Am I the only one going nuts over this? We will be seeing many more dorfs in the ancient halls of our forum, methinks.

If you google for it, it's the top link.  Oh man, it even mentions Boatmurdered.

As it's been said before it's already been posted.

That said I'm not sure where you're getting that Tarn is confirmed to be homosexual. It has no mention of his sexuality. The only mention of anything to do with his realtionships is the one with a Cisco system admin, which although is generally a male dominated field does have female employees.

I would think the real reason why he bans for gay jokes it's because they're usually crap that adds nothing to the convsation and I doubt his sexuality no matter what it is would have any affect on that.

Feeling a bit sorry for Toady at this point. Seems like everyone is going to be picking through the little personal life he talked about.

Well it does say the cisco system admin is a 'he' so he was in a homosexual relationship at one point.

Tarn has been single since graduate school, when he dated a Cisco systems administrator for a short time. I asked him whether he wanted children. “I don’t mind the idea of never having kids,” he said. “I want to stay focused on the game, and if I had kids, I’d wind up paying attention to them instead.”

I see no mention of the Cisco administrator being a He, theres absolutely no mention of sexual preference in any way whatsoever, neither straight nor gay.

The same way we know he's a woman because he locks threads that stray into sexist territory, like the threads about gender-segregated forts sometimes do?

[elf-fondling human]

I are confuse about that, but I do know that I have my work cut out for me if I want to be a programmer.

[Elisebambi]

Something about a bunch of bums trying to abyoose people? what?

Then I misunderstood the sentence as English isn't my first language and I apologize for any misconvenience I caused after my post.

Psst, Horrid.
Might want to lock the topic before it turns into a further debate about great Toady's sexual preference.
