Good point. I was actually looking at it from the other point of view.
By calling them that (loudly in my head), I am using probably the
worst insult they could think of to call them.

Is it fair that radical Islamists (and radical religious folk of many
stripes) think that label is about the worst there is. Nope. If
calling them left-handed, or "sandal-face" would make them angry, I
would switch my mental name calling in a second.

Just as a note, I don't use the "faggot" word often. And never in
off-handedly in anger. (A gay friend sometimes recieves it during
freidnly banter - but I have his permission)
