I got beat up on (though I expected it, to be honest) because the tone of it offended me.
The, "If you really loved me, you'd do it," nature of it pissed me off.
That someone who is adamantly against any form of coercion in male/female relations was posting this irked me.
That my pointing out the passive/aggerssive nature of the thing; the insulting assumption that one must do this, or be known by all who know you saw the thing to be non-supportive of gays (no matter what else one might have said, done, and supported), was dismissed as being oversensitive, the actions of a wanker, the thinking of a child, or a lack of moral purity, well that was what I expected.
Thanks, but I am not incosolate. It was, even in that venue, what I expected. Had any of them been clever, on point, or even well reasoned, it might have stung, but I've got pretty thick skin.
None of them threatened to kill me, so it's not a big deal.
But yeah, I was suprised that no one else seemed to think it offensive.
It seems they think such tactics are all right, if the cause is just (which is one of the oddities of one of the people who disagreed with me. She is a "purer than thee" type, who sees all in a prism of what should have been (and so fails to have as much impact on what could be) and would, I think, be willing to do horrible things, in the name of "right" though such behaviours are what she decries in the past.
Well, I'm sure you weren't wounded by an annoying LJ argument, but sometimes I know I get down just by virtue of the fact it seems necessary for the discussion to be taking place.
