Or that well known Grand [del]Wizard[/del] Humanitarian, David Duke, who assures us that he does not in fact hate Jews, he just wants to warn society of the pernicious evils that those Supremacist Jews are perpetrating.
The sort of social hypocrisy that cliche embodies is worthy of disdain. In my vocabulary, it doesn’t carry the malignancy of “bigot”. YVMV.
That of course is not what i said.
What even funnier is that, of course you mouthbreating fool-for-hire, that’s exactly what you said.
You’re just too damn stupid to realize what’s coming out of your own mouth.
That’s what the word “faggy” means. It means “like a faggot”, you idiot.
And all those slurs you casually tossed about, like preferring ‘girly’ color schemes or ‘girly’ drinks, or over-embelished aesthetics or what have you, are exactly the slurs that are assigned to gay men when someone calls them “faggots”.
But again, you’re not a bigot, you’re simply mentally regarded.
I honestly believe that you’re telling the truth, and you really are just too fucking stupid to comprehend these basic facts.
Somewhere along the line you heard the words “faggot” and “faggy”, and lacking the brain power which would be required to run a potato-clock, you decided to set about using them, totally oblivious to their meaning.
Again, I do not think you’re a bigot.
I think there is fundamental damage to what would otherwise be healthy neural functioning and you’re just heroically stupid and smarmy in your powers of giving offense, or being an asshole, simply via opening your yap.
You are a disgusting little creature.
Ah, the “no u” defense. Well played, worthy adversary.
Personally I was expecting the same defense he used in the other thread. Roughly “Saying that someone acts like what a faggot would do has nothing to do with stereotypes of homosexuality. And if you think otherwise, it just shows that you’re a total bigot.”
This one is even less impressive.
I agree the ‘faggy’ pit thread was one of the best. I couldn’t stop laughing at his defense.
I thought his defense in the ‘faggy’ thread boiled down to ‘you don’t understand how I’m using the term. I’m saying it in a hip, with it way that kids today use it. And we all know that kids mean no insult when they toss around such terms. … …
I mean, come ON…Anne Coulter and Richard Nixon used the terms, and you know they don’t just toss around insults like swinging dead cats, right?’
Of course, he was less articulate (which is saying something), but that was the general direction I got out of his ramblings.
My guess is he picked this up from something 'luci said up thread, but since he probably didn’t understand everything 'luci was saying he just grasped on this and then replayed it.
I’ve noticed something about gonzo by looking back over the other thread and his, um, participation in this one. He generally skips over the majority of posts directed at him, and then, when the thread seems to be dieing down, will focus on one obscure part of some post to toss out a one liner…which will then get the thread started again. Or he’ll just come out with some bit of random nonsense or non-sequitur which will have the same effect. If you go through the lengthy and painful pit thread he started on mortgage companies you’ll see it clearly…a bunch of posters will explain something too him, he’ll ignore them all, then focus on some poster who is posting something tangential, he’ll post a one liner that makes no sense or shows he didn’t read any of the other posts, and then it will kick off the cycle again.
He does the exact same thing in the ‘faggy’ thread…20 posters venting on him or trying to make him understand why he’s being an idiot, thread starts to die down, he comes in with a one liner and kicks things off again, rinse and repeat until no one responds to his prods anymore, or until a mod closes the thread and puts everyone out of their misery. It seems to be his standard modus operendi.

Sure, that was part of it.
I’m not going to slog through that mess of a thread right now though (maybe later this evening), but IIRC he also said that it was those people who saw it as having anti-gay connotations were the bigots since he had several gay friends, or something of the sort.
Now I’m curious… but also lazy. I’ll track down a bit later tonight I guess.
You are right, he did say that as well (and the irony of course is that some of those posters ARE gay…so, he was implying that they were bigots against themselves! :p).
As for being lazy…well, I can certainly sympathize.

Well, just a second there. I have heard young 'uns use the term “gay” derisively, but having more to do with “style” or affectation. So that much I do know. As to using “faggot” in a similar fashion, I don’t know, wouldn’t surprise me that much. Last time I was flat out shocked by something like that, it was hearing “pimp” used in an approving tone. (Still haven’t quite got over that one.)
So if your rebuttal is based on the assertion that he is lying, and that no such pattern of speech exists, well, then, seems to me the burden rests on you. A burden, I daresay, you will find easy, being directly plugged in to youth culture as you are…
Simply because someone is universally unpopular, however well-deserved, does not qualify as evidence.

Actually I have inside knowledge about what I think of gays. That permits me to say with absolute fact you guys are wrong and full of shit. I do not have to make any cites. I have access to the truth. You bird brains are trying to concoct an offense against me on flimsy and incorrect data. I reject it 100 %. To make it clear. You are wrong.
That’s certainly part of the case he was making…that he was merely using the term as kids do, with no connotations towards gays. However, you’d really need to actually read the other thread 'luci…based on his subsequent posts it’s pretty clear that he did mean it as a slight towards gays. Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt, he was repeatedly told it is offensive…and he refused to hear or understand that.
As a counter examples, I used to use the term ‘hottentots’. I picked it up in a book I read and tossed it out once in GD as a joke, not even knowing what a fricking ‘hottentot’ was. Come to find out it’s an insulting term our Euro brethren tossed out to the locals in their African colonies. I had a poster send me a PM about it, explaining that the term was insulting to him (being from Africa) and asking if I was aware of the meaning. I immediately apologized and wouldn’t use that term again in so lighthearted a manner for anything.
You see the difference?

There’s glory for you.
I guess gay people should just learn to not be offended by the word “faggy” eh?
Would you consider rejecting it maybe 99% instead of 100%?
A hell of a lot of them are not. But then who did I call faggy?
?At least make a little sense. I called no one any names at all, zero, nada.
Just for the record, gonzo, because it affects the wagering, how many pages do you think this thread is up to now?
So, if I describe something as ‘niggery’, black people aren’t allowed to be offended because I didn’t call them names?
