Re: [new forum] Gay / Lesbian Talk
I could pontificate on the problems with such a forum, but I don't really feel like it this evening.
I simply object to this forum unless they make me a forum for married, heterosexual, Christian white men.
Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? |

David and rockotman have a GREAT point here by the way:
Its going to be near impossible to keep a forum like that from causing a filter to block DSLR |

asian, black, hispanic, jewish, muslim, white,, republican ,democrat, war vets, military gays and lesbians who belong to dlsr... myself included.
And while its ok to have other non-technical forums suddenly its not ok for for LBGT one?? You know what if folks don't like the forum they don't have post or read it. And we could make it a private forum... ohhhh ahhhhh. To "protect us from trolling" which is a crock of horse hocky pucks.... because trolling happens everywhere....
I vote YES

It's obvious that people wanted some social forums here in the past.

Seriously though, i already explained my stance on that subject, Now that i have a voice, and that i have a chance to object, i will. Why look down on my opnion? 
And, since you made your post, Look at my post history, you can tell ive always objected to these social forums. Stop trying to paint me as some GLBT hating person for wanting to keep this forum BROADBAND related, you know, it is

They all know who I am it's not like I wonder far, usually I can be found in a few places.
• uverseusers.com
• utalk.att.com
• here in the direct forum or public at&t forums
• Yahoo (external e-mail box checking).
• consumerist.com (mainly report at&t articles there)
• Endgadget
• GigOM
That's about it, I try to stay in one spot. I figure I can be an easier target that way. Also hey guys, before posting the review about the horrid experience, hit me up! After all If I can't get to it right away I can as least get you help in that direction to get you started!
