      No, I'm just a gay man that enjoys computer games in exactly the same way that non-gay men enjoy computer games.

      How is this self-ostracism? Is anyone who would choose to post there thus prevented from posting here, or to any of the planet* websites Gamespy owns? Or to any of the publisher/developer forums available for discussion? I post to a mailing list for gay gaymers, and yet I post here. How am I ostracized?
