    ³ then let me add my two cents: i picked up on it simply as a mannerism (a
    ³ "typing quirk" so to speak if you're of the persuasion of a particular
    ³ webcomic) and wasn't bothered about it at all. if we're going to complain
    ³ about what others on fsxnet are saying i'd much rather complain about the
    ³ queerphobia i've experienced in my very first week here!

    There have not been that many posts on fsxnet lately and I have not noticed
    any "phobic" posts about anything.

    Most of us probably had no idea you might be queer until you just mentioned
    it yourself.

    Are you sure you didn't encounter it in some other echo from another
    network?

    Which has nothing to do with them being queer.

    the reading comprehension here pisses on the poor worse than on tumblr

    i never said mary was queer

    i said that if we're going to start complaining about how people are talking
    in fsxnet, then i want to complain about the queerphobia *I* have seen here

    if you can't parse that sentence, i got nothing more to say

    I can parse the sentence fine.

    One of the supposed phobic instances you mentioned I did not see. The
    other one was some people pointing out how entertainment media sometimes over-represents the community vs. its percentage of the actual population. Nothing phobic there, either, just someone's observation.

    If you cannot parse sentences without finding some "phobia" to be upset about, maybe your "sentence parsing" complaint is an example of you projecting your own shortcomings onto others.

    There are some videos on youtube (or another outlet?) where a lady drives
    a ride-share and she also suffers from Turette's and/or coprolalia. She posts some of the customer reactions she gets during her outbursts.

    Most of them are usually understanding. One features a man who starts
    cursing with her. Turns out he has the same affliction. They get so
    tickled at each other they cannot stop their outbursts.

    While they are sometimes comical, it is also nice to watch them and see how many people are actually sympathetic towards her.
