Bump this thread every time Jake is a worthless, hateful, ignorant little fuckin
Bad day, Kissinger?
Not trying to be mean, just expressing mild concern and pointing out that it usually takes more than an ill-advised joke on a forum to make someone fly off the handle like that, regardless of which buttons it presses.
Case in point: Chaz.
No, see, here's the thing: he called me a homo. It was a joke, fine, whatever, but I don't know Jake. He is not my friend. He doesn't get to do that. So I responded with a simple "Fuck you." He continued to insult me, saying he could've gone after some of my other "character flaws" instead of going for the homo thing. But even there, he's still telling me that my sexuality is a flaw, among my many other flaws. That it's something I should be ashamed of. I responded again, letting him know that it was coming off as bigoted and letting him know that yes, it did get under my skin.
Cut to this thread, where he continues to say "oh it was just a joke" shit. CDS tries to stick up for me, and Jake says that he still stands by what he said. This sent me over the edge.
I knew it was a joke. It was plainly obvious. But it was a mean-spirited, bigoted joke directed right at me. As you can imagine, that's a bit of a soft spot. And he just kept poking it and poking it.
No, look, see, I just really don't like it when someone tries to use my sexuality to insult me.
"The last thing I want is to be is bigoted or homophobic or to stereotype someone in any way. I'm just saying you talk like a homo."
If that sets you off as the insult from doom, I don't know how you function in day-to-day life, especially considering how obvious a joke it is.[/QUOTE]

GasBandit, are you one of those people who doesn't understand why it's okay for black people to say the word "******" but not white people?
