Alright, I'm sick of this bullshit. A point is NOT mute. The word is MOOT!! Moot!!!! M-O-O-T! Where people get off using the word 'mute' about points is beyond me. -The word police- >>> Chris Stratton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/12/00 01:25PM >>> the fact that either of you are offended is a sign of your own weaknesses and insecurities..if that post was intended for you and said "robert and steven are stupid fucking homos" then i could understand your point...basically it was a conversation between justin and I that should have been private..we have both since moved long on from that point after realizing that our hockey debate was getting way off topic..anyways..that is all a mute point..my current point is this : if it's not directed towards you don't get your panties in a wad over it... chris -----Original Message----- From: steven hahnel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MMouse]: [OT]!!!!!!!!!!!!! > robert- tired of people using gay as a derogatory term. > before 10 people jump down your throat and try to validate their usage of that term with the "well, its just how people talk, you cant say its wrong since people use words differently and calling people on it is ineffectual" explanation, i should just say that i totally agree with you. some people are over the top offensive about it and dont seem to recognize passive homophobia (oh boy, i know im gonna get it for that one!) when they see it. or, maybe they do and just dont want to own up to their fratboy-esque bullshit. glad someone else agrees with me.
