Pardon reviving this old thread. This is the first time I'm back since my last post. It's hard work having one's own life and raising two parents too! But boy do they grow up quick...!
I underlined what you wrote because it was just hard to separate it all.
(1)
DB123, "if" isn't an ambigiouos cover all to save everying that someone says. Regardless of that conjunction being used, it does nt change the assumptions one makes to get to the point of saying if. Put another way, you made assumptions to get to a certain point, and using if in the end doesn't change the fact that a whole lot of assumptions were made (correct or incorrect) to get to a specific thought.

If another poster was banned for not being a John, then that's fine. If the board owner or mods want to ban me, then it's up to them. They could just ask me to leave, and I wouldn't return - so a ban isn't all that necessary. The logic behind your post doesn't hold up though. How does one know when someone is or isn't a john. It isn't a requirement to post here after someone uses sex services. This is a rhetorical postulation.

Part of the reason that I wished not to address your comments ("nothing substantive to comment on" as you put it) was because you explicity said that you didn't read anything.
Ignorance is the absence of knowledge, but having that information available and
choosing not to learn is something else beyond ignorance. You didn't take the time to read anything, but most importantly: I don't owe you any type of explanation. The material is there for you to review on your own, and the human rights code is there for you to look up on your own. I'm not going to do your work for you.
I'll try to spell out what I said ("As I am not a 'John' I cannot claim that my rights have been infringed. Do you understand that?") in a different way:
In order for anyone to make a human rights complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Comission or Ontario Human Rights Tribunal they
must show that
their rights have been infringed upon. As I said, I am not a John. As such, I cannot make any claim that my rights have been infringed upon. What is ironic is that sex services is often argued under the umbrella of human rights (as it very well should be), but some members in that line of work openly discriminate. If the discrimination is based on safety reasons that's fine (it's allowed in human rights to happen), but to say that no blacks or indians are accepted for safety reasons is so stupid it's unbelievable. It's appalling that some people are claiming that here so broadly and suggesting that it should apply to all members of a race. Someone's skin colour is not a predetermining factor for crime (that falls under prejudice and racism).
Furthermore, as sex acts (or companionship) for money is still an illegal act, it's much more than problematic to claim human rights for an illegal act. Finally, it is not against any human rights to be able to copulate with whomever or whatever you want. That is ridiculous. It is against human rights to discriminate based on race related grounds.

wpgguy, someone having an opinion different from yours and an opinion that they are willing to defend - doesn't make them a troll. Someone here just posting to inflame people is another thing. Please learn the difference. That other attempt to reduct what I said and brushing it off as a 'troll' just further acts to ignore the issues.
Here is a CBC article about racism:
