Just when you think it can't get any goofier

[4th law of robotics]

44. I would think most DUers have normal and healthy attitudes towards sex

and male/female relationships. They don't see any physical contact between the two as "gross" nor do they consider all men "pre-rapists". Yes, I am using those quote marks legitimately.

I suspect the same thing plays out on the right: most are pretty normal in this regard but they have their radical fundies that they mostly ignore. Often they are allies. But occasionally the fundies come out and say something bizarre, like all sex out of marriage is abomination and all men are wild beasts unable to control their sexual urges, and the rest just sort of stare at them in disbelief.


"Were we really harboring and allying with such nutjobs?"


Hence the need for a safe-haven that is mostly ignored by the rest. If they had to fend for themselves in the main forums they'd take an ideological beating every time they hit post. (which explains the incredibly low threshold for banning people on some forums).
