hmmmmmm.... so who is going to address abortion now?

And what about religion? Or taxes? Who here is married?

Do you think marriage is more about laws or is it about love?



BTW
Yes I agree with Jafo, the use of the wrod as a comment to note the work or catagorizing the designer is not welcome. If there needs to be something said, make it constructive.

Orion, it was meant for the newbies. You can't always go by the userID. Mine is deceiving. While it wouldn't be a low as yours it would have been 15023. It seems that after 300,000 the language has been a lot rougher and more policing has been needed. Oh well.

I'm in the 160,000's

I am so old.

Being a Christain my views are somewhat different. I shall not share my views here. I do agree that nobody should be made fun of or insulted for their choice of lifestyle.

Commenting and posting are priviledges, not rights.

We do have a level between exile and citizen called visitor. Those who show that they can't comment reasonably on other people's work will simply lose the priviledge of being able to comment.

I love threats. Nothing I have said deserves exile. But then again my wife also has a account so....

I'm with kona in that my views as a chrisitian are totally different, which as it is has no baring on judging artistry and the skinning world as a whole, but the same remains that using anything less the constructive when describing someones work should not and defintely will not be tolerated. Besides 'grown-ups' being on this site 24/7 their are also children, teens and the like which do not need another portal influecing them on this type of behavior or thinking. Back to my rendering

You can be as Christian as Jesus Himself... but that doesn't mean somebody saying, "Jeez, this is so gay.." is something to be said or agreed with.

Neither is calling someone gay because of the work that has been posted. Not only does it show lack of intellegence, it doesn't have anything to do with the work at hand. Critisizing is one thing, belittling is another.

"the use of the word 'gay' in a comment by anyone is meant as derogatory, sexist and/or humiliating.."

Oh, for Pete Sake ppl, grow up. >

Give me back my captive leprechauns Old Crab, or we will declare war on you with major Lucky Charms booby trapped bomb packages.....

Any pots o' gold you find you can keep, but set my people free......

in the words of that all too forgotten hero(sic), 'why can't we all just get along?' you all are being all too ***!

Could of been worst they could have meant "gray"

somebody been readin' some gray thread items.......

I believe that the owners of this website have the right to choose not to allow deflamitory words, phrases, or comments on their website. Anyone that wants to make such comments have the right to get their own website to do so.

missed the point here, but when das this threat become funny?
Sorry, some mysteriouse way seriouse threaths always become funny...

I would have to agree with Jafo on this one.....I would take offense to such language on comments. Gay or not, I don't appreciate things being thrown in my face. American Slang or not, the 'gay' community does not appreciate the language used to describe anything other than a persons lifestyle. Cleary you cannot describe a piece of art as being "gay." This is actually a very big issue which does not get talked about much. Sexual Preference has no place on the site as the site pertains to art and not lifestyles. You can believe that its a "Freedom of Speech" issue, when actually, it's something that can make many people uncomfortable. All I can say is, Think before you speak. You may mean well, but in the end, you're asking for more trouble than it's worth.......

let's see.. don't use the word 'gay' in a comment. and if you use the word 'gray', double, triple, and quadruple check your post before you hit submit. Got it.

"Think before you speak. You may mean well, but in the end, you're asking for more trouble than it's worth......."

No, you are giving this person to big of a benefit of a doubt...
Insulting comments are just plain bad manners, bad judgement, hostile activity and as such should not
be tolerated, taken apart and cleansed, excused or otherwise put up with.

Believe me as a past offender, it pays to think before you type no matter how wasted you may be at the time..

And I mean wasted in a purely legal fashion of course....

I'll say it again.
I've NEVER used the word "gay" in any of my posts decides this thread.
A little admin policing never hurt anyone.
This is a family site.

KONA!!!!!

WHAT?

I'm just trying to agree with everyone!!!
