A good, close friend, or one of those sort-of-acquaintances that people categorize as friends for lack of a better word?

Example, shmexample. You could have made a conscious decision to just let Noc's comment slide, but you decided to do this the hard way and take it as an attack on you. And I don't believe he's the only one who makes "blanket statements about a point of view." We all do that, and calling someone else out on it doesn't make you look any better.

Let's play the equivalence game.
Let's pretend what he said was anti gay.

being gay is as confusing as believing the earth is flat

Would we tolerate this?
Pretty should we wouldn't.

All I did was ask him not to make purposefully inflammatory posts.

While that's true, why does that make what he did any more acceptable?
The fact that the response is "you should've let it slide" when Noc put the time and effort into typing a purposefully inflammatory response and "you've been given a warning" when I make a satirical equivalence for the purpose of argument is a clear double standard.

A good, close friend, one that I hold dear to my heart.

[mikey]

being gay IS confusing though, mostly cause I'm straight so I don't understand how it works

Sucks. I'm sorry to hear it, it's never good to lose a friend. Though it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, I extend all the condolences possible~

Noc put the time and effort into typing a purposefully inflammatory response

I am fairly certain that literally nobody else read that as a purposefully inflammatory response. Noc was expressing how atheism is confusing for him personally. Please stop taking every comment along those lines as a personal attack. If Noc had said the same thing using the word gay then the same actions would still be taken.

Basically this.

My apologies for thinking that something is inflammatory when it is equated to a conspiracy theory accepted by all educated people to be false.

[mikey]

you should really learn the difference bud
as a side note, when do I put time or effort into anything?  That pretty much renders your entire argument invalid

As a matter of fact, that does put you into a position where you could get yourself into a lot of trouble if you're not careful. So. Try to avoid that.

It honestly sounds to me like Dudeman is playing favorites because Noc says stuff worse than what PDS did on a daily basis and also I really don't think any of what PDS said was inappropriate

[MaestroUGC]

If you feel that somebody said something inappropriate or otherwise rule-braking please use the report button.

I thought mods were supposed to try and be unbiased? Noc and PDS literally did the same exact thing and only PDS gets warned because?

ninja'dBasically this.

How is it confusing? Take the way you feel about girls, and imagine that feeling that towards a guy. It's exactly the same feeling with a different gender on the other end. Oh, and being gay isn't all about sex if you're referring to something less pg13...

[mikey]

but how can you be attracted to guys when they're all gross n stuff

[FireArrow]

are you gross?

[SuperFireKirby]

guys are super gross

i should know, i'm a guy
