Dale disses gays.
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1997 19:35:01 -0800 From: Dale Thorn <dthorn@gte.net> :Another funny thing - I'm an ordinary English/Welsh/Dutch White :person, Makes me hate myself. :and I've had plenty of White friends, and an equal percentage of :Black friends given the number of Black people I've known, but I've :never had a friend who was gay or lesbian, as far as I know, and I :think I could tell. How, Dale, by the smell? :I can only guess that the gays are very clique-ish, :or their brains are wired differently than non-gays. Perhaps the hard wiring makes it possible for them to avoid bigots like you. Sign him up to pass out the pink triangles. What a fraud! Still love you, big guy. Can you tell?

I worked for a gay man in Beverly Hills and Encino for 3 years. I learned a lot about "signals" during that time. Bigot? I don't think so. One of my favorite customers, a nice lady who is Jewish (and who grew up where I did) told me she could spot 'em every time.

I'll bet you do! Er, I wouldn't bend over in front of you, that is. No offense, ya' know. BTW, my browser has a problem with your lines that have no c/r after every 70 or so characters. Other people will undoubtedly confirm that.

This is a typical case of overconfidence on her part. If she thought about it for longer, she would realize that she cannot benchmark her gay-spotting performance very well. If you presented her with, say, 100 unknown men and 50 of them were gays and she'd identify everyone correctly, I would be impressed. A truly great and simple book that talks about this stuff is ``Decision Traps: the ten barriers to brilliant decision making''.

Yes, we will. - Igor.

I don't know. It has always been easy for me to spot a faggot. I mean, I can even tell by their voice if they are queer.

Tell each one of them to converse for 5 minutes, and I can tell you 9 out of 10 faggots for sure. I used to be a dancer, and the faggots were knee deep at Point Park College dance classes.

True, it is a bitch if you are using a brtowser for e-mail. Try Pine instead. {;-)-~ How many days left for that toad.com list?

Probably multiple people. It's just an anonymous remailer.

Well, those of us who happen to know Gilmore is straight are not very impressed with your accuracy.

If you really intended to do this as an experiment, this method would not work. The way it works (and what she meant I believe): 1. Start with 100. Observe them very briefly and pick the most obvious candidates from immediately-discernable features. How accurate this would be is not so much hit or miss by misidentification as it is making too broad an evaluation on the first round. 2. Now that you've eliminated the most obvious of the gays and the most obvious non-gays, take only what's left and observe for somewhat longer, and you should be able (if you're as good as her) to pick off quite a few more. In the end, of course, there has to be doubt about quite a few, which is the whole point of having a non-discriminatory policy, so that nobody feels compelled to make judgements where they are not warranted. If you think I'm carrying this too far, check out the comedy movie with Tom Hanks and Sally Field, where Hanks identifies a Jewish doctor by superficial appearance alone. It's my only point.
