What is it about rasfc that provokes people into saying idiotic things about the LGBT community? Is there some sort of stupidity projector inhabiting that newsgroup that turns people who otherwise appear to be not damned fools into drooling incompetents with neither a sense of empathy nor sufficient imagination (as writers!) to comprehend ordinary humans?

Exhibit umpteen, which I found when I cycled usenet in the hopes of finding something that would break my vague state of useless depression:

Personally, it would be cool if bisexuals didn't exist. They're confusing to heterosexual people like me, and also to homosexuals. And I imagine some of the bisexuals themselves are frustrated because they (some of them) want monogamy but can't decide what one sex they want to be monogamous with.

... what ... does one say? (Aside from, maybe, "How fortunate I am to not be a heterosexual person like you.")

And of course if I say half of what's in my head I'll be That Angry Queer again, never mind that I'm straight. But I know I'm pigeonholed from the last umpty-lump times someone said something that head-asplodingly blockheaded.


Also:

Whitney works on an LJ post about it, runs out of easily bringable-to-mind synonyms for 'stupid'.
Brooks [brooksmoses] says, "I have a 1950s slang dictionary."
Whitney says, "... please share."

My new saying for that sort of shit comes from AmazonFail, wherein one of the EPU guys found a Joseph Nicolosi book on Amazon tagged with this work of genius:

"a load of dingoes' kidneys"

So. What a load of dingoes' kidneys that poster's come up with there.

It's a Douglas Adams quote, you know. ;)

That would be a load of fetid dingoes' kidneys. :P

It's both. Ford Prefect certainly uses 'foetid', but in the Guide's Babelfish entry, it's "Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingoes kidneys but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune..." (emphasis mine).

I note that I am not a heterosexual person like the one quoted. Thank goodness. I am an entirely different sort of heterosexual person who is unconfused by the bisexuality of most of his friends.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Me too. I really feel more in common with non-heterosexual people than with the type of heterosexual people who would say crap like this. :)

Canonically, that's a fetid load of dingoes' kidneys; it's from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

It must be very sad to be the original rasfc poster, and possessed of intellectual attainments incapable of extending their taxonomy system to encompass the tiny fraction of the observed world that is human social interaction.
