I hate farewell/ban me threads but I agree with some points:
Agree. The straight-acting obsession and anti-fem/trans threads are tiresome.

>>>Agree. newboy12 threads come to mind...
Newboy didn't whine about not getting straight guys. He explained how he actually got them.
>>>the OP is whining about whiners.
Which he pointed out at the end of his post. He was there long before you.
>>>The thing that struck me the most is that the OP is incredibly insenstive—not a guy you would want to know, anyway.
I do my best to get past the attitude and get to the point being made. I'm not great at that - I fail far more often than I succeed. The few times I do succeed, I'm oft surprised how often the guy IS someone I would want to know.

If the people who replied with "Goodbye", "Whine-whine-whine" etc. actually read the OP (pulled their head out of their arse and then looked a bit closer to home), he/she would realise that the OP was talking about them.
Arseholes.

Yes, there are things that we all as gay men go through at one time or another. Sort of like gay 'teething' so to speak, but what the OP was railing against was the insipid bullshit that gets posted day in and day out about the most idiotic things imaginable. Like "how do you convert a straight guy?" and "my best straight friend is giving me mixed signals should I go for it?" ad nauseum.
Those who suffer from clinical depression do not fit into what the OP was talking about either. The emo whiners (and they know who they are) come to JUB to moan to get their daily ego stroking, which necessitates more whining to get more stroking, and the cycle goes on and on and on...
DING. You hit the nail on the head. Bravo.

>>>The truth of the matter is that many gays on this board are going through stages that we have all been through at one time or another. I think it more prudent—and more compassionate— to offer a helping hand rather than sock a guy in the jaw and say,"Quit yer bitchin'".
Oh, agreed. And that's most often the tactic I take. But as you no doubt know, not everyone responds the same to things. Someone jokingly called me "good cop" and Jasun (SB) "bad cop", and whereas that delinates things a bit too cleanly, there's some truth there. I tend to go along the "let's discuss this" route, and Jasun tends to do the "grow a pair" route. And the funny thing is - there's no real telling which technique will work. In fact, it's about even money whether the OP will respond more favorably to my advice or Jasun's. (To be honest, it's actually tilted somewhat in Jasun's favor.)

Re: Farewall, jubbers (Please ban me after this po
Ditto.
Mostly good points and advice, all around.
The reactions posted by many JUB guys seem to bear out his observations. A lot of pissy, thin skinned whiners that seem to only want to be with like minded people and not take an inward look occasionally.

Most of his points are pretty good to me.
People should take in the positives of his post.

Despite what the OP thinks of us all, there are a number of JUBbers who make JUB worthwhile.

Re: Farewall, jubbers (Please ban me after this po
A lot of people seem to have taken the original poster's rant rather personally. He's entitled to a rant, just as much as you're all entitled to tell him to watch his back on the way out. I do find it interesting, though, that all the people who responded like that were more or less just emulating his high dudgeon, stomp-off-into-the-sunset attitude.
We're all entitled to vent our frustration. Life can be frustrating and, let's face it, we're all far from perfect. After a while, it does get tiring reading the same old crap over and over again. Someone made the comment that it may have been more useful if the poster had actively engaged in fruitful discussion rather than lurking and then stomping of in a fit of peek. The thing is, there comes a point when you've seen the same discussions again and again and again that it just feels like a waste of time. Hence stroppy attitude, I'm thinking.
The difference here, in my opinion, is that the poster actually had a lot of worthwhile things to say. Maybe they weren't new, maybe they'd been said before, but I don't think it would hurt anyone to hear them again and reflect on them. It's a shame so many noses got put out of joint.
