I have a confession to make to all my DU friends.

[leftofthedial]

First, know that I am deeply, sincerely regretful for any pain this might cause any of you. But the truth must come out eventually. I simply can't live with the shame any longer. I truly appreciate the trust and friendship that so many of you have shown me over the years, but the fact is that I am the worst nightmare of many DUers. I am a creature so foul, so evil, so worthy of being loathed and reviled here that my continued presence is inexplicable, even to myself. I should be castigated, excoriated, shunned if need be, and treated like the vile enemy "Other" that I have been--that I am. I am terribly sorry for any pain this causes you, but I just have to come clean.

I am a straight white male--a *middle aged* straight white male.

God, it makes me sick just to read the horrible, damning, damnable words! I understand if you want to call me names or if you never want to talk to me again. I am so, so sorry.

How can anyone in good conscience knowingly associate with a straight white male?

[leftofthedial]

10. other than my bowling team

I don't know who would.




The horror just never stops. I'm --SOB!-- not even on a bowling team. :cry:

[taterguy]

12. Bowling symbolizes oppression

Those poor pins sit there helpless
Then The Man knocks them down

As soon as they've recovered
The Man does it again

[leftofthedial]

Oh, wait, forehead. Never mind.

[leftofthedial]

15. suffering is why we're put on this earth

and why I'v ebeen put on DU

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

16. Shit. You really managed to hide it well.

Personally, I came out a long time ago. It's what I am, and I'm okay with it.

I think you'll discover it's not nearly as bad as you think. People are pretty accepting of our kind, in the long run.

Just give 'em time.

[leftofthedial]

17. maybe we need our own forum

23. a quote from National Lampoon's "Lemmings".

"If you're not a black, lesbian, working woman, you're an OPPRESSOR, PIG! You deserve to Die!"

[HughBeaumont]

24. Ye must be bounty hunted by Bruiser Brody.

I mean, the "middle aged" is bad enough. But straight AND white? That's . . . damn, I wouldn't even admit to that.
