Language in the chat room

A few people have complained about the use of the word "ghey" or variations of it, as an insult or derogatory term in the chat room. The word "gay" is censored for a reason - it offends people. Please stop using the word altogether, as it offends both staff and members.

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]I dont mind the word nor do i find it offensive, i just really think its a shot at the person saying it and their intelligence as its not really a derogatory term. Anyone who uses it as an insult is really showing us that they have something against the gay community, which is not accepted in todays society really, and theirs no reason for it.

A persons sexual preferance has no impact on you what so ever, so there is no point to be insulted or using it as an insult.

I know my post is hard to understand to even myself but in a nutshell i just say we stop using it as an insult, anyone i see using it as an insult in the room will land a devoicing, time depending on the severity of the incident <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />.

Be warned. [/b][/i][/color][/font]

I stand up for the \"Gay\" lifestyle people. They get treated like <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... nsored.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(cens)\' /> in the world because people are prejiduce (sp?) and think that they are \"less\" then the one giving the gay person crap. I\'m glad to see the word \"Ghey\" removed from the channel.

[color=\"purple\"]On my planet we label people by sexual preference all the time.....like I\'m a Tadabada, then there\'s the FLairchee, intbru, etc etc....we do however have this ongoing argument as to whether people who are attracted to hackers can be classified as bada\'s or if they need a different category. Traditionally bada\'s are attracted to bad a$$\'s like bikers etc, Orthodox Zaburnians are very much against including hackers and bikers in the same category. This has caused some major conflicts. We have been so caught up in classifying every one into our multitudes of categories that we completely forgot to include gender prefferences......so if you\'re attracted to tall dark bad a$$\'s it doesn\'t matter if you\'re male or female you\'re still a tadabada... <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' /> I guess we\'ve never found this important enough to create a category for...[/color]
