Whether or not it was intentional, and whether or not I agree with Eph, I'd read this thread as bridging on homophobic.

Of course it was intentional Matt.
 
In much the same way we all tease each other about all sorts of things.
 
Bapu = Moobs
Straummy = Pedantic
Daryk = Likes monkeys
Beepster = Talks like a doooooooooood man
Pedro = Talks and talks and talks and talks and talks
John T = Likes chatting to birds and sinking a few jars
John = Fanboy
etc etc.
 
The reason nobody gets upset or god forbid 'offended' is because we are a self-effacing lot only too keen to laugh at ourselves.
 
Trust me please, the very last thing anyone who knows me would call me is a bigot or indeed a homophobe. I am, and always have been, completely disinterested in any trait or characteristic that a person cannot change or was born with. I might vehemently argue anyone's politics or religious beliefs, but their sexuality or skin colour is of no concern or business of mine.
 

Not even an honourable mention! 

BayouBill = Very needy

Yanno, it's weird but after our communiques over the past couple days I thought that might be the case and thanks for sharing. I really would like to see us become a more diverse community especially with all the new younger members arriving from Steam and elsewhere.
 

Seriously?
I hope it wasn't anything about that photo of you putting your foot up your arse.  That was what has been referred to (in previous posts) as a joke.

I think I may have missed something?
 
Which, as Bapu would say, is...
 
typical.

Matt, as I mentioned directly to eph in another thread - no one knew he was gay until he started dropping continual references to it in his posts.
 
To me and a few others, it appeared he was trying to get a 'reaction' by doing so.
 
It seems to have taken him by surprise that nobody really gives a sh1t.
 
To me, his sexuality isn't an issue, but surely that shouldn't stop me poking a little harmless fun in a (seemingly misguided) attempt to give him the reaction he so desires?
 
Far from his choice in partners, the only beef I have with the guy is that like all of us, he can be a little bit of a tool every once in a while.
 
 

Strummy, I don't want to be the main focus of this thread.
I saw him mention it once, but it didn't seem to be trying to get a reaction.  But I don't read all his posts...  I was actually impressed that nobody gave a sh1t, but to me it became more relevant as members starting pushing back at him with inferences.  Or at least that's how I read them.
 
I'm all for arguing with tools, and if someone's being a tool call them on it! I think we just need to take a little more care - making d1ck jokes to someone you're in a conflict with is very different than a d1ck joke to someone you're friends with (especially if he likes d1ck).

The messed up thing is I think most humans are at least partially bi.
 

I will admit to having a certain amount of man-lurve for Bapsi's Alembic.
 
 

We can always learn to be a little more sensitive to others.
 
I just don't think eph, based on his history around here, is the guy to teach us.
 
He's unnecessarily inflammatory and shown far more prejudice than those he attacks.
 
This is absolutely why I think we need more actual diversity around here. Not weird alt/troll cliches picking fights where there is no fight to begin with.
 
alright... i'll shaddup now.
 
got better things to do and the cray cray train needs to slow its cray cray roll.

This is the only time that's been relevant since I posted a Yazoo cover I did back in 2004.
