Is Gayspeak Really A Safe Place?

[Camfer]

I am not really familiar with the term "safe space," so that's hard to answer, but yeah I feel like I can speak my mind here, and I do.

What I see is two people speaking their minds. [MENTION=24520]Pyromancer[/MENTION] challenged what [MENTION=24108]Doc[/MENTION] said, and Doc challenged what Pyromancer said. That to me is an even playing field where each party was able to express himself.

Doc attacked no one who is actually on here, but Pyromancer called Doc, who is on here, "self-loathing" and "allegedly gay."

So, maybe upon reflection Pyromancer can see that he could have been more careful to address the topic instead of going ad hominem while at the very same time questioning if this is a "safe space." From here, it looks like a case of a strong reaction.

And Doc, maybe you can understand how some people here don't really appreciate it when you call a branch of the armed services "faggoty, feminine." I question the need to insult the Air Force, but if you do want to do it, maybe a different choice of words would work better with this crowd. The use of sexist and homophobic language, while colorful, is a turn-off for many.

Hope you both stick around! I value both of you being on here.
