"BIMBOX hereby renounces its past use of the term lesbian and gay in a positive manner. This is civil war against the ultimate evil and consequently we must identify us and them in no uncertain terms..."
"So, dear lesbian womon (sic) or gay man to whom perhaps BIMBOX has been inappropriately posted...prepare to pay dearly for the way you and your kind have fucked things up."
