Let's hear some opinions...

[God]

For those of you who have recently entered the New York or Little Italy forums only to find a thread started by a shameless site promoter linking to a site with a total of Twelve (12) (Yes that's right) registered users on it.

What do you think of him?

edit: I'm making this poll end the day after this edit. If you really want the poll to remain, you can change the poll to active again. (set it to run for "0" days and it will run forever. -JEEP

[Yoko Kurama]

I would of said stupid ass faggot but sure

[Quagmire]

Let's not make a big deal out of this. Just ban his IP, delete his posts, and get over it. No need to get all flame-y over this.

[rite]

How about people who seem to think that calling someone a homosexual is an insult?

I don't like them either

[Yoko Kurama]

calling someone a faggot is not necessarily refering to them as homosexual but just an idiot.

[Stewie]

I agree with rite. Let's just say he's stupid.

[Yoko Kurama]

thats fine but i was merly trying to say I was not refering to homosexuality

[bigbenwd]

i say we go to his board, and spam it mercilessly, whos with me?

[ZONEACE]

this is the stupidest thing i have ever heard or read


you honestly believe that? if you do then you are stupid, or in the words of yourself a faggot.

See faggot as in homosexual is not really a word it is slang. Being there is no definition for it other than something that deals with sticks your comment is not necessary. I just stated what I had meant and how I did not mean to anger any homosexual. But if you choose to insult me then go ahead.

You ask if I honestly believe that? Why yes I do because where I'm from that’s how the word is used, and if it is not used that way where you’re from then I guess your whole comment must have been a misunderstanding.

there is no hope for the world as long as there are people like you in it. This is exactly the type of thinking htat eventually leads to hate crime. and also the ignorance that is shown is the exact reason that the group with the highest suicide rate is homosexual teenaggers. This sort of attitude that oh well i persoanlly don't think its offensive or wrong is what causes the hurt and pain that leads to the suicide. good job perpetuating the cycle.

[God]

Okay, Instead of Faggot, the poll should now be "Dummy."

[Yoko Kurama]

There is no hope for the world is there because there are people out there who pull words out of context and not just take it for what it truely meant.

Well ZONEACE it seems that God also meant idiot (dummy), but I guess in your mind we are both stupid right? You figure there is no way that people use the word that way unless they are anti-homo. It is the people who make fun of homosexuals that get them to kill themselves!!!

you dont get it do you? Faggot, in its most used meaning is a derogatory word for homosexuals. Also colling someone faggot is no different than calling them gay. It is the negative connotationt hat is the problem. You see, in our society, being gay is looked at as being bad, so we have negative words and words we that have negative connotation that we use that make someone gay ie. faggot. I dotn even know why i try, people just dont understand. they dont think before they open thier mouths and well, the drivel that is this thread is what happens.

this is why i love people soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much

[Scalebane]

I would have to say that I completely concur with ZONEACE and would have to ask the people here to grow up a little and see the common sense which ZONEACE is using through his web of typos and bad grammar.

thanks for seeing through my horrible typing/sentence structure.

[Yoko Kurama]

I don't get it.... no see you don't get it, the FACT is there are more definitions for a word so getting mad at me makes no sense. It is deragotory the way it is used when you hear it right????? Well the way it was used here or the way I used it here was not meant to insult any homosexual only to state that Street was a moron. So whats your problem???? Just because you see things one way doesn't mean that there is no other possible way to look at it. You are right it is not that proper of a word to use in this case but it was used and I don't see getting pissed about it is helping anyone. You are right faggot is derogatory towords homosexuals, but not in the way God used it in this forum. When God said change that to Dummy he saw his mistake, but you might HATE PEOPLE thats how people are. I don't like racists though if I here someone use the N word or cracker if its not meant in a racist way then I don't care.
If God had the poll
GAY
FAGGOT
HOMOSEXUAL
Doesn't bother me.
then you might have reason to gripe.
So get over yourself, God didn't mean it against homosexuals you get that right??
So whats the problem???

Stupid people, maybe you just hate yourself.

[ZONEACE]

So get over yourself, God didn't mean it against homosexuals you get that right??
So whats the problem???

this is my exact point. it is not nescisarily intended agaisnt homosexuals but that connotation is still there, and people still, in the back of there mninds equate the word FAGGOT with homosexual with bad. the fact that you dont understand this is my whole point. This is the reason that gay teenaggers have such a high rate of suicide and depression, and well just homosexuals in general.

[Yoko Kurama]

I see what you mean and I said it was a mistake. I wouldn't have chosen the word but since it had been used I used it. Wouldn't have made my point if I had said Stupid Ass Dummy people wouldn't have got it. I made a post about Street in little italy and just said it pissed me off.

I totally agree with you accept the fact about suicide thats just your opinion.

In any case the correct response to someone spamming the board is:

1) capture the IP address and the username of the user
2) send the information to me and/or mith (possibly with a copy of the post or URL of the offending thread/post)
3) ignore him
4) if you are a mod and feel the thread/post should go away, delete it.

mith or I will ban the ip and user and possibly the e-mail address.

If it becomes a problem, we'll turn on the e-mail verification process so that someone MUST give us a valid e-mail address in order to register. Then we'll have a little more ability to trace things.

About insults, I don't think what you call someone is important, it's just the effect of intending insult that's important.

[MeMe]

Wow...gone a couple of days and I missed an uproar.

Can't say I'm unhappy about that.

[shadyforce]

Gasp! MeMe missed a couple of days??? That

is

cause for a uproar! Wait, I missed that same couple of days... hmm... coincidence? *eyes MeMe suspiciously*

I hear that. I think I'll go read a different thread now...

[mathcam]

On a side note, I now see all this person's posts are gone (right?). I wonder if this person was at all related to the FinalFear debacle of several months ago. He did vow to return, in very arch-nemesis kind of way.
