Gay saturation.

BTW Louisa... I knew you wouldn't stay away forever, but two weeks? Where's your willpower?

[Loz]

To be fair, Jeremy, I gave her 48 hours.

[aquarius moon]

I'm glad she's staying in The Lounge.

We appreciate her here :)

Tarot. I have two kids of my own and I regularly treat youngsters as part of my profession. There is nothing YOU can teach me about child psychology.

Did I miss something, when as an undergraduate, I read all that research into sexuality and prenatal hormonal chemistry? And what about all the research into human neurobehavioral development?

Tarot, if you can find me just one credible research paper providing a link between exposure to gay characters in soaps and development of sexual orientation, then I promise to stop treating you like a muppet.

Jeremy I just couldn't resist, I was sat on my sun lounger sulking. And I knew deep down, admin wasn't prepared to budge. So I've come back with my bottle of Pinot between my legs, so to speak.

Louisa.

What an odd thing to say blah blah. I cannot think of many child psychologists who would engage with a poster like tarot in such a way esp to the extent of asking them to provide a credible research paper (which we all know is futile).

[Jeremy]

I don't think bb is claiming to be a child psychologist per se... just someone who knows a little bit about it.

[spark67]

By the way, if anyone is "turned" by gay characters in soaps, you'll receive a welcome pack, complete with gay agenda & card, also a nice gift box of herbal teas. (ps I saw a scene with Phil Mitchell seductively peeling off his overalls, and & nearly became straight)

[Blah Blah]

That's right Jeremy. I'm not going to say exactly what I do for a profession in a public forum. Why would I?

Not an odd thing to say at all numbers. Tarot is being deliberately obtuse and trying to avoid taking responsibility for his/ her comments. I don't have to be polite about that, esp as all prior posts that try to reason with Tarot have been so deliberately ignored.

lol@spark67 Phil Mitchell? Really? :D

[Seabag]

I think Blah Blah drives a bus

Probably the new no. 12

Trying to reason with a troll/Tarot is futile, they dont have that capacity

[Blah Blah]

lol. You need a qualification to drive a bus don't you? Alas I only have an ordinary driving licence.

Er...really? When someone on an internet forum makes claims that cannot be verified, "that there is nothing you can teach them about ...[insert brainy subject]", that seems a little more than someone saying they know a bit about it. Compounded by the implication that the subject at hand is part of their profession.

Anyway, there's NOTHING you can teach me about thermonuclear dynamics. Not that its anything to do with my work you understand.

[Blah Blah]

Point taken numbers, but I think most people would agree that someone starting a thread and then extending on their subject with comments like watershed and impact on children, better be able to back that up with hard evidence. In spite of being challenged on that point by me in several posts, Tarot has chosen to not only ignore it, but then further insults all of our intelligence by claiming to be a victim of heterophobia! He/ she further responds to me with a comment about not having children etc.

Anyone looking at the post you are now trying to pick apart (from me) and looking at the post I was replying to, in context, would be able to see why Tarot deserved the talking down he got.

If Tarot knew anything about sexuality and psychology, he/ she would never have made the comemment about watersheds in the first place.

[Tarot]

I am the only hetro in the village. L.O.L

You have all missed the point of the original post.

I make no excuses about anything, there is not one person this thread was aimed at but a question on the content of the t.v soaps.

Its you lot that got your knickers in a twist I HAVENT threatened anyone with being buried alive or run over by a gay car all disguised threats that true trolls make. By the way stop brow beating people to your way of thinking its not always about you.

[Blah Blah]

Hmm what point did we miss exactly. All those gay storylines before the watershed put children at risk according to you.

You are truly stupid Tarot

[Tarot]

I feel sorry for your kids if you have actually got any they wont be allowed to have an opinion with you or speak there mind. You will say and do things my way and not think for yourselves.You would be a control freak. They would be called stupid. sad that

[Tarot]

I might add that most of you would not mention your profession have,nt got one and I noticed most of you are probably at home all day doing sweet F.A

Whose paying for your servers.?

Hey Tarot

I think I first mentioned being buried alive because it's

the only story line I remember other than Nick Cotton and

dirty Den. :)

I think if you said you didn't like any sexual scenes before

the watershed (rather than just gay ones) you'd get some

support (I remember leaving the room as a teenager).

[edcam]

Poor old tarot. I don't imagine he has many friends.

[Jeremy]

Tarot, nobody's saying you shouldn't speak your mind. It just seems that you are unhappy because nobody agrees with you!

You're not the only hetero in the village... just the only homophobe.

[Blah Blah]

Agreed Jeremy.

Tarot's problem is that he doesn't have the intellect to engage in sensible debate. He's had plenty of opportunity to respond to opposition of his view, but has chosen not to, resorting to childish insults instead.

Haven't you worked out that trying to reason with someone with such views they started a thread about it is pointless?

Oh do forgive me, you're new here aren't you?
