I'm not going to argue with you. I'm a moderator and my request is that "gay" not be used in a derrogetory manner.
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

Gal, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but well, ummm....If he didn't know or mean for it to contain the word gay in a derrogatory manner, well, then how is that his fault? Furthermore, just "because [you're] the moderator" isn't in my view, a legitimate reason to censor someone, for any reason.

I suppose you didn't visit the link. I'm not going to repost is, but it was a "cute" animation of two emo boys. One has a strangely large penis drawn onto him and then ejaculates onto the others face in a "humerous" animated manner. Then the words "Emo Is Gay" Flash across the screen. The link shouldn't have been posted in the first place.

Well now that you have said that I will not visit the link but really, Its no worse than most of the horrible poems posted on YWS. If his opinion is that Emo is gay, let him have it.

Besides the fact that ^^ is sick, 'gay' and 'emo' are two different things...

Guys, it was a Mod's descision. Live with it.

The link was grotesquely un-apropriate, and offensive to several groups of people.

Aside from the cartoon erection and ejaculate to another man's face... No, not aside from that. You people should know better than to put something like that up here.

He CAN have it, but displaying images like that are not apropriate, and are expressly forbidden within the rules. You'd know that, if you'd actually read them.

I'm not defending his posting of that link, im just saying that Gal should reprimand him for that, not for "posting the word gay".

She's a mod, and you are not. Live with it or leave.

Come on guys, just chill a sec. Backing up my fellow Mod's position, Gal was right to have deleted the link. It was innaproriate for this site, and violates the rules. Not to mention it was totally disgusting.

Branden, he wasn't telling you what to do, he gave you a (very steep) choice. The best idea is just to leave this lie--the offending link has been deleted--let the past stay that way.
