Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.

ohh i see.. well i thought i put a J/k after it but maybe it still seemed offensive. i apologize to anyone who was offended. i am not homophobic nor do i even take the idea of hitting a gay person seriously, it was a joke.

my point was to make rainbow_marble feel more comfortable with the idea of going to a gay club, because i've already been to two events there and each night was definitely enjoyable. (well actually only tiesto, oakey's mixing was dreadful)

sorry for any misunderstandings, especially to mr. dresden. you and mr.gabriel should come play in houston one day. i know a lot of people who would definitely love to hear you guys play.

Originally posted by daydreamer this was our general worry before we went to see Tiesto at Rich's. i don't now if anyone else wants to back me up on this but the crowd was pretty mix. there was some of the regulars there but there where also a lot of hot girls at the club. if the dj is getting off and you are surrounded by friends you kind of forget about the whole gay thing. hopefully we will se you at the next big event. maybe another TA get together before digweed. if there is enough interest we will see. -dreamer

I definitely back u up all the way, saw some serious hotties there. The gay thing is not a problem there arent that many there and they arent like forcing themselves on u, they are there to enjoy the music like everyone else, I would equate it to walking into Gap or Banana Republic. I dunno though I do have one complaint the sound system isnt as off the chain as one would desire, but I like the venue overall and the people are real nice. My only real complaint is they need a better opener big time. Well on second thought no they dont because Sean Craponhishands sux so bad I cant wait for the next dj.

wow Dave, it's a first, but I agree with ya I think we're in a day & age that people of all walks of life, straight, bi, gay, whatever can be accepted as normal like they are, even comments with j/k at the end can still offend, so think before you post (aimed at Emerald)

Hahaha I agree I just wouldnt be so harsh with language, I think all the TA's that were at Tijs can attest that Emerald is not a homophobe nor has hate towards them, I mean his job is 65 % if not more gay people. As for the comments I can understand the offense but he was just joking not that makes it ok but i think he shouldnt attacked like he is now, in other words give him a break, and get ure noses out of Dave's ass, Love ure music and all Dave but there is some serious ass kissing going on, people have to remember youre just another person like us, only u produce top quality music. Its ok to agree with someones comments but damn.

I agree with Prestige. Whats the big deal? Theres dumb posts on here everyday, ignorant ones as well. This is just another. So let's not make a big deal about it.


Dave might be more sensitive because of where he lives, *cough* San Francisco *cough*. Hell I live in Austin, believed to be 2nd behind Austin in the gay era, and I'm not making a big deal about it.

Emerald may not be a Homophobe but even I felt the comment made was pretty ignorant. His ignorance was shown because he didnt even know what was wrong with the comment he made. But in the end it doesnt really matter. This is a message board after all. So CALM down people.

And this is another prime example of the kind of idiot we have to put up with now here.

You cannot accuse me of kissing ass, as I usually disagree with Dave, but this time he was right. Sure we have idiots like yourself here, and remembering that we can only judge people on their attitudes in comments, how was I or anyone else who might be gay & offended by that attitude shown, know that he was truly joking. The book has to end somewhere and in this case, tranceaddict in general, do not accept bashing of people for race or sexuality, or like when girls post and suddenly every new one is hounded off the boards by horny men or guys. it's wrong in this day & age and shouldn't happen. I don't expect much of a response from you cos the post before shows that your intellectual status is on par with a foetus, so if you don't want a post to be taken in the way that most, including Dave did, simple, don't post it. We're not going to tolerate that ignorance, be it a joke or not.

damn.. its funny how i started all of this.

MY COMMENT WAS IGNORANT, AND IM SINCERELY SORRY I SAID IT.

quote:

i didn't realize what i wrote was wrong because i didnt even mean it to be offensive in the first place, those kind of thoughts never entered my head. i thought i was clearly defending the fact that being around gay people should NOT be something to be afraid of, hell, half the people i work with are gay.

quote:

The point is, dont be afraid of the gays. That's what your fist is for. If you see one.. RUN! no j/k.

now its obvious to me that this comment was really dumb and unnecessary, but it probably emerged from the fact that me and my gay coworkers always make jokes at each others expense just for fun. we all know its just jokes and no one gets offended, especially me. it's like the stuff they say on that show Will & Grace.

anyway, i am not trying to excuse what i said, but i just wanted to clear all misconceptions about me, and especially the club (Rich's).







ANYWAY....

Who's going to Digweed? I read that he's not as boring live as he is on his radioshows... i sure do hope so.

Well worded.

Sir, to call me an idiot is not only an understatement, but I believe it to be an oversight. My original cause in posting in this thread was to merely defend my buddy in a comical manner. It is obvious that the statement has filled you with disgust and therefore causing you to express your opinion by referring to me as an idiot. Probably what was stated was pointless and should have not been said to begin with. The post was initially intended to explain that Emerald was simply jesting about the club and its people.

My apologies
