? 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 1160 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 1251 Views
I was trying to use her words... Phelix - 08/09/2010 10:17:32 PM 1357 Views
Ah, okay. Her apology does seem rather clumsy, agreed there. Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:05:34 PM 1193 Views
Glad to clear up that confusion. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:11:35 PM 1370 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 1274 Views
I'm horrible for tearing into the meaning of words. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:36:34 PM 1250 Views
Entirely agree *NM* ironclad - 08/09/2010 10:46:12 PM 665 Views
You should watch that Southpark episode where they change the meaning of the word faggot. Helene - 08/09/2010 09:24:16 PM 1173 Views
I've seen it, and it was funny. Phelix - 08/09/2010 09:40:43 PM 1338 Views
Suspect you need to consider the way the word is used in other countries. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 09:46:05 PM 1186 Views
I admit, I don't know many (any) kiwis personally (in person that is)... Phelix - 08/09/2010 09:52:45 PM 1176 Views
The insult word for homosexuals Downunder tends to be Fruit or Queer. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 09:58:04 PM 1377 Views
OK, I can see that. Phelix - 08/09/2010 10:09:16 PM 1267 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 1224 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 1326 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 1193 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 1246 Views
Or, she was replying to interview questions and thinking on her feet. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:10:26 PM 1302 Views
This is my first encounter with her. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:24:42 PM 1452 Views
Don't forget Poofta!! LadyLorraine - 08/09/2010 10:57:00 PM 1020 Views
Heh, I had forgotten that. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 10:58:53 PM 1311 Views
She said she needs to learn to think before she tweets lol Sidious - 08/09/2010 08:14:38 PM 1583 Views
Yes, but that's just a surface change. Phelix - 08/09/2010 08:20:59 PM 1415 Views

mm, i doubt that would make people shut up LadyLorraine - 08/09/2010 08:44:29 PM 1135 Views
A concerted effort would do it... Phelix - 08/09/2010 08:47:50 PM 1216 Views
