I apologized, what more do you want? There is nothing I can do. You feel the need to continue poking me with your incorrect breakdown of my true meaning of the initial post. I am not back-peddling but I am sorry for causing you so much grief. Saying something like, "To me it looks like Sublime was called out on a remark that is clearly bigoted," sounds
To me to be rather jerky.
Quote:To me it looks like he's so steeped in the idea that gays are somehow (even if just sexually) inferior to people like him (e.g. straights) that his original comment above does not strike him as the bigoted remark it is.
Ignorant and, once again, you are being a jerk. Actually, I'm an innocent in this conversation. I didn't know that the N-word was bad until I moved to MD and became good friends with blacks, and hicks for that matter. I have never pushed away homosexuals because they are what they are. I don't care. I had many classes that had gay people in them. I wasn't cruel to them. I didn't throw rolls at them in lunch. I didn't talk bad about them behind their backs. But you didn't take the time to find out before calling me a biggot or saying what kind of person I am.
Quote:To me it looks like Sublime expects gays to be held to a different standard than straight people and not talk about/admit their sexuality in public.
These are some major accusations you are swinging at me. And considering how you are gathering them, I would hate to see how your brain works. I hate gays (is that offensive, I don't know) because I used the word "lesbo," once, publically.
Quote:But, Sublime says he didn't mean anything by it. So whatever.
After you tear into me, you say this. If you truely have this "whatever" attitude of it, you would have let it go after my initial apology. But you don't and you can't. I said I would say it...get a life.

100% correct.

Thank you, I couldn't find a way to say it, so I was going to leave it out.
Again, I'm so sorry for the grief that the one word I used has caused. I will apologize 100 times if it will help. I will get on my knees and beg forgivness if it will help. Just tell me what I can do.
After saying this, I'm done for the night, and probably for a long time considering Lisa is a mod. Oh well. As bad as me saying the word "lesbo," I find it twice as bad to stamp someone as a biggot with little evidence.
