I don't know anyone on this board who's used 'gay' in the ironic sense, without knowing the person on the other end will be fine with it, or when one of the participants in the conversation is gay, both, or when both of those conditions are true.
I can't see the logic when there are thousands of people who are 'on the other end'.
Says Mr. Downright-Rude-if-you-didn't-know-him-from-HoP ?!
Mate, 90% of yours posts are scathingly sarcastic, yet I/we only know them to be sarcastic as we've been on HoP a while and know your "personality" (meh, need a better word).

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

You said it and Richee's not fine with it.
I don't think you and I having a public discussion about how "British Firespinners are all pricks" is covered under "No, it's cool, Meg's a British Fire Spinner and I we were having a private conversation even though we posted it on a public forum."

as durbs didn't quite say: Considering your 'sarcasm' has been so well disguised it insulted even your friends, you're one to talk.
I'm not addressing the comment, "you are gay" at these thousands of people, so they can't talk offense that way.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Already addressed the difference between being sarcastic and using someone's identity as an insult.
Already addressed the difference between joking with someone publicly and degrading a third parties identity.
You understand my point and on a fundamental level I'm sure you agree with some of it. But you kinda like the joke and you think it's funny even though you kinda know it's wrong so you're constructing an argument so that you can keep doing what you're doing.

Sometimes when I use the phrase "painfully straight" I'm saying " that persons actions resemble those associated with a grotesque caricature of straight people."
And sometimes when I say "dude that baton twirler is so gay" I'm saying " this persons actions resemble those associated with a grotesque caricature of gay people."
Straight and gay people both have great potential for stereotypical lame behavior. Often borrowing from the opposing camp. Why can't language reflect this?
