Teen still being bullied after suicide

1. I think any of those slurs are wrong, was just using that one as an example. Maybe there should be enforcement against using Tony Homo. I've never thought about that before. I just find it kind of juvenile
2. I think the SHFT has "jumped the shark" if you will and I tend at most to just skim through it every other week or so
3. Sorry you felt bitter, but don't go SBF on us and think we turned a blind eye to it. Maybe we just missed it. Maybe one of the other mods spoke to AW (I don't know)
4. If you felt offended you should reach out to us. There is an option to report a post and you should PM us. We've said that time and again

No worries, I am off my soap box. After reading back through Matty did say enough is enough. I just felt more could have been done and that is just my opinion, in the end you guys are judge, jury and executioner on here.

Little old me is just going to go back to my BBQ pit and sulk.

Mredskins, just a heads up but you should change "applauded" to "appalled" in that post above, because even though they are spelled slightly similar, they are two different things. Just thought I'd let you know.

SS, the whole nicknames thing in the NFL is so lame. Deadskins, Foreskins, Cowgirls, Sheagles, Gints (and even midgets), Tony Homo, etc. is so lame. It's like going out of your way to try and insult them, and the insult is mediocre at best. I used to follow that line of thinking, and probably still do on occasion, but every time I think about it the more I realize how lame and unoriginal they are.

Also, I completely agree that the SHFT has reached its' expiration date. I still see funny stuff in there occasionally, but it's few and far between. Just put it out of its' misery.

As far as gay and butt pirate goes, I follow along the lines of hooskins. I've used both a lot in the past (although I've never used butt pirate to explicitly refer to a gay person like AW did), and to this day I still let it slip, but I'm in the process of trying to eliminate it from my vocabulary. I've always used gay to identify something I don't necessarily identify with, but I don't use it as a hurtful term, and lately I feel it's being overused so much by the male population that now I prefer to use more original terms.

Well I did say something...

We try to babysit the best we can here.

Thanks Mooby.

Yes Matty you did and I acknowledge it in my response to SS.

Ahhh so who's go the blind eye?

I just felt a little more needed to be done but again I am not the law maker here.

To me if this was my site that is a ban-able offense.

Don't assume things aren't dealt with behind the scenes.

And don't you ever notice how some people just disappear?

I hear you.That one sequence of posts just had really left a bitter taste in my mouth. Plus in my mind there was some build up to it as well. I just felt at the time gay slurs were being thrown around a bit to much on this board or if you you will taken to casually. That sequence of post was the straw that broke the camels back to me.

Ok enough said on my part. Great site, great posters and great moderators. At times we will never see eye to eye but I would honestly buy anyone on this board a beer if I meet you in person. I truley enjoy everyone on here.

In the future just shoot one of us a message if something is bothering you.

And I'm sure many of you who call Tony Romo Tony Homo don't think of it as a gay slur. But I thought I'd just put that out there.

I'm guilty of this as well. Of course I don't really think he is gay, and even if he was it wouldn't matter anyways. It's just in the heat of a rant, especially about the Cowboys QB, it's hard to always be politically correct. And it doesn't help that his real name makes the nickname just "too easy".

That being said, I will make an effort to stop using the term, as it is pretty juvenile.
