wrote about people who use lot of blogspace to describe their clitoris or how they use a dildo or mastrubate, when the same persons also use their blogspace to protest against porn and call themselves feminists it gets rather confusing. Anyway, it’s not a homosexual phenomen, neither have I said it is. I’ve never tried to start any flame war, I’m not trying to argue with anyone. This doesn’t mean I can’t argue. When someone write a lot of bullshit addressed to me by name, I really think it’s my right to bring it up with the person. When the person choose to continue the bullshit, it goes as it goes.
And Eric, I’m deeply touched over your comments here, someone mail me a kleenex or something.
*handing Nico a kleenex*
*wonders just what effect this eclipse today is having on people*
first off..hi to you to Tracy.
second..”Of course she knows.” then like I said, tell them to butt out.
third..I agree, Nico is an amazing person,(I did understand what you were saying..I think) I always enjoy my visits to his site and end up learning something each time..his ‘questioning gays in america’ I simply took as someone not from this country trying to understand it, and I’m still confused why that person took it the way she did.
fourth..yes I know of the “run in” of which you speak, and while I have my own views on it I agree with you to (yes folks, you did read that right) that “Nothing would ever be said and nothing would ever get done without either of them in the world.” I would only add or people like them, but I think that part goes without saying.
fifth..”It’s the way they write about it” nailed it exactly! and I agree with you 100% on that Nico, not to mention I don’t agree with addressing someone by name in a post like that when I don’t belive the way it was taken and addressed was the way it was intended. I always enjoy your views, keep it up!
*thinks if I keep this up I’ll have written another post in my dang comments*
You people are too nice. You people destroy my macho steelman image. Stop it and hand me more kleenex you fools! =o)
*handing Nico the box of kleenex*
nice? now your trying to destroy my carefully crafted “bitch from hell” image!
Aw shit.
Nico wasn’t supposed to see any of that mushy stuff about him. Oh well… :0)
“Nothing would ever be said and nothing would ever get done without either of them in the world.”
Amen, Tracy. I gave up on weblogs a few years ago, because the ones I read were all about the details of some very mundane lives. It’s a new generation now… and the web is *electrified* with a lot of new ideas, thinking and opinions. Whether I agree with them, or not, is one thing… but if you can manage to keep your mind open (for just a little while) you just may learn something.
I, personally, am very grateful to the Brooke’s and Nico’s (and the Red Eagle’s, and the Tracy’s, and the Faith’s, and the Kare’s, and the Lee’s, et cetera…) of the world.
Life has become “interesting” again. :0)
should have warned you he comes here to *G*
I’m very grateful to them also..and also to the BlueWolf’s and WebGod’s who alternatly make me laugh, cry and always walk away feeling like I’ve learned something.
