Well even saying it is wrong might be offensive to gay people or friends of gay people, because it might sound like gay people have inferior rights.

I think it should still be permitted that it be said; perhaps someone can find a less offensive way than as in my example to say it. :/
It's not a viewpoint I agree with, not at all, but saying that one isn't allowed to carefully state one's opinion seems to border on outright censorship, IMO.

Yeah it definitively needs to be said in a way that is less offensive as Jkag's. For example your comment should be prefixed with a comment saying you haev nothing against gay people. I just think that on Omni, bigotry should be frowned upon.

I read [present tense] this and agree wholeheartedly :)
Okay, we have two people in concord, who's next? ;D

From Google: "concord: 1. Agreement or harmony between people or groups."
Basically, you and I are in agreement about this. (inasmuch as I can tell) :)

Banned from IRC for his innapropriate behavior (not just the gay comment, but him saying he doesn't care if people get offended and him being rude in general to people there), and banned from the forums for his ragequit for the sole purpose of starting more drama

I bet they last a week since it's his first ban and the nDoom policy isn't in effect. Maybe it's shorter, though. I just saw the +b and know he was banned on the site too.

Since you ask, yes, he has a 7-day ban for what should be obvious reasons.
Just as a warning, don't bash his actions, as this won't help anything ;) (not to mention that several others have already done so <_<)

What's the nDoom policy?

Yeah, sorry if I was somewhat harsh at my last post, but one thing sure it generated a lot of controversy. And yep, 7-day ban on the forums and IRC.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

During certain parts of the year, where a lot of troublesome users joins, rules are enforced more strictly and to prevent people from other calc sites from telling us how to run our site, we also add an extra rule disallowing others from trying to decide how Omni should be ran.

This is usually active during parts of the Summer and late Fall. It was active last Spring too, though, because of a troll invasion caused by nDoom (TI-Nspire port of DOOM) being featured on a troll site.

Situation is dealt with for the most part, locking the thread for now. Jkag is getting a conditional unban. Jkag is still banned from IRC though for the time being.
