dont fight bank and baker! youre both groovy, important dudes. good to see foqers feelings being protected, because he is, as pita would say, "just a pup". but foq i will give you something to think about: You surely must know youve expressed beliefs that might be offensive to other people regarding homosexuality (ie that it is immoral and a perversion of nature, whatever that means). approximately 10% of people are gay, and because we have 247 people registered on the site, you probably offended 24.7 of them on a personal level. Second, regarding the remaining 90% of people on the server, lets say each of them knows about 100 friends fairly well, and since 10% of their friends are likely to be gay, then 10 of each person's 100 friends are gay. Therefore, the 90% of people on this server who arent gay you have possibly offended people because they have gay friends. Third, if there are any people remaining whom you havent bugged, some of them may think your position offensive because they believe people should be free to be what they want to be (such is the case in my state).
Of course im overreacting, and you didnt really offend everybody, but just something to think about. ive got some potentially unpopular views too, mostly about race, and i know when to keep them to myself. in your case, you might want to be careful when you sally forth from the midwest or whatever other repressive, republican region you come from. then you might get harrassed less
There's nothing wrong with condeming homosexuality, it's just not politically correct anymore. I don't like homosexuality, but my stance is 'love the sinner hate the sin'. Also, I refuse to give up the right to use 'homo' as an insult.
