Tetrismonkey wrote:Wether or not you can catch everything, the word "gay" has to much of a gray area. Jack, hate to say this, but this is a forum, not the real world, and jsut because someone says they are straight or gay, doesnt actually mean they are. Everything is assumptions and trusting. These posts, however jokingly they may be put, are still on the same line as actually saying an insult. Saying "your gay" is to hard to differ between either a insult or a complement. There are far worse things out there than calling someone gay.

Not only that, but it actually wouldnt be a RL insult. Just because you direct the statement at said user saying they are gay, it could mean they are insulting the User, not that acutal person behind the user. Seeings how we dont know each other in person and so forth, it would be to hard to say you are insulting that person, and not there character.

Now using the word "faggot" is an insult and thus should be warned,not as a RL threat or anything, but perhaps profanity(dont know if its filtered or not).

Besides, its not like it is a threat. Was there any indication that there would be harm against the "person" behind the character?

If you read my post, you will see I provide the links above the quotes so peeople may read them more into context.

Wether or not its made in a 3rd person or anything else, its still used and directed toward someone. Meaning they also should get the same punishment?

Deni, I never called anyone gay. I still think that is insulting... especially when it is used in an agressive enviroment like the Galactic Colosseum where every word is used with it`s mean meaning.

However, if you so choose in the conclusion of this debate that using the word gay is not offensive, make note TTF that i will not hold on from calling you all gays everytime i`ll get the chance. And fun fun to see then if you`ll like to be called like that. Be warned.

Have a nice debate.
