Today has been a little disappointing for me. I was looking forward to logging onto sciforums and telling Xev how much of a homosexual I think she is. I was all poised to achieve this goal when I noticed a caustic little thread called "site rules", in the general philosophy forum. In this I found out that any posts derogatory or gratuitous in nature will be deleted. This piqued at me greatly, since the post I was planning was both derogatory and gratuitous. What was I to do? Not make a thread about Xev being a homosexual, that's for sure. Instead, I'm making this thread, that is entirely within the purpose and etiquette of this forum, containing some "general thoughts". Here they are: I, as a proud member of sci forums, and one that respects its rules greatly, think Xev is a homosexual. I don't believe this to be a breach of site rules for the following reasons:

1) "Homosexual" is not derogatory. It is the technical term for a gay person. We are all progressive, modern and tolerant in this forum, and so we know that the days of persecuting different or alternative groups is way behind us. Sure, I *could* be using the word in a derogatory manner, but you would not have any proof that I am, for I am the only one who knows that. On the evidence you have, the only thing you can rationally conclude is that I am stating an unemotive opinion.

2) This thread is not gratuitous. I have brought up numerous themes in this post that are worthy of philosophical inquiry, such as the battle between free will and authority, the political assumptions that are often inherent in semantics.

So there it is. I think Xev is a homosexual. Not only a homosexual, but a massive one at that.
 
"thinking"... see this is what I had hoped for..a nice mindfulf discussion. I think, Xev is a girl. Though you probably could have picked this up from the great amount I reffered to her as "she" in my above post.
 
hahahaha...yeah..um..i didn't read it:eek:


Now could you provide some arguments for why do you think she is a homosexual. You have stated your claim and now present the facts for the rest of us to judge.

I don't think she is but then again i am waiting for your arguments to decide.


***By the way chances are this thread will close***
 
I would call this exeptionally brilliant, baring your fangs diplomatically. Kudos to you, bohemian.

Though where our freind Xev here is concerend the word homosexual doesnt readily come to mind as does pastiche, dilettante, informed generalist or virago so much easily does.

It's not so much the genitals or gender than it is the hot gas that's so unpleasant about about him/her/cosa.

Well I think she is a homosexual (in the most underogatory sense of the word) because she has that distinctive homo aura. I have no sophisticated argument, a have something better; instincts that a never wrong. I don't believe this thread should be closed. That would deny people the chance to take part in the intelligent discussion about free will and authority, as well as semantic themes that exist in this thread.
 
....how's about a hodgepodge of borrowed knowledge, a small pedant with the tatters of great thinkers' mantles twirled about her neck like a stole...................

Thanks for the kind words, gen.

I usually don't make deragatory comments on other peoples characte, (that would be a blatant breach of site rules), but since you mention it, I think Xev is all of those things too.
 
<i>I think Xev is a homosexual. Not only a homosexual, but a massive one at that.</i>

Oh dear. You were doing so well until that last sentence.

You see, you are either a homosexual or you are not. There are no degrees of homosexuality. Therefore, you have to question why you want to try to qualify the word "homosexual" with the word "massive".

What could "massive" imply? That Xev is very heavy? I don't think so.

Given the context, I think that this is intended to be a perjorative. If I moderated this forum, I would probably have to delete the thread for breach of the site rules. In particularly, you will notice that the rules state:

"You will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, <b>sexually-orientated</b>, hateful, or threatening."

Also:

"If you are here to flame, you should leave now. We do not consider an "intense" discussion of a topic "flaming" unless it shifts to member on member conflict. If a thread or post results in flaming, it will be closed or removed."

Oh well...

It'll miss the mark if it is, she's not likely to be offended by this and will probably be entertained by the speculation.

Personally, I bet she swings both ways.

Now could you provide some arguments for why do you think she is a homosexual. You have stated your claim and now present the facts for the rest of us to judge.

Why don't you just ask her?
 
Says James:

"..... If I moderated this forum, I would probably have to delete the thread for breach of the site rules. In particularly, you will notice that the rules state:

No James, sexually oriented I take to mean a post that's sexually explicit, or a poster who makes too much use of his or her sex organs or sex practices specifically towards other users. I myself should know, as evidenced by the many posts of mine deleted where my privates were involved.
 
....And something tells me this xev is one of those gratuitously dressed in black come hell or high water......relish in being different.....you know
 
Xev

While we're on the subject...

Since the first post I read of her's, I imagined that Xev wears short black hair and is British. I'm not sure, though. But I'm sure she doesn't smile much, but when she does, she does.
 
Voodoo Child:

Whether the post is intended to be insulting, and whether Xev is actually insulted or not are two completely separate issues.
 
By the way James, you would be right about the sexual content clause if the stipulations had been about sexual orientation not "sexually oriented".

Ah. You were doing so well until you opened your mouth. There are no degrees of homosexuality? This is just nonsense! You just must look at your typical homo and compare him with a rampant flamer such as Elton John and you have evidence of "the varying degrees" of homosexuality. Take my friend bobby, for example. He is bisexual l He likes the opposite sex mostly, but occasionally he likes to "put from the rough" as they say. This makes him partially homo.. you might say he's got "partial homo inclinations"..but hou wouldn't call him a full blown homo. Now take my other friend, Sean who is sincerely the gayest human on the earth. He likes Martha Stewart and attends cake-decorating class for god’s sakes. So clearly one can be more homo than another. Me for example am not homo at all. Strictly sexually speaking (discluding all the obvious intellectual advantages men have over women), men do nothing for me at all. I would probably be more attracted to a fence post than a man. I'm not sure how we would go about scientifically quantifying the amount of homo that that one has.. I suspect it's somthing to do with the amoun of estrogen one has. Regardless this is a very simple concept. This piece of corrective logic was bought to you today by the letter Q.
 
from what ive put together she's in a long term realtionship that ive always assumed to be hetro. not to mention her numerous infatuations with several male philosophers she's commented on wanting to sleep with. also i bleieve her hair is red, not black, though id guess it shorter too, and she's not british, she's from michigan.

gendarken: i don't see xev as being one who spends the time dressing up as this or that. honestly, i picture he more worried more about how much vodka is left than what she will wear to the store to buy more.

Denial and repression.

The fact that she acknowledges the superiority of the male mind merely tells us that she is not obtuse.


Gen, I wholeheartedly agree with every comment you make. If I were a homo, I would be totally aroused. You have such online charisma.
