    Knowing you wouldn't change whether or not I think use of the word gay as a pejorative--even in close company--is kind, responsible, or mature. My own brother does the same, and I find it unacceptable from him as well.

    And I'm a religious conservative, mind you, not a "progressive" or "SJW" at all.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Oh yeah, that actually sounds even more plausible.

    Because it's not directed at anybody gay or even used in the right form to affect a gay person. Look, I don't know what you want me to do here

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You do care. You pretend you don't care, you pretend you don't get upset about things, but you've spent a lot of your time on this forum getting into long fights about what you're called, whether it was from HCP or this discussion where you think (incorrectly) that you're being called a homophobe and you think (correctly) that you're being called ignorant.

    I know it's awesome to construct an image around not caring, lol, nothing gets to me, but that clearly isn't you and if things bother you, you should recognize when things bother other people and why.

    Like I said not everybody is gonna agree on everything. I don't understand a lot of shit people do either such as gang up on a guy who isn't homophobic but go after him like he is one but hey that's what people do these days. I could say I totally support gay people and even have a close friend who is gay and it doesn't matter, it isn't what it is. I just don't stand down

    So either you believe that female dogs bark less than male dogs or women don't speak their opinions.

    Either opinion doesn't earn you a Bad MoFo wallet.

    Are you trolling? Nobody is calling you homophobic. No one.

    I want you to stop using the word gay in an insulting, demeaning, degrading, denigrating, negative way. How was that not obvious? I even gave you a few acceptable alternatives.

    I care to an extent. I don't care what people think of me here but I wanna make shit clear. I care about a lot of shit other than that. I stand up for what I believe in. I mean yeah me using gay even around close friends is probably a bit immature. That's fine, I'm not perfect. However I think the important thing here is I'm not using it to try and hurt actual gay people. I go along with certain rules. If you're cool to me, I'm gonna be cool to you. Dviss has been a problem for me in the past so honestly I don't really care to sit there and be cool with him. HCP as well.

    Do you think, somehow, that changing one's behavior based on outside information is a form of weakness?

    Again, and this is at least the third time I've said this - no one here has called you homophobic. You continue to get mad and feel attacked by something that hasn't actually happened. You keep throwing that word out like it's some kind of buzzword to make everyone who disagrees with you look like they are narrow minded and make assumptions about you. We don't need to make assumptions. You make your thoughts perfectly clear.

    No, I love information. I'm open to it until you start trying to police words and act mightier than thou. I hate that shit and that's what people here are doing, they just don't see it.

    He usually means old. In this case he probably meant overly sensitive Portlandia "snowflakes". ;)
