This constant bickering is disastrous. Too many people are saying too much and too many people are saying too little. This Message Board means a lot to me and I'm damned if I'm going to let it be hijacked. I need it. I want it.

Marc, if this is not a place where people can share their joys and pains, hopes and fears, to be a surrogate family or group of friends - then what can be its purpose? Even if there is more than just a pinch of truth in them, your words were rude and insulting, and we all deserve an apology from you. I don't disagree with what you wanted to say, but I vehemently protest the unthinking way you chose to say it. Words can hurt, and your words did hurt. Correction is better offered gently and with love.

Lenny, Kevin, I can't take much more of this. Stop threatening to leave my family every time a brother says something he shouldn't have said (or doesn't say something he should have said). This is a virtual family: Lenny, I can't help you if you are not here. Kevin, I can't love you if you are not here.

I suspect that what I have written here reflects the feelings of the majority of people on this Message Board (including the silent lurkers, for whom it exists just as much as for the verbose, the pompous, the scared, the insulting, the insulted, the cute, the lovable...)

If it does reflect that majority view I hope that
NO ONE will respond to this message. Let's just assume that Marc has apologised, let's just assume that Lenny and Kevin are still with us. Let's just assume that I have said nothing - and let's get back on track. (If you must react to my words please do so
offline.)

We are a step away from disaster. Now is the time for EVERBODY to pull back from the edge. Silence is golden. Do not destroy this Message Board. Please. I beg of you.

Someone, please, start another thread and let's put all this behind us.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
