Comments:
madgoody said this in game chat, "Nah hes just some little gay boy who threw his toys out the pram"

Wow. Really? I can't stand bigotry, either....but that's just silly. And I don't even know madgoody. If he'd said, "He's just some little fat boy"...or "white boy"...or "Christian boy",...or "Jewish boy", you wouldn't have cared. I guess hypersensitivity has reached even Conquer Club. O well, I guess that's the world we live in. When you get a chance, go look up the word bigotry. I think you'll see what this guy said hardly fits that category.

Have a good one,

Tim

this is where i encourage you to look at a game chat where i get pissed.

He is using it in a derogatory manner and as an insult. This is bigotry. You may have a different scale, but technically it is bigotry.

You need to get out and find yourself a life!

Technically you're a wimp. Man up a little and use the foe list if you have such big problems with human interaction. You have to realize that you'll always get the opportunity to get upset, to get offended, to get pissed off etc. due to what other people say and do. To file reports like this is just silly.

EDIT: LOL, just checked your avatar. Jez. Here you go wanna flash a political anti-religious logo - which I'm sure plenty of idiots could take offence from - but you reserve the right for yourself to be absolutely protected from having someone offending you. Such bs. Get back into the atheist closet mate and stop filing frivolous reports.

I disagree there are pleanty of other things to call someone like a c*** for example you dont have to be bigoted about it. The site needs to make a decision, if this is ok, then we can all do it and anyone who files a report in the future would be warned for a spurious report or alternatively if its not ok then they get a warning about future conduct. Personally i dont find it offensive, someone called me a faggot in a game a few weeks ago and i brush it off but in this diverse world we live in, it is not acceptable in the real world, then why should it be acceptable here. Its a form of cyber bullying if you ask me.

It's not an anti-religious avatar. The avatar is meant for Atheist who are, for whatever reason, not wanting to be public with their beliefs.

And I understand why many of you think I am being overly dramatic here. Well, honestly I did not take offense to the statement, I could care less about what madgoody thinks of me, I myself am not a homosexual, however I know many who are and I have seen first hand the bullying many of them have received and the consequences of the bullying

Where is the line between ok and not ok with statements like these. I am sure that any homosexual would find these offensive and if nothing is done about it, then the problem will continue.

LOL. As the German fly attendant told me when I asked for a beer last week, "But of course..."

I would urge you to be reasonable.

- If you make an off hand remark, would you want people to scream and behave like total jerks telling you what an asshole you are? Probably not.
- If you, on the other hand, behave like a complete ass continuously cursing at someone. Well, then you probably realize yourself that you have something coming.

ok then. I guess some people are more upset about this being reported in this forum than the actual comment. I am not by any means trying to get madgoody removed from the site, either temporarily or permanently. This is just not something I like to see in the chat. Yes, I have already placed madgoody on my foe list so I do not have to play with him anymore. However, a warning or whatever action that is taken (if any) may cause madgoody or any other player to think twice before they attempt to insult someone.

I could care less if he uses other ways to insult me, but when you try to degrade someone by using slurs referring to anyone's sexual orientation, religion, race, etc... it is unacceptable, no matter how slight or severe the case is.

madgoody has been warned.

I called in an expert! "Jerry" Yes, I'm a cop and one of the guys I partner up ( hold the laughter) with on occasion is gay. I don't really give a rat's ass if he's gay cause he's a good officer... Anyway, I ask him to have a look at this and all he says is..."these little bitches get their feelings hurt too damn easy". So, I ask him...would you be offended? He just rolls his eyes and said, "I probably offend you more than anyone could ever offend me." ...we laughed and he pranced out of the room. So, there ya have it! Gay guy=NOT offended. Madgoody, your off the hook! superkeener, you are on whiney probation. Man, I feel better! Cheers!

He's already been warned by an administrator. So Madgoody is not off the hook By the way, I am also gay. Taking a poll from 1 gay guy asking if they find this offensive does NOT represent the whole gay population. I actually find this stuff offensive, because I hear it a lot from rednecks in my town.

Seriously? As a white, straight, police officer...I get called names, cussed at, lied about...all the time. TFO, you just proved my point: If you are gay and choose to have that victim mindset, you have the market cornered on being "offended". Not only is your hyper-sensitive mind constantly being protected by the PC police, your are allowed to name call with immunity.

TFO, I DON'T CARE if you are gay. As a matter of fact, I'd give my life to protect you from a REAL threat. But, this sub-culture of weak-minded victims we've created is just unhealthy. If you want real liberation, quit being an emotional victim. My previous post involving "Jerry" was real...but it was also done in fun to lighten things up. But, if you asked Jerry, he'd tell you he represents a whole lot more than 1 guy.

Peace,

Tim

I am offended when I'm called a Redneck......in the modern usage of the term ...but then again oh so proud
If you can't handle the fire, get out of the kitchen !

Dude TFO don't be talking out of both sides of your ass saying "gay boy" is bad and using "redneck" in a derogatory way.
