Subject: RE: BS: Non-Non-posting of judgements week
*sigh*...well, I am personally sad that words like 'gay' and 'queer' have gained that sort of status. They are perfectly good words, and need to read in context. And, in context, I did not 'call' anyone anything...'queer' modifies 'quotes', and merely means 'strange' and 'unusual'. I did not even consider the sexual connotation of that word when I concocted that silly post!
I DO appreciate the need to be careful how one's posts appear, and I try hard to avoid misunderstandings. I have no intent to malign or offend any group.
