You sir have crossed the line... Of course you know... Dis... MEANS WAR!!!
LOL
The fact that you even make any reference to what you believe or don't believe to be a poster's sexuality, and that you equate "flaming queer" with "gay" is itself offensive.
I missed this yesterday... You have it backwards... It is more about the target not the poster.
As I said I think just disallowing it as a general rule is the right thing to do but my context was.. I don't think Albion is gay or if he is its not some common knowledge thing and the poster was not actually attacking him personally. This goes back to what I was saying about intent. I think intent is a lot of it and I do think that in a lot of ways certain terms seriously take away from the overall value of the board and tarnishes the quality posts.
There is a big grey area that is we have moderator guidelines and davidt has strong feelings towards letting words flow freely and highly discourages deleting things (other than photos/personal info) but he does take the moderators opinions to heart.
But isn't using the terms 'queer' and 'gay', intent and homophobic. As these terms are used to belittle something as being lower in difference from what is 'normal'.
Or like a previous idiot, prattling on about a 'a gay stalker'
As a term without intent, if it is acceptable, that I can call women here, 'whores' or 'bitches'?

You silly old man
You're making a fool of yourself
So get off the stage
Bono....What a prat!
And I don't talk like Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction, but he is a bad mother....
To add to the fun - and in honor of the 100th post in this thread... Check other music for five free U2 downloads I posted. Heh heh
BTW, would it be possible for the Yankee fan to reduce the size of his Yankee banner so it doesn't eff up the layout of every thread I'm reading?

First you get puking and mewling
Then very pissed off with your schooling
Then f***s and then fights
Then judging chaps' rights
Then sitting in slippers -- then drooling.

A whole one. Someone wondered why
But I thought it made perfect sense:
