This thread is quite depressing, although what we have come to expect.
The general rule as far as I can discern, is that if administrator pops up in a thread, which happens very rarely, then it is time to call matters to a halt.
Those that don't, usually end up getting banned.

Wicked became good

It's a Friday - I've already spent a few hours having lunch down the pub - everything I say on a Friday is usually pointless.Originally posted by blacjac View PostI usually agree with most of what you say but this bit just seems pointless.
It's not illegal to call somebody gay either, or to take the piss out of someone for wearing eyeliner.

I believe in modern day usage, calling someone Gay is the equivalent to calling them (or it) naff or rubbish.
E.g that car is Gay
It shouldn't matter if someone calls you gay either for that reason or the inference that you are homosexual.
