EDIT: Also, you commented earlier that "it's interesting" that I haven't responded to any of MMM's comments, or something like that. I've made a personal decision not to respond to MMM while in the middle of any of these types of discussions, because I happen to think that MMM is rude. If you'd like for me to respond to anything in particular, feel free to reiterate a point in your own words, and I'd gladly continue a discussion with you.

It's not wrong to stereotype (in the general sense) -- because it IS human nature after all.
You should know this more than anyone, considering you're a lesbian. People stereotype gay people all the time, but gayness, as well as racial-attraction, are simply primitive, subconscious, psychological tools.
Personally I think MMM is being rather cordial, all things considered. Just because he nullified your argument doesn't mean he was being "rude"
