Re: Re: Something I've noticed: A Mad-Hamlet Rant

["Bill Gopher" <asagiri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maria,
I've been following this rather interesting thread and being as I've got time I guess it's my turn to add my 2 dinars to this.
MH is *many* things, but being sensetive to your feelings *ain't* one of them. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying MH is EVIL or nasty or cruel, he's just rather blunt *and* that's just how he is. Blunt, straight-forward and ready to cut through the BS to get straight to the heart of things irregardless of your personal sensetivities. And while sometimes it's easy to be a little put off, he's always honest and clear about his thoughts, no prevaricating or heming and hawing when he tells you what he thinks. 

But you did start this to begin with by saying ..."..please don't write about it cause it's not real and sometimes it's i don't know so out of the point you know?!..." and then compounding it by saying later, "Well my messagewas cut out!!! and i said that people who haven't experienced or KNOW about this kind of sex, just don't write cause sometimes it's not real and offensive."  

How else are people supposed to take comments such as those as being "if you're not gay or have not experienced lesbian sex don't write about it!" That *is* what you said Maria, you just didn't use those *exact* words. It maynot have been what you meant, but that is how it came across to me.

Finally, I've read lots of B/W stories and it's not the sex (whether it's NC-17 or PG) that makes a story truly great or enjoyable, but the ability ofthe writer to get the story and the char's emotions across to me.

Once again, i didn't say you have to be a lesbian to write about it,

saying anything to you or your penis! so...i can't see why the h*** 
you are so mad! ....if SUPPOSEDLY you don't care!...
Bye...love!
