"Defending the anti-gay hate-speech?" Nope. I addressed his post just as directly as you did. I didn't feel the need to ask him to edit out everything offensive in order to have a conversation. I'm in agreement that the word "queer" isn't a good word to use, I don't use it, and our kids don't use it.

I just don't think it's so offensive as to require deletion (or an apology), but that's the finer point. Standards quickly apologized, and that goes to illustrate his good attitude. I think it's odd that you can't seem to have a decent conversation without trying to manipulate all the posts to reflect your delicate sensibilities. Obviously I'm not only referring to this thread, but repetitive behavior on your part. Live and let live, NOW. It's a good way to approach conversations in particular.
