How about if I do it in this thread, you dishonest, knuckle dragging, scabrous fuckwit?

I would say thats a hateful slur (on par with any other homophobic slur), and assuming you’re being serious, that would put you on par with all the other homophobic bigots

Oh, I was completely serious. Now, riddle me this, you fucking moron: can you figure out the difference between insulting someone for things they’ve actualy said and done, as compared to things they were born with, over which they have no control? Or are you too busy desperately concentrating on maintaining your autonomous nervous functions to actually think before you open your cavernous pie hole and start vomiting stupid all over yourself?

I have no problem with name-calling. Hell, I’m an asshole, and I know it. If someone calls me an asshole, they’re just confirming what I already know.
I’m just hoping you already realized you are an asshole, and that I’m not in the unfortunate position of enlightening you to something you didn’t know.
That would make me an asshole.
ETA: I’m ok with name calling, I’m not ok with bigotry.

It depends on if you mean knuckle-dragging in respect to great apes, _Homo neanderthalensis_, or black people. One is bad. The others are just insults.

You don’t remotely get it.
That, and you’re an asshole.

Wow Miller, you sound very angry tonight. Did you just call me a Moron??
Isnt slurring people against forum rules??
How exactly would I have any control as to which (abusive) family I was born into??
In other words, you cant help if you’re born gay (I agree with that). But you also cant help it if you’re born into an abusive, alcoholic father who beats the shit out of you every night

No, I called you a moron. It’s not a proper noun, so it doesn’t take a capital. You moron.

It’s not, you impossible dipshit.

Right here is the absolute crux of your fucking idiocy. It’s a shining example of how fucking stupid you are, or how much of a troll you are. Either way, you’re not worth engaging in serious discussion.

All you’re doing with responses like this is confirming that you’re trolling. No one is as stupid as you pretend to be.

Obviously, it’s not your actual opinion, but a parody of an ignorant asshole’s view of the world.

“just fucking with you” is pretty much the textbook definition of trolling. In other words, you don’t even believe the shit you are spewing, you just are spewing it to get a rise out of people.
Are you that lonely? Do these replies make you feel that you have a meaning in your life - that you are not the worthless nonentity that you suspect yourself to be?

Lets say I really was that stupid, wouldnt you be bigoted against low IQ people with your slur??
Anywho, the whole point of my previous post was, if MLB is gonna suspend people for slurs thats fine, but lets be fair and make it equal across the board and suspend EVERYONE for ANY type of slur
