? not that her comment was excusable... LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 08/09/2010 07:45:59 PM
but it doesn't sound like she meant to say anything negative about gay people. So, perhaps ill thought, but soul-searching-bad? I don't think her comment was THAT bad...if she'd said "Assholes" instead of "Faggots" no one would have cared, but her intended meaning would not have likely changed. She was celebrating her team's victory by insulting the other team. That's far from unusual or some cardinal sin against humanity.

Just because you search does not mean you re-evaluate. Phelix - 08/09/2010 08:45:31 PM 1090 Views
You have an odd definition of homophobe (or at least that's what your last paragraph implies). Legolas - 08/09/2010 10:04:52 PM 1181 Views
I was trying to use her words... Phelix - 08/09/2010 10:17:32 PM 1276 Views
Ah, okay. Her apology does seem rather clumsy, agreed there. Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:05:34 PM 1125 Views
Glad to clear up that confusion. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:11:35 PM 1291 Views
I don't think you should read too much in the exact wording of her apology. Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:24:21 PM 1189 Views
I'm horrible for tearing into the meaning of words. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:36:34 PM 1164 Views
Entirely agree *NM* ironclad - 08/09/2010 10:46:12 PM 628 Views
You should watch that Southpark episode where they change the meaning of the word faggot. Helene - 08/09/2010 09:24:16 PM 1059 Views
I've seen it, and it was funny. Phelix - 08/09/2010 09:40:43 PM 1269 Views
Suspect you need to consider the way the word is used in other countries. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 09:46:05 PM 1113 Views
I admit, I don't know many (any) kiwis personally (in person that is)... Phelix - 08/09/2010 09:52:45 PM 1106 Views
The insult word for homosexuals Downunder tends to be Fruit or Queer. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 09:58:04 PM 1299 Views
OK, I can see that. Phelix - 08/09/2010 10:09:16 PM 1182 Views
I think it's unfair to people to assume that there's some underlying bad nature... Rebekah - 08/09/2010 10:18:29 PM 1157 Views
I'm not assuming there's an underlying bad nature, I am saying she should look to see if it's there. Phelix - 08/09/2010 10:27:21 PM 1248 Views
And I'm saying that you're instantly looking on the negative side of things instead of Rebekah - 08/09/2010 10:46:11 PM 1117 Views
I don't think I'm looking at the negative side of things, merely saying that she needs to look. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:01:11 PM 1169 Views
Or, she was replying to interview questions and thinking on her feet. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:10:26 PM 1229 Views
This is my first encounter with her. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:24:42 PM 1374 Views
Don't forget Poofta!! LadyLorraine - 08/09/2010 10:57:00 PM 949 Views
Heh, I had forgotten that. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 10:58:53 PM 1211 Views
She said she needs to learn to think before she tweets lol Sidious - 08/09/2010 08:14:38 PM 1515 Views

mm, i doubt that would make people shut up LadyLorraine - 08/09/2010 08:44:29 PM 1058 Views
A concerted effort would do it... Phelix - 08/09/2010 08:47:50 PM 1137 Views
