I dunno what you'd call it elsewhere, but over here the term that comes
to mind is 'queer-bashing'
Think about it, all the intended victims attended an AIDS conference, that's
where the postal list is said to originate.
Personally I'd look for a successful male, mid-twenties..early thirties,
straight hetero, either just got it, or just lost someone close from it.
Whether his aim was accurate is another matter entirely. Anybody notice
any females mentioned in the hit list? Is this the place to discuss it?
Comment all you like, I don't intend to follow this thread any further.
