Wow that's so gay.

Preposterous, you used the g** word. Watch out, you'll get a warning.

I got a warning for "insulting other members" because I called someone gay.
In some pigeon brains the word "gay" or "homosexual" is still an insult.

At least make it more logical and warn that post for "Derailing threads where there is serious discussion going on". Although it still won't make sense because in the same post I bothered to translate an interview by Del Neri which most of you, including the moderator who warned that post, didn't understand because it was in Italian.

Absurd.

 

[bianconero]

Could we have a list of words considered to be insulting?

Is retard among them?

I, for some reason (I guess because I don't hate Man U or Ferguson) am often called a fan of theirs.

 

[Bjerknes]

Stop being so jovial, guys. It might get you warned.

So gay is banned now as an adjective? Can we still use it as a noun?

You can still be it.

C'mon guys, lets just have a gay old time.

Sir Gaylord likes to get gay with the ladies.

Absurd.

What's even more absurd is that the mod who gave me the warning for calling Furia Ceca gay is this same mod:

It's not the instrument, it's how you use it.

Burke calls kasaki "My nigger!" can be one thing. But there are a lot of other contexts where it can be a definite insult, if not outright undesired as an insult.

Comon', Alen. You have a brain about this. Don't be lazy and please use it.

However the word gay is used, it can't be an insult. In this particular case it makes even less sense due to the mod who gave the warning and the way he behaves for months, calling people pricks and insulting members using the rep system.
Posts like the warned one can be found in numbers here every single hour.

We all know why Rab warned me, lets not pretend that he was doing his mod job.
That's all for me regarding this warning. I will respect Dule's demand above.

Alen, first of all, in looking into this, I agree that I think Rab basically treated you harshly here. Inappropriately so even. That much should not be tolerated. So thanks to Dusan for reversing things.

But to the point I was making, just about any word can be used as an insult given context. History is littered with people who felt offended at being called negroes, then blacks, then coloreds, then whatever the term of the day might be. It's not the words themselves... it's always the context. So I disagree with you that the word "gay" could never be used in an insulting manner.

Don't get it wrong. Any member can express himself here if something goes wrong, or thinks it went wrong, like you did. And you can keep replying.

I just didn't want to see other members jump in and post random unnecessary things.

My bad.

I received the weirdest + REP today,

Nice to see some modesty in you.

Guess who sent me that
