RudeBoy, I’ve never read any other threads by you so I’m not sure what the references to your forum behaviour are about. I will say that I can see where you’re coming from here though.
It’s that whole ‘if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem’ thing. I think you’re right to speak up and challenge things, even if the OP didn’t actually mean any offence.
For example some of my colleagues say ‘**** Shop’. Whilst they may not mean to offend, ultimately I feel I have to say something. If we don’t challenge the ‘little’ things like this, then how are we ever going to sort this world out.
Swadey – I am in no way inferring you are homophobic (or indeed racist) in any way! Sorry to hear about the incident in general. Hopefully there’s some karma at work somewhere and they’re having something unpleasant done to them 😉
