VivreEstEsperer Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Beth/whirlygirl knows Geri from that site I believe... Link to post Share on other sites
Neats Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Yeah, I looked at that one but found it to be too rigid in its definitions of asexual. I like the broader ideas of AVEN. AVEN 'feels' like a more open and tolerant group upon reading the information of the site. Everyone on this forum makes it feel even more comfortable. Neats Link to post Share on other sites

JimDandy Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I have a few qualms about this site. First of all, I wonder who gave them the priviledge of calling themselves the "Official" Asexual Society? Did they file a copyright on the word? :? Second, their "test" is a joke. You couldn't determine if a cucumber was green with something that lame. Check it out at: (http://www.theofficialasexualsociety.com/productssimple7.html) Third, the entire site is practically humor-free. That doesn't bode well for any organization. Fourth, the page about Professor Graham Clegg strikes me as strange. If this guy has been doing research for an entire year on asexuality, why no links to an article or a paper? Yet he boldly states some "facts which cannot be denied" without a shred of evidence. Fifth, they do seem to have a forum up at: http://pub117.ezboard.com/btheofficialasexualsocietyboard It had all of 20 posts on it last time I was there. Sixth, I kept getting pop-up ads for Viagra when I was checking out the site. But maybe I'm being paranoid about this point. :lol: Anybody else know anything about these guys?

Gorax Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 *LOL* I only gave it a quick glance. Judging by JimDandy's post, I can tell I didn't miss much. Link to post Share on other sites

whirlygirl Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Third, the entire site is practically humor-free. That doesn't bode well for any organization. Whilst writing your feelings, please remember Geri is making an Active contribution to Asexuality by talking to the media, there are those who are doers and those who are the watchers. Geri's serious side is her Asexuality, but in her homeland she is a successful comedian. i'll continue the thread... http://hpbimg.theofficialasexualsociety.com/Asym.jpg That's some terrible paint artwork with disturbing mismatching colors... But the message for Asexual people is out there regardless of whether you'd feel improvements should be made. Yeah, I looked at that one but found it to be too rigid in its definitions of asexual. I like the broader ideas of AVEN. AVEN 'feels' like a more open and tolerant group upon reading the information of the site. Everyone on this forum makes it feel even more comfortable. beth :shock: Link to post Share on other sites
