Well, aren't you Christians waiting for him to come again? There he is! Twice in fact: one for the week and one for Sunday Best! Always good to have a spare, just in case!

(Are you now going to change your name to Urban Peacemonger?)

Incidentally, I would have said Urban Lovemonger, but that just sounds gay...

I've already used up Urban Lovemonger

He obviously doesn't think it's wrong and the joke was innocuous. It's not like he said, "This, that, or the other is gay." It's neither creating or contributing to an anti-gay atmosphere nor is it attacking a pro-gay atmosphere. It's not perpetuating stereotypes. If it's not 100% sensitive, who the **** cares?

Christ! You can make anything offensive if you try. If someone wrote "he's a thick Irishman" or as thick as an Irishman I would be annoyed but would not take a huge amount of offence to it, just as if someone said to Fetcher you scots are all mean. It doesn't mean you denigrate the object of your comment. And anyway, what the ****? You've managed to completely misdirect and misrepresent my comment by picking holes in it. You've turned a completely sincere compliment into something you see as dubious. Why can't you just let things slide? It's not like I was saying gays are wrong, or to be gay is wrong! How careful do you have to be what you say around people like you? Christ! Again!

as in not gay at all but experimenting with their sexuality to the fullest? Yeah, being comfortable enough to admit that publicly, how fucking queer.

Urban beat me to it but you are taking the Lord's name in vain but that's to be expected from someone that can't see what they said is wrong and then attempts to defend their ignorant comment by using stereotypical jokes to explain it away. Those two things are fompletely different actually but I'm done. Not going to OT anymore.

Urban was, I assume, joking. Holy ****ing buddha, Mohammed or The Great Pink Pixie! Would you prefer I just kept my mouth shut? You find fault in the tiniest remarks. I have to say, your holier-than-thou attitude is really starting to wear thin with me, man. Like I say, instead of allowing the comment to stand as a sincere compliment to two great debaters you've pulled it down to the level where you're now accusing me of not only not being sensitive to homosexuals but to Christians as well!

Just give it a rest, will you? Your self-righteous crap is sticking in my throat.

I told everyone to get back on topic and people continued to post so it got deleted by a mod. You're welcome to talk about the thread topic however.
