No-one here has said you can't air your opinion, they've just told why your opinion doesn't really hold water and questioned why you have brought all of these issues about homosexuality into what is, as I said, a thread about a dude kissing another dude and nothing more than that. I still don't know why you have done that - and saying that you were waiting for some imaginary "PC mob" to get on your case doesn't really wash either so I wouldn't bother with any of that. I could equally say: funny how any thread about anything at all to do with anything even the slightest bit gay results in someone coming along to post how much gay sex (between men, usually) disgusts them, isn't it? |

To get back on topic: I saw the kiss as a token of affection and respect. I think he just wanted to say: So long, nice knowing you - to both Rose and the Doctor. |

RTD may well have been trying to be provocative. But in the context of the story, a mark of respect is all this kiss was and that's the way I see it, seeing as I don't find kisses between adults of the opposite sex or GOSH even the same sex particularly outrageous.

Its fine having an awful lot to say,but it seems a bit extreme that you have both the time and the inclination to post over 1100 times on a single subject within one month.
Incredible. I bet you are a long standing member of DWAS aswell(are they still going?) |

My long list of equipment is a simple list of what goes into making a decent home cinema system,and also to clarify when giving advice about equipment that I can speak from experience of having actually used the gear in question.
No deficiencies elsewhere that I know of. |

John,your PM you just sent me sounded like a veiled threat.
How are my opinions going to land me in trouble personally? Am I not allowed to have opinions? |

You must be confusing me with someone who cares about other peoples opinions of me.
Bullish and arrogant.Thanks for that. I can't see why opinions are idiotic simply because they differ from yours. Hitler had the same idea about different opinions |

btw, check the number of posts on this one thread in the last hour and you'll realise how a 19 hour day at the PC can result in 1100+ posts in a month...when you're using a skill for one thing, it's very easy to divert it

Isn't 19 hours a day on the PC overdoing it a bit?

Oh - and personally, I saw the CJ/Doctor and CJ/Rose kisses simply as someone saying goodbye to the people he loves (family, as a f'rinstance), why read more into it than that? |
