Not even going to respond to his homosexual fantasy and his notions that being a walking billboard makes a person fashionable.

If not flamebaiting, then complete inappropriateness, since those are porn websites. It did make me smile though, because... well, nevermind. :)

How exactly is it flamebaiting to suggest some people are homosexual? Is homosexuality considered a derogatory concept to you perhaps?

Thread switched to mods only, don't want any of this bs commentary interjected with no relevance to the discussion at hand.

I would agree that it is inappropriate. perhaps a flamebait. of course, as I am in general wrong about such matters, I have probably just doomed the initial claim to dismal failure.
Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.

What part of "Mods Only" don't you guys understand?

I have to go to work, but I'm sure someone will take a look at it soon enough.

the "mods only" did not appear until after my post. if my post is inappropriate, I would not object to it being deleted.

It was completely inappropriate but not a flamebait. He has been reminded of this.

Calling fraternity members homosexuals isn't flamebaiting when it is common knowledge that I am a greek?

You seem to think being homosexual would be a bad thing. That's your problem. Not mine. Being a homosexual, I quite like people being homosexual. "10% is not enough, recruit, recruit, recruit!" And boy, do I try! But do not flatter yourself in thinking that I would want you to be homosexual. Really, really do not.

I too am of Greek heritage. Yet I don't see it as flamebaiting. Inappropriate, maybe.

I am fine with your ruling, just want to clear up something though.

Greek is referring to fraternity/sorority membership in this context, not heritage.

I don't think he meant the nationality. From what I gather, USA frat boys like to refer to themselves as "greek" as they use those Greek letter combinations, like "lambda, lambda, lambda"... not that it makes much sense, but it makes even less sense that I would have referred to Greek people as homosexual this side of the gay old, bi-curious and in some respects creepy (yet intriguing) antique pederasty.

That would explain plenty since I'm not up on my frat knowledge. :lol:

Why don't you TG them to be since they may not be appropriate in the eyes of some. ;)
