please edit thoughtless post

hi, could someone please edit this post:

itt a strange man asks if you saw the ass on that one

... cutting out the 2nd paragraph, which maligns someone i greatly respect. making like so:

i guess i don't know what yr looking for. to expand on part of what i said, i had a girlfriend at one time who expressed "pseudo-psychoanalytic" theories about why gay people were gay. she thought it had to do with the failure to move past a certain stage of psychological development, resulting in a fear of women and tendency to displace sexual urges onto the self. she had many gay friends with whom i don't imagine she shared this theory - but then again, i don't really know...

again, i tend to think that lots of people have ideas like this kicking around their heads, and that many of us have these kinds of conversations in private, on reasonable, civil terms. but the only way they seem to occur in public is in the form of highly polarized shouting matches, where each side claims a position of unassailable moral superiority and insists that all opposition be defeated. which depresses me. and i think it contributes to a squashed, dishonest civic culture.

thank you

Got it.
