7/24/2013 4:57:05 PM Posted: 7 years ago I hate when religious people do this.
Christians aren't supposed to judge. Those without sin cast the first stone. Ugh. No one normal accomplished anything meaningful in this world. |

Sorry but if that group were actually in the far south they'd be busy making sure the homosexualists stayed out of their own area, not worrying about a town in Canada. I'm glad the letter didn't say anything about breaking legs...lol |

7/24/2013 9:35:16 PM Posted: 7 years ago Like I said, Poe's Law is in effect. I mean, we have people arguing that the Nazis were gay, and we of course have the infamous Phelps. Then we have people saying hurricanes are sent by God to punish gay people.
Honestly, in light of this, it's difficult to tell whether the person who sent it is actually homophobic. |

7/24/2013 10:28:42 PM Posted: 7 years ago What I find interesting is that even though medic doubts the letter's authenticity (which is a perfectly valid concern), he doesn't seem to go to any lengths to even express disapproval at the letters' contents, real or not.

7/25/2013 12:04:28 AM Posted: 7 years ago I think the letter is fake.
The tone of the letter fluctuates too wildly within the first letter, let alone between the two letters. However, I actually am impressed with this, assuming it is real. I do not approve of the threats of violence or the insulting greeting, though. I think this is actually a humane way to deal with someone you, as a group/city/neighborhood, don't like, for whatever reason, except for the insults and, obviously, the threats of violence. To write a letter saying: we don't like you here's why we don't want you here please leave, and we will help you if you don't, we will make life miserable for you (shun, not violence) Obviously, people will disagree with the who or the why, but on principle, this is the way to go about it. If it helps, think of a child molester that just moved to the neighborhood. Write a letter, don't physically attack him every night or break his windows or anything. I hope people aren't taking this the wrong way... At least the noble sheep provides us warm sweaters. All your hides would provide are coward pants. - Dick Solomon "I call albatross!" - seventhprofessor |

In what ways? My only problem with it is that anyone can be on it for any sex crime, which is misleading (like statutory rape). But, isn't shunning better than violence? Is it wrong to warn/inform others of their distaste of another? In a strange way, it is more civil, IMO. Just reminding people I don't condone the use of violence, insults, or even the rational of the paritulcar issue of the OP. I am speaking in principle only.

My guess is it was done by people who want to mess with homosexuals but completely made up the "group" they were involved in. I'd be surprised if more than two people were involved. |

Fair point, but I think that if they were a part of a group large enough to be connected to the PD and able to provide financial assistance, their tactics would be a bit more professional. Also, they didn't exclusively say they want them to go to America, they also mentioned places in Canada they could go. They said Vancouver, but preferably San Francisco. |
