Is it PO?

[tdk]

This whole "politically correct" thing has been going on for far too long and it's getting worse by the day. Enough of that though, let's get specific.

I'm not getting into an argument regarding "homosexuality", but I'm sick of them getting butt-hurt (no pun intended honestly) whenever you call out their sexuality in any way possible, under any context. You could feel weird awkward talking about legs if you're hanging out with a paralyzed guy, but that's because it's a tragedy and the idea of not having legs hurts him. What about homosexuals? If they're as confident and as secure with their sexuality, why would they take out all of that frustration on you whenever it's brought up? I'm all for judging by the context of the words, but labeling a word that merely defines their sexuality "offensive" is taking it too far, even if it was spoken by an anti-homosexuality person.

Sorry I got a little off topic again. I tried looking for a recent poll or something on the internet but I found nothing. I came across this, however. Seems interesting the what looks to be a handful of homosexuals saying it's fine, one said he even liked it.

In short, answer the poll please. If you're a homosexual and you believe in yourself, you wouldn't be afraid to reply to anything I said

Woops, by "this" I meant:

If you're starting this thread in order to elicit a free and liberal debate over free speech, fine.

If you're starting it because you've been cited for using it in a derogatory manner, then what do you hope to accomplish? To prove that you're right to use it as an insult because it isn't an insult if it isn't used as an insult?

Oh, wait.

The words "queer" and "faggot" mean nothing in and of themselves. One means puzzling and the other is a piece of wood. But when used to color language in a way that suggests that being one or the other is actually a bad thing, as you so colorfully did when you received your last infraction, lumping "queers" with "posers" and "tools", that's quite clearly abusive language. Which falls afoul of our AUP. As does alluding to people being "Nazi" for no good reason.

Now, do you actually need yet ANOTHER moderator to hold your hand and walk you through the AUP and what is and isn't acceptable on our site... AGAIN?

Thank you.

EDIT: In case you don't know, you are now officially on the watch list. Keep your chin clean and keep all off-color commentary to yourself.
