I knew this wasn’t Japhy’s post the minute I saw it.

I will never understand, nor do I want to understand, the very few people who posted agreement with this article’s ill will. Understanding people such as this would be distasteful to me.

I also do not understand why a sight such as this would post something so horrible. I just checked in today to see what others’ comments were. I was delighted to see that the vast majority was against it.

I’m also glad to read that many are no longer reading or supporting Queerty any longer because of such comments. I am in that group as well. Until things change here, I’m done with it as well.

I know very little about Don Imus and none of it good, but I still wish him a recovery if possible, and if not, then I hope it’s either the kind of prostate cancer that’s so slow it never does much, or else a very aggressive one that kills *quickly*.

We need to stop hating and show that we ARE Truly a community that accepts each other… and as much as it may hurt, we sometimes need to turn the other cheek, and let our enemys know that we don’t hate them like they hate us

You can co-own the website, fear censoring from no one, yet on any website or message board, throughout the internet, the only thing that’s ever really in your own hands to control is your reputation.

I wouldn’t delete it though. Locking it down might be a good idea, but as for deleting it, you can’t just edit it away.
Like it or not, the horse is out of the barn, and I think it is much more useful as a reminder of why one should not post hateful stuff like this in the first place. It has certainly generated some thoughtful comments to that effect.

Here’s a good article on the perils of rewriting web history:

But I don’t want to get into a discussion, or spend any more time on this vile thread than I have to.

I agree Don Imus is a hateful, hateful, person. However the very idea that anyone would get cancer because they somehow deserved it is based on the idea that the world is fair. If that is true, the we don’t have equal rights, protections against hate crimes, or marriage rights because we don’t deserve them.

I wonder what I did to deserve the shit I’ve had to live through since my prostatectomy. Hopefully it was bitch-slapping a bitter, bitchy queen like yourself.

My goodness! I dew believe sumbody’s getting the vapahs!

Oh my lawsie sumbodie done said sumthin bayad about that poh Imus boy.

Screw off ya big nancies. He deserves worse. I wish he had tongue cancer too. And dick cancer. And even cowboy hat cancer.

For living in a time of hate towards basically everything gay, its sad to know that with articles like this, the gay haters have some sort of fact to their claims of us spreading filth through the community. Its these comments that make everything gay taste sour in the mouths of those who oppose our way of living. There is NO need to share these thoughts with anyone in a public forum, unless of course it is to show how shallow one can be. No matter how bad the person is morally, this sinks even lower. Regardless of ones actions or opinions, wishing someone any disease or personal harm as a form of karmic retribution is just plain evil and has no place anywhere…especially in our community.

This is about enough to make me (and i’m sure others) want to stop visiting this site.

That couldn’t be clearer: you describe it as a good thing that he announced he has cancer. Stop pretending you’re not happy about it, and confront the reality that there’s just as much stupid hatred in the above statement as anything Imus has said.

And then apologize for this post.
