First swearing, and now homophobia.  I strongly feel that Señor Harte
should be officially reprimanded, at a minimum...

I think he should be repirmanded as well - only for swearing though.  His
response was very distasteful and out of line, though I don't think he can
or should be punished for an opinion about homosexuals.  Sure, its an
umpopular opinion among educated people (which I'd assume is most of
LUGNET), but no one should be reprimanded for simply expressing an opinion

Really? What if I were to use the "N" word? It's just an opinion, right?

I'm sure racist or religious slurs wouldn't go over well, and likewise,
neither should slurs about someone's sexual orientation. It's all hate
speech.
