    How is that dissing? You'd probably love it if it were done to you.

    Oh, I see. You are a homophobe and assume Canzano is.

    I'm really surprised. (sarcasm)

    Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3

    Not to sound rude here, but since you are lesbian, would you enjoy a dick in your mouth? I'm guessing not. It would be uncomfortable and gross. It's the same as telling somebody to "eat shit" or "fuck a goat." Unless you enjoy eating shit or are into bestiality, I would consider those as insults as well. Telling a straight man to "suck a dick" is not any way being a homophobe.

    Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3

    It's a classic overreaction; just because I don't like to do something doesn't mean I hate everything associated with it, or fear the action... For example...

    "Go eat a green tomato!"

    "I'd prefer to eat a red one."

    "Why do you hate green vegetables?"

    "Tomatoes are fruits."

    "Homophobe!"

    :D

    Oh look, there was the turnoff for the high road... why do people always fail to take it?

    Hopefully this won't escalate too far; crandc is good people and has good love for the Blazers too.

    Even if you feel crandc was unfair, homophobic comments are still against the rules.

    If he were made to suck a dick he'd probably like it?

    He's not telling Canzano to get his dick sucked, notice.

    I guess my question would be, how would you take it if someone ordered you to perform fellatio? Would you welcome the suggestion, since it would be in opposition to your sexual preference?

    Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3

    Now can we go back to Canzano's "genius"?

    Saying that the implication that a man "sucks dick" is an insult (not because of the act but because it's a man doing it) sounds pretty homophobic to me.

    Would you think your dick is the same as shit?

    Saying "eat shit" is generic. Gross but not a slur.

    it's the same thing. it's a throw-away insult.

    you are to lesbians, what Jesse Jackson is to blacks. everything has to be a huge scandal.

    Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3

    It seems to me that the reactions to crandc are much more OH NOES dramatic than crandc's rather straightforward insult (which was a reaction to a slight). She's not the one escalating this thread to a "huge scandal"... you guys are.

    In other words: you're acting like a bunch of jackasses.
