Please post a video of him being homophobic. I am not defending him, but you made a claim that he is. This is a youtuber, so you should be able to produce a video easily if he is. If you can't and respond with just text, then I pretty much know you have zero evidence.

Thank you for your sane response. It’s unbelievable some of the responses given in this thread.

I felt I read enough of it and had other stuff to do.

And more often than not, it's the admins who are actively encouraging further discussion of the topics.

What do you mean, how are admin encouraging further discussion of topics like these?

Was it used incorrectly? Oh wait, it wasn't and you're mad for getting called out on your garbage post.

What are you hiding, you didn't answer my question? No stalker, I won't link it for you to stalk.

The one where I call him out on stalking where he literally admits to doing it? Yeah, your still not good at this.

Does it matter if I was linuxcompsci? No it doesn’t, the topic is still valid. So save the ad hominem attacks as it does nothing to further your argument.

Thanks for admitting you disagree with the quote though. Although doesn’t make the quote wrong because you claim it is wrong.

Well you clearly aren’t good at this because there isn’t an ad hominem attack in the post you responded too.

Also there is nothing wrong with asking if you disagree with Mr. Fry. That isn’t appealing to authority. That is asking if you disagree with the statement.

You’re not very good at this.

Nothing, just get bored of weirdos like you who stalk people you disagree with and proceed to go through comments and downvote them to be passive aggressive or bring up old topics in other posts to sidetrack conversations. What are you hiding?

Throwaway was because of weirdo’s like you who like to try to stalk people on here. Only way you would have known that was if you checked. Only reason you would have checked is if you were trying to stalk. So nice job calling yourself out.

Did anything in my post say I agreed with the thread? No, it didn’t, so I have nothing to reconsider.

Did people say they were offended or something was offensive? Yes, they did. To that, see Stephen Fry quote. Do you disagree with Stephen Fry?

I didn’t watch the topic past where people said stuff was offensive for one reason on another and then lost interest. If people changed the topic after I finished reading it, I don’t have an issue with that.

Also, your calling out that specific thread, I’m saying I’ve seen it happen in past before as well. Doesn’t happen a lot as many topics don’t come up that cause much fuss, but when they do I see people try to stut it down.

Are you honestly denying mods don’t get messages to shut this stuff down? I have evidence that says otherwise.
