blicero's sexuality

[jbor]

Terrance, I have nothing against you personally, but you really need to stop
screaming at other participants, calling them names, threatening to leave
the list (if you're going to do it, just do it!), disrupting conversations
between real people with silly comments from fake email addresses and
personas, and accusing people you disagree with of all sorts of things which
aren't even slightly true.

By all means take your personal problems with individuals, and your petty
bickering and bitching, OFFLIST.

You posted a paragraph from Eddins where his opposition of what is "natural"
against what isn't "natural" is clearly stated. It's an opposition which
underpins his entire argument throughout his study.

Here's what I wrote, and asked:

What "competing sexual order" is Blicero attempting to "found"????
