YOUR conclusion can't lead to an universal truth! :nono: ("As a result, ...")

Your sexual orientation makes a better person out of you? Cmon...

I don't care about the sexual orientation of anybody btw.

But i do really get your point: I will try to get used to using the words shitty and crappy in the future instead of gay.

It's not the sexual orientation, but being on the receiving end of harassment more often than seemingly heterosexual people. IF you want to insult someone or something, please do so without simultaneously insulting an entire minority.

We've updated our rules accordingly:
We don't tolerate the bashing of any religious, gender, racial or sexual orientation [minority] group in players' ingame or msg board communications.
Please use other words, even if you didn't mean it in a homophobic way at all. There are lots of other, lesser mistakable words. English offers at least half a million words AFAIK, there should be at least one suiting your needs.
