they're getting offended by a word that doesn't belong to them in the first place. I wish no ill on anyone in this world, especially those who face persecution, such as homosexuals, orphans, widows, and resident aliens (internationals, if you will).
The point is, queen soxtalk herself assumed I was defaming Magglio Ordonez as a homosexual. making the comparison of the word "ni#$##" to the word "gay" is irresponsible. that word has a clear derrogatory meaning and origin, whilst the word "gay" most definitely does not.
in retrospect, I shouldn't have used that word. stupid means stupid, and I'll use that from now on. I like stef, she's one of the best posters here. I'm sorry if I pissed you and others off, it was not my intention. I just don't like to be bullied around, and I feel that there's a sox4life backlash 'round these parts.
if you don't want me here, I'm gone. just PM with your reasons.
