Yes, you did, but for your use of the word “fag” only. And does just saying it’s a whoosh mean that you don’t have to follow the rules? Can I post a long hateful PITing of Cecil and all the staff and then say “whoosh” and it’s now OK? Can I threaten to sue the SDMB, and get away with it if I say it’s only a joke?😕

Just saying “it was a joke” doesn’t prevent a harassment charge in the real world.

The word is still hurtful to some- even if you meant it as a joke.
