<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wayner, did it ever cross your mind that
perhaps Dale was simply acknowledging reality with his use of the moniker
"studly?" As an experienced and confident male, I am amused by your
pathetic conclusion that all men who possess the confidence with woman that you
evidently lack, are automatically in the closet. Woman are attracted to
confident, masculine men, Wayner. Do you fall, well, short?</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Verdana>Haggard is only one of many religious and political
figures, mostly Republican (for example, Spokane's last mayor), who
condemned homosexuality but were discovered to be active, if not ravenous
practitioners of such. Clear cases of reaction formation.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>To the point: Did not Haggard exhibit the signs of
reaction formation discussed in my post that you so kindly commented
upon? Did not Haggard's own admissions about his feelings and
behaviors reveal the truth? How are the signs shown by Tony, Farris,
Cultmaster Douglas Wilson, etc, all who <STRONG>rabidly</STRONG> proclaim
the same homophobia any different from the pre-exposure signs which
Haggard and his fellow hypocrites exhibited? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>When someone salivates, obsesses, and loudly
harangues over some other adults' private sexual behavior with other
adults, it argues that the salivator is having some real problems
themselves. Further, one would expect a libertarian to roundly condemn
such egregious, pathological forays into matters of personal choice and
freedom.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>3. If you or anybody want to debate
the morality of homosexuality, then I, and probably a lot others on this
list-serve, are completely willing to do so on the basis of observation
and reason, but not on the basis of unverifiable religious
superstition.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>4. You write: </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>"Does the fact that you are
so vehemently opposed to any type of religious doctrine mean that you harbor
messianic tendencies?"</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>False assumption. I am vehemently opposed to
superstition of all kinds including religious superstition and belief in the
supernatural as a basis upon which to make moral, social, or political
decisions. However, many religious ethical dicta (though not in such
unyielding firmness and specificity) can be supported by
non-superstitious/non-supernatural observations and reasons in many
cases. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>For your libertarian enjoyment, perhaps you might read
<EM>The Leviathan</EM> <A
href="http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/hobbes/leviathan-contents.html">http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/hobbes/leviathan-contents.html</A>,
by Thomas Hobbes who was basically a nonbeliever (and the founder of modern
libertarianism), as an example of a purely secular defense/explanation of many
western moral beliefs. As a further example, there is a lot
of empirical validity to Buddha's description of daily human life -- a
description which led him to propose an ethic similar to the Greek Stoics
(another group containing nonbelievers/anti-superstitionists). [There is a
continuing debate over whether Buddha himself was a believer in the modern
sense of the term.]</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Since your premise was false, there is no need to
discuss your conclusion. Nice try though.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>5. Speaking of reaction
formation: What would think of a hypothetical man's sexual identity and
masculinity issues, a man who would not only rabidly espouse homophobia,
but would resort to an utterly ridiculous comb-over, and who would make
himself the laughing-stock of some of his hypothetical GPS caching group by
hypothetically naming himself "Studly" in the group? Does this not
remind you of the braggarts about their sexual exploits and fertility whose
wives and girlfriends frequently leave them for poor or non-performance, or
compensate for their lack of sexual prowess by having affairs with others more
skilled or take up needlepoint? Or which braggarts secretly
share Haggard's desires more strongly than their heterosexual
desires?</FONT></P>

(<I>plural</I> <B>reaction formations</B>): In psychoanalysis, a
defense mechanism in which somebody condemns something that has a strong,
driving unconscious appeal.</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>reaction formation</STRONG> is a <A title="Defense mechanism"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_mechanism">defense mechanism</A>
in which <A title=Anxiety
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anxiety">anxiety</A>-producing or
unacceptable <A title=Emotion
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion">emotions</A> are replaced by
their direct opposites. This mechanism is often characteristic of
obsessional neuroses. When this mechanism is overused, especially during the
formation of the ego, it can become a permanent character trait. This is
often in those with obsessional character and obsessive personality
disorders. This does not imply that its periodic usage is always
obsessional, but that it can lead to obsessional behavior.
<STRONG>Example:</STRONG> A man who is overly aroused by pornographic
material who utilizes reaction formation may take on an attitude of
criticism toward the topic.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

size=+2>-</FONT><FONT size=+2>F</FONT>ORMATION </FONT></STRONG>: <B><FONT
size=+1>The blocking of desire by its opposite</FONT></B>.
"Reaction-formation" is the term Freud uses to describe the mechanism
whereby the <A
href="http://www.cla.purdue.edu/English/theory/psychoanalysis/definitions/ego.html"
target=_self>ego</A> <I>reacts</I> to the impulses of the <A

target=_self><STRONG><FONT

desire by turning it into hatred for all homosexuals.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps you and Farris might confront and thus deal directly with your
personal demons discretely in private, rather than so
obviously exhibiting them in public. I am sure that everyone
would benefit, especially you and Farris: both your stultifying
repressions and secret frustrations could be at least partially
deadened. And after you have relived your tensions, perhaps you might
be able to pass on your personal experiences with the cure and your
newly found contacts to Cultmaster Douglas Wilson and his apparent
secret admirer Douglas Jones, both who appear to need such therapy
quite badly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your internally inconsistent post also reveals the grave doubts
you have about your masculinity and sexual identity when you have to resort
to posting outright lies. For example:</DIV>

<DIV>Included in this thread is a post by Saundra giving the URL to the
story from the <EM>Chicago Tribune</EM> which casts a very different light
on the story posted originally by the salivating, non-critical Farris.
Saundra investigated; you did not. It is one thing for you and the

<EM>agent provocateurs</EM>, but, in reality, quite another to so
clearly exhibit yourselves as sexually frustrated liars.</DIV>

Sue,<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> You might want to check out
this link to a story that was in the Chicago<BR>>>>>
Trib:<BR>>>>> </FONT><A href="http://tinyurl.com/2arte6"><FONT

surprisingly, the story is actually quite a bit different than
the<BR>>>>> drivel Doug Farris wants us to believe. Seems
to me the religious<BR>>>>> reactionaries need to get their
stories straight -- it's hard to make <BR>>>>>
the<BR>>>>> argument about the whole nonsense of some
confidentiality contract when<BR>>>>> everyone knows about the
event in advance and parents can opt to not <BR>>>>>
have<BR>>>>> their children participate. Notice, too, the
names & how Ellen Waltz,<BR>>>>> whose name appears in the
Trib, seems to be changing her story

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to
<BR>>>>> do<BR>>>>> nothing.<BR>>>>> -
