Nasty people on the internet

I can clearly recall recently saying to someone, I don't get nasty things on the internet, personally or on my blog. Everyone I know on the net is so nice. It may have been Dina who recently wrote about getting nasty comments or nasty related emails. I felt a bit superior. I don't get stuff like that. I had totally forgotten about Colin Huggins vile personal emails, but he reminded me by sending a new one, and then I remembered Robert Hayden and his vile emails too. Both go for the poofter angle and always manage to slip paedophile into the email . Water off a duck's back to me. I have experienced that for my whole life. Unless it is in my face, I lose no sleep over it.

The funny thing is, although I am gay, I adore women. Look at my blog list and most of them are women, but I am selective and only read blogs of smart and intelligent women. I doubt I would have ever continued my blog if it wasn't for my women friends on the internet, many of whom have I have met personally and some I haven't and would like to.

So where do Colin and Robert come from? I can only judge from personal experience. I felt very uncomfortable back in about 1984 in Cockatoo when Ex Sis in Law's brother in law was staring at me. It was when my nephew, now in Brazil, was just born. I was young and it spooked me. Ok, later, he came out as a gay man.  Work, I felt uncomfortable. This Arab looks like he hates me. I hadn't done anything to him. Why would he look like that to me. It all became clear when I saw him out at a gay bar and we chatted.

Is it the same with Colin and Robert? Are they closet homosexuals or just behave like they are?
