EPTMaybe because it's only funny the first few times. Spamming it and wasting space is just not cool, nor is it funny; it is just plain annoying. I remember the whole "Bisu build" craze... yeah it was funny the first few times, but man, EVERYONE was spamming that when Bisu played. I remember SpiritOfTheTunA spamming that on IRC every protoss game. It's just not funny...

I don't think that these words should ever be used as an insult or to mean something stupid that one disagrees with. Of course it has become part of our vernacular, but I've always seen TL as a fairly progressive place and it would be great to see these words disappear. Nope. That shit really doesn't matter. We have gay forum members, and they don't care, so why on earth do you? | ||

It's the same reasoning as banning "nigger" or "chink" or "gook". Simply having black or chinese or korean people who don't mind the word isn't justification for allowing it. it's not the same at all because 'gay' and 'fag' are acceptable vernacular everywhere they are two totally different things, you're basically saying a poke in the arm is the same as a punch in the face because theyre both physical contact and if one is allowed all forms should be allowed it's not unreasonable to expect people to use their heads here. racism stays the fuck off tl, period. 'gay' and 'fag' are completely unrelated, not even in the same ballpark | ||

'gay' and 'fag' are completely unrelated, not even in the same ballpark I'm pretty sure "fag" is considered unacceptable where I'm from, and certainly where I go to school. But then again I'm from the bay area (california) and I go to Oberlin so yeah | ||

Or posts that demean another argument by citing grammar mistakes? well, that has nothing to do with live report threads, but i do tend to send out warnings for that sort of thing | ||
