To my mind that is a totally innocuous post, but nonetheless it kicked off some very unpleasant exchanges, resulting in the permanent loss of two posters, and a seven day ban of another, who may yet request to be deleted permanently.Homophobes are allowed to protest at Pride and the Orange Order are allowed their grubby little parades every July. Funny where the line is drawn.
The only reason I can see that such an innocuous and relevant post attracted such ire, is because it was posted by somebody people don't like because of previous interactions on boards.
Please don't bring that shit here. Some posters seem to think the lighter touch modding here extends to abusing and bullying posters who slighted you on boards.
You couldn't be more wrong. The leeway you get here is to allow open discussion of subjects and opinions that tend to be censored or shouted down on other forums.
Attack the post, not the poster and don't be a dick. If you want to get a clique going to gang up on posters you dislike, go back to boards, you're not welcome here.
