I just had to make this thread and say how utterly annoyed at what I have just read.
Incase you missed the 2 threads, it was about the same sex marriage threads.
Can I say as a gay man, how totally out of order they was. And although LGBT rights have came a very long way over the last 50 years, It seems there is still a long way still to go.
And can I also say, anyone who makes threads in public forums saying they are all for gay people but then they slate the very essence of it in such a way that is soo see through that makes my blood boil. Anyone could clearly see what those 2 posters was trying to do. And that in itself should be a bannable offence.
People like that yes they exist in our world. And all you can do is either joke to them or ignore them. But it just irates me that on the internet they feel that they can get away with this blatant homophobic nonsense.
What needs to happen is members who post homophobic content should be banned from being able to post. I saw that Bryan did reply and said that he shouldn't have posted his views. But regardless of views or not. Some views are best not to be said at all and people that do need to be banned because just saying not too, will not result in them stopping it. Future posts will always slip through the net. They can cleverly post in various other threads and just dig and dig at the same messages over and over.
Then that would then lead me to think and feel that CM isn't condoning this type of behaviour because they are not banning them for it. And basically just tell them to shut up in the politest way possible. In my opinion this subject is in the zero tolerant category, and thus should be treated to banning straight away without question. Failure to send this message to users and also to address this issue head on, and show your one step ahead of anyone who posts anything in the slightest bit homophobic then shows you are taking care of it, and shows you are caring for your gay members like myself.
So yeah. I also didn't mention the names of the 2 posters in question either. But you both know who you are and can i also just take this moment to post my reply too the first thread posted mid September which I totally missed as I have been totally busy. The fact that the user who has made just under 1200 posts in this forum. And he made that first thread because he had a letter through his mailbox. And then goes on to just post the negatives and not the positives in itself again was a blatant homophobic nonsense.
So again that member should be banned. Zero tolerance is key to dealing with this head on, BAN and everyone will be happy. even if that means long time members with homophobic views too. As soon as they even hint at any type of it that is not perceived to even be joking or not. But then that brings me to another long debate. Soo many people always joke about gay people still to this day, Joke as in the fact gay type of slurs in some posts etc etc. Then they post its joking etc etc. Or sarcasm?
So this is how people will always be able to get away with it because they will just say they are joking when in fact they might not be what so ever.
So yeah sorry everyone but I am really rattled from reading those 2 threads, I seriously am. I hope Bryan and the reps will decide to take a Zero Tolerance approach and make a new rule too about joking or slurring as regards to gay themes too.
Peace out.
