And this is from someone I get along with...

And since you mentioned oppression, when was the last time a homosexual friend of yours was killed for his orientation? I understand the oppression the gay community faces, I truly do, but to compare it to people like Martin Burnham who literally was shot down when all he was trying to do was benefit those who were oppressing him... That's an entirely different level of oppression.

It could just be that I know more christians than I know homosexuals, but I've never gotten an email informing me that a homosexual was killed for his beliefs and yet I get all too many saying the same for christian martyrs. Comparing political and/or social oppression to martyrdom isn't exactly fair, now is it?

Yeah, I've had enough. Sorry, _lysia_ , but I can't stay around there when it's getting me so worked up. I'm sure the other mods will pick up the slack in my absence.

Bye, LP. It's been real.

Someone has a persecution complex! Where did this shit go down?

Legends Place (a pretty big forum for the Zelda fandom that I was a mod on). I've been thinking of leaving for a while now (lots of this kind of shit going down and most of the people I actually went there because of had gone) but I felt I should be responsible and stick around, being a mod and all. But yeah... this made me reach breaking point; I called him out on his shit and left.

That guy seems like an asshole. Someone should force him to play the CD-I Zelda games as a punishment.
