Much like the pops you have had against this forum elsewhere.
And incidentally, I couldn't care less about either side of the arguement on these pages as it is little more than petty squabbling over something that in no way merits such attention. However, I do draw the line at a form of sexuality being used as a derogatory term in the manner of a 13 year old boy.
I have no more to say.
So you continue to dig your heel into us, while refusing to answer our response: "So, it is good forum etiquette is it to hurl highly offensive abuse at performers is it ? Because that is where this series of posts started."
You wish to ciriticise us for responding to Abuse, but you refuse to criticise the Abusers, having yourself posted the Forum Rule which prohibits abuse.
And your snide 13 year old remark is posted in defiance of: [a] the Wikipedia article on the use of the word 'Gay', which we brought to your attention, and [b] our clear answer to your question about what actual Gay performers think of its use.
You're not obliged to respond. We can all simply get back to having fun.

My post answered my stance in regards to the rest of the goings on in this thread - the fact is my point is in regards to the terms you use.
This was also posted before I saw your other post on the matter - yet would have made not one bit of difference as I do not rely on wikipedia to form the basis of my opinion on something. The youth of today can claim the word means whatever they like, but I was of the opinion you had to be an adult to join here.
May I suggest, rather than feeling the need to perpetually argue your point ad nauseum, you would perhaps be better served ignoring what you class as abusive posts, and instead rely on the quality of your companys work to prove your point. This would at least show that you at least have confidence in its quality.
Now this will be my final point. You would perhaps be better served taking it as a point of finality to your posts on the matter as well.

The 'youth of today' is not responsible for "the campaign against homophobia was launched in Britain under the slogan "homophobia is gay"." The adult gay community is. And how do you know that the person posting this on behalf of BB is not himself gay hmmm ?
We understand you felt offended by our use of the word. We have now traded some posts so that you have awareness that our use is not considered offensive by the gay community. You can choose to continue to regard yourself as offended for some other reason.
Or we can put the matter down to a misunderstanding. How's that ?
