Yeah, I'm offended by such a remark. It's they're (or they are) gay...

Actually, they're kind of fun in a way. If you knew the work involved in such "gay" things, you'd be more appreciative of them. As you obviously don't have a clue, they are as "gay" as mathematics, history, science, etc.

In other words, useless to the clueless...

I really don't find your post funny at all... even if it was meant as a joke.

They're pretty nifty really, shame it's just one off animations and the don't respond after that, but it's about the best use of flash i've seen in a while.

they're quite cool.
they don't serve any real purpose except for being a bit of eye candy, but that's just the same as any other artform (except heavy metal \../)

Dude,

Chill out. When you attack a well respected member like trickykid you are also attacking all of his friends. I suggest you refrain from name calling unless you want booted off of this site

I cannot do it, however many folks could if you keep provoking them.

Peace,
Whitehat

Instead of breaking our rules in calling me names and showing disrespect, you should have just emailed me directly or the site admin if you have a problem with me and my actions that I felt were necessary not to offend others in the 2nd post that was posted above.

This post has been reported and you have been warned. Too many warning can lead to losing privileges with the use of this site.

Regards.

The Master/Slave reference is a known and long used technical term.

Whereas the reference to "gay" that triggered this whole thing wasn't for any of the definitions you listed...it was clearly used as a derogatory term which is frankly the sign of an immature and sexually insecure person.

Tricky was right to call him on it.

trickykid · 11-28-2003, 12:17 PM

Also just to mention, as the word "gay" can mean many different things, if you notice my first response was to "refrain from using words that others might find offensive" in which this word can, if used improperly like it was since the nature and such a short response phrase.

Regards.

PS. Thank you to the others that are well aware of why I posted what I did to only make others aware when choosing descriptive words in their posts.

It would appear that Megamieuwsel was the only person who didn't see any offense in the rather flammable post. But instead of posting a clever rebuttal we see more name-calling and flame-bait.

If you're in the mood for a hissy-fit/flame-fest, take it somewhere else.
