<p>I dont think johnny meant anything by it. Youre judging his
words without hearing his subtext. Yes, I get upset when people
say 'thats gay' because Im queer spawn, but i have never
corrected anyone on it because I knew they werent really
serious, just ignorant and ignorance is suffering, so reacting
to ignorance is reacting tp suffering.</p>

thanks Nicholas, but i don't feel i'm either ignorant or suffering.
If anyone chooses to consider my use of the word "rape" as a
tongue-in-cheek metaphor to be an expression of insensitivity toward
women's suffering, then you're mistaken. My sister was raped once,
and she still suffers from it. That's one reason i have done
volunteer work for Women Against Rape. <br>
<br>
i consider Freedom of Speech to be a fundamental right, and i will
exercise that right. <br>
<br>
however, Noisebridge does have it's own rules. Therefor, Jeffery
Carl, i encourage you to propose that johny radio be banned from
noisebridge for using the word "rape" as a metaphor. If i am asked
to leave noisebridge, i shall comply without argument. <br>
