It wouldn't be nearly strong enough to do that.

I love how you're attacking the person who the original bigoted thing was addressed to, but you have nothing to say about the blatant homophobia that was addressed to him.

Excuse me but what the hell are you talking about, Like I said to the last guy are you mad or something?
You are very Ignorant and rude yourself calling me ignorant, homophobic and telling me to fuck off. I just said my opinion what I think. I don't think I know anyone in real life who don't agree with me, yes you may not agree with it but thats your opinion. :) So sorry if I made you rage of butthurt. :palm:

Oh, but obviously I have to do my part to respectfully show how the homophobe is wrong, even when they're blatantly shading me, right?

Fair enough.

Honestly, I thought it was blatantly ridiculous in the first place, but since I'm obviously such a bigotry-supporter myself.

But then, there's no thread ownership...

I'm perfectly calm. You have confused anger with contempt. People, including myself, are reacting to you with the same emotion that you would get from others if you dropped your pants and took a shit in the middle of a crowded street. Don't flatter yourself.

Clearly 8) Because that's what enlightened 21st century liberalism is obviously all about. Jeez, has it ever occurred to you to just be nice to your attacker? You've got a whole sexual orientation to represent, you know ;)
(Also, what is 'shading' and 'pressed'? I must be getting old)

To be fair, I never claimed that you intentionally supported the statement. Ignoring its offensiveness and trying to shame LGBT people into being nicer to their abusers has the same effect, though.

"Shading" and "pressed" are neo-gay slang.

Shading is when you try to insult or debase someone in a way that seems well-intended or over their head. Pressed is when you're irrationally opposed to someone and everyone knows you're that one guy who will go to ridiculous lengths to seem rational, utilizing all sorts of shading techniques.

I wasn't trying to "shame LGBT people into being nicer to their abusers", my initial instinct was that he could potentially be warned for that. If that's what it came across as, I can assure you that was definitely not my intent.

"Sorry that you feel..." is a pernicious and deceptive excuse for an apology. I'm not the one you owe an apology to, anyway--you did nothing to me--but if you're not going to properly apologize, don't bother - you'll save yourself quite a lot of negative judgement that way.

Well, I want something from you.

I want you to be an open supporter of gay rights in your community; in your church and workplace. I also want you to practice conversational intolerance when someone says something with a homophobic bias. It's human decency.

Is that too much to ask?
