OT members are very touchy lately.
Homo is a gay slur. If I'm the only one who is willing to call HotRod out, so be it.
It's not a gay slur. Nor was what he said an attack on homosexuals or even rude or offensive. I guess in a setting like this, it could be seen as 'gay bashing' if there were any evidence that hotrod was really trying to be mean spirited or hurtful, but there isn't as far as I can see (just a playful poke at Warbler). Maybe I missed something important to the case or I'm just not reading it with the same tone you are.
That was not a playful poke at Warb, it was a deliberate attempt to piss him off and it worked.
And you're wrong about homo.
