i think you arent paying attention to the same conversation. mr. 5.0's statements are nothing more than hate talk. i find his statements as a moderator especially deplorable. the role of a moderator on most boards is to be fair to everyone, not justify the ridicule of anyone.


I highly doubt you would pay attention if someone on here used the word biatch, or ho, etc....even though those words can be equally as "offensive" to some women.

it would really depend on the usage. "biatch" and "ho" can both be used jokingly as a term of endearment. if it were hate speak i wouldnt ignore it anymore than any other class. still, there is a bit of a difference. for the most part, the womens cause has arrived. women are not blatently ridiculed for being women, its just not publically acceptable anymore.

lol.....wrong! i just happen to respect the privacy of other members too much to draw their names into it.

if this is indeed a place of oppressive hate speak then i would definately be better suited elsewhere. i just have not yet determined if it is limited to a couple people or if it is a fair representation of the group as a whole.

I think whomever was "offended" should stand up for themselves. I started an entire thread when I felt that my fellow members thought my responses were too harsh. So...a 21 year old chick can confront an issue head-on, but other members cannot even cite their discomfort? Mmkay.

But apparently you've already got it all figured out buddy, we're all hate talkers Because we used the word FAG, HOMO, etc in a jokingly derogatory manner. I bet the Klan hats are gonna come out too!!!!

I don't dislike gays at all, but I DO dislike them shoving their BS on me by having parades to celebrate that they copulate with members of the same gender. And there aren't "just a few militant ones"as you claim...there are obviously enough to fill a big *** parade! I DO respect their right of free speech to say "I'M GAY!"...but unlike you, I am not a hypocrite. I also indulge the opposite end of the spectrum to have their FREE speech.." I DISLIKE GAYS!" I'm not going to afford rights to SELECT groups and deny them to others while citing "hate" as an excuse. Open speech is exactly that...OPEN...to ANYONE.

And yes, you said that *most* women are attracted to muscles, etc (scroll up). Which I really could care less if its true or not (which it probably is, knowing women today) you're allowed to make somewhat derogatory blanket statements about women, but we can't use "fag" in a joking manner? Ok, sure.

I defend the right of people to like/dislike whomever they please. I do NOT call that hate talk. You like gays? Cool. You don't like gays? Cool. I have my opinions, you have yours. However, that isn't good enough for people such as yourself. You say you are standing up for the rights of gays not to be offended...well I'm a straight person, offended by your allegations that we are HATE MONGERS! Where's my protection??

If you so vehemently dislike the actions of our members and moderators, why are you still here? Of course I'm not/can't telling you to go, its certainly not my place to decide that, but if allowing our members to express themselves the way they choose bothers you, yes I do indeed think you will be more welcome elsewhere.

We don't condone violent actions on ANY people, gay, straight, black, white etc. But, we do respect the rights of people to like/dislike anyone they choose to. In fact, the ONLY person who has acted OPPRESSIVELY is...you. You complained about the terms used, in an effort to silence them...sounds pretty oppressive to me!

FYI: Actually, feminists that are militant ARE blatantly ridiculed, so you can add that special interest group to your "Protect" list as well
