Heh.
Since you didn't give the reason I objected to the phrase, your point is moot.
Yeah, I did. Even if I didn't, so what? "I won't tolerate X" is the point. "I won't tolerate X, because..." doesn't change the point. But, either way, I quoted your stated reason ("because").

And no, you said nothing about that.
Yeah, I did. No wonder we can't understand each other. I say sumthin, you claim I never said it. Do you just respond wthout readin, that it?

Why would TroutBum's sexuality be even remotely relevant?
Unless intended meaning were completely irrelevant and the very WORD, all by itself, was deemed an insult (which seems to be EXACTLY how some people think), why WOULDN'T it be relevant.
I have heard it claimed that is a "slur" to refer to blacks as "colored people." If such a claim is made, do you think it might be revelvant if the speaker were the head of the NAACP? I know you if say "colored people" is a slur, then you can't even begin to conceive that it could EVER NOT be a slur, but try hard, eh?
Champions of a group often want to adopt a "there aint no difference between" dogma with a devotion so pronounced that it just becomes plumb stupid, eh?
There aint NO difference between (insert your constrast here, men and women. blacks and whites, gays and straights, whatever), I tellya! None. Zilcho. Nada, fool.
Kinda amusin, actually.
