Boy, that's certainly not the reaction that I got from you over the use
of the word Fag. Do I sense a double standard here?
That's because calling someone a "fag" is somewhat like calling someone a
"nigger". You just don't do that unless you really want to offend
someone.
Ed and others feel exactly the same way about your use of the word F**K.
Anyway you were the one that said that it's only a word. Are you now saying
that some words are exceptable but some aren't? If so, then by who's standard?
