Hey Dello . . .

I can't believe you reported this thread, tac.

Mate, I know you take a hard line on homophobic language, and I was just trying to contact you to give you the heads up. I would have PMed, but I couldn't . . .

Attention seeking cockhead.

See, you can be as rude as you like without resorting to homophobic language . . .

I like the way you've gone back and edited all your own "homophobic" comments.

Ummm . . . I haven't edited anything.

Oh no, you haven't edited. Dello's just deleted all of mine and Danny's posts that had the word "gay" in them.

It's that time again:

There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach/
but alas I cannot swim.

You're welcome.

"gay" wasn't the term, LLL . . . and you can hardly complain as I warned you that you were being over the top . . . (going on what Dello had said on other threads recently) . . . but you were too intent on scoring a cheap point.

Mate, abuse me all you like, water off a duck's back, but homophobic language is not acceptable . . .

What do you mean "gay" wasn't the term. What term did I use?

Are you actually serious? When Dello comes on, he can post my comments and then we'll see if there was anything even slightly homophobic. You'd have to be some sort of dribbling prune to think that there was.

And where have I abused you, you stupid tree? See. You pretend I'm abusing you and then I end up abusing you because you pretended I was abusing you.

Furriner - Ever listened to Laura Marling? She's got a pretty nifty album called "alas I cannot swim".

LLL, never heard of her. Will look her up.

LLL, you used lots of different ways of decribing homosexuals and homosexuals acts and implied in the way that you used them that there was some inherently 'wrong' about the terms by using them as insults.

I don't know why the thread has been locked though when the posts have been changed, seems a bit OTT.

FFS, is this a copy cat "Demelza defends taipan" situation?

Erm, no I didn't. I can't remember my exact words but I said "Imagine if the Australian cricket team and one of the Aussie rules sides had a gay-off - Mark Nicholas would sponsor of course".

Nowhere do I imply that it's "wrong". That's your own twisted perception. In fact, it suggests that you have those thoughts more than me.

Welcome to C4 everyone.

So a reported thread automatically leads to a 'lockdown' even if the editor himself thinks the 'reporter' is a chicken shit?

LLL, I'm not really defending reporting the posts, it's not something I'd do.

But I do know that Dello has removed other posts and given warnings to people that have used a term that was insulting to homosexual men and the terms you used were of a similar vein. So Dello does need to be even handed.
