I am appalled to see that the rumours about this site are indeed true. With a few exceptions TiBB is nothing more than a haven for gay bashers !! Shame on you.

I post this link as a tribute to my good friends, Bonzo & Disco, so unjustly banned from this site by homophobes! These guys were guilty of nothing other than the fact that they were gay men expressing themselves.

PS - please ban me too if you wish but why bother? I am not visiting this sorry little site again.

As a gay man who has always been made welcome on TIBB - whats your point?

perhaps if nice people post they wouldnt get banned

and since your not visiting again I'll not waste my time doing a long reply - just say that I have never had any problem on this site and I'll be happy to post again - so bye lol

Excuse me Eejay, I would not post on any site which was homophobic. I loathe homophobia and prejudice against any minority group more than anything in the world. I deeply resent the suggestion that I, or any of my friends on this board, many of whom I know personally, would intentionally make any offensive comments.

As for Bonzo and Disco I personally have no quarrel with either of them. I am a huge Ainslie fan, as you can probably see from my avatar, and am a member of ainslieonline.

I truly just can't believe the venom in your post, Eejay. I spend last night having dinner with three great guys, two of whom just happen to be gay. I wish you would believe me, but I suspect you probably won't. It is however the absolute truth.

I havent had any problems on here and I dont have any problems with gay people neither

Im just expressing my thoughts

Hello Eejay

I would like to greet you, but you have made that rather difficult by your attack on us all.

My first instinct was to ignore the post entirely, but that isn't really on, because I cannot let such an accusation against me (or my friends on here) go unchallenged.

I am certainly not homophobic, and if I thought the site was, I wouldn't be here. This is probably the friendliest site I have ever visited.

We have had issues, like most sites, where threads have become heated in discussion, and on occasion it has all got out of hand and they have been closed. This also occurs on Digital spy, the Channel4 forum, etc, etc. Ours have been few and far between.

We welcome new members, and their contributions, however varied.

However, it is pretty gutless to post an accusation and follow it up with 'I don't care what you put in response, because I won't look anyway! Na na na na na.......'

I am prepared to bet you will.

In which case Eejay, you are wrong, you have been misinformed, and I do wonder what precisely you have based your judgement on.

It's tame and predictable to say many of my friends and colleagues are gay, but they are, and it is a fact. I work in nursing.

I don't give it a thought to be honest, and they are just too busy getting on with their lives to be wrapped in angst about their sexuality. I don't think of them as 'they' I think of them as part of 'us'.

Please try to move on. I am sure Stonewall have bigger fish to fry and a few more worthy causes than a little internet rivalry and back-biting.

I think this poster is trying to wind us up and it is working.
We all know of Disoc's and Bonzo's previous postings and how much aggro they caused us and this poster is trying to do the same.
We all know that we are not homophobic, we dont need to explain ourselves as we have done nothing wrong so lets just ignore Eejay. Let them think what they want.

No, Tonto, EeJay was not talking about Discolady but a person called Disco, someone else entirely.
