What a bizarre way to see it. [/quote] I guess the meaning is ambiguous out of context, but it is meant to imply that those riding the steamroller are gay, not the people it's rolling over. Is it homophobic to call yourself gay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 [quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1286222575' post='2474475'] The issue is that you are incapable of taking a joke and take things entirely too seriously. [/quote] You think so? Looks to me like the difference between you and me is that I can see that bigoted sentiment is still offensive even when presented in humorous form, whereas you think it's okay.

Bob Janova Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Every alliance accepts information, right Bilrow? Glad to see the NPO finally agrees that to do so is not a problem. (In case anyone didn't realise, this is material spied off our forums and put onto !@#$%*, and then circulated around various people by someone who spotted it there.) I'm sure Goldie's happy that a post he put so much effort into is being read by so many people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you're getting all this leaked and unfinished stuff, random harebrained ideas being thrown out there. You can't expect it all to be good. Gayroller is a sweet bloc name though.
