If you folks think that humor is harmless, you aren't giving comedy the
credit it's due.  Should gay men ignore "fag" jokes, because they're just
"jokes?"

I've found that it is usually impossible to change people's minds on this
subject... no amount of reaching out helps, so why bother?  I couldn't care
less what any of you think, whether you consider me or anyone else
"politically correct" and therefore phony, self-righteous, prude, or
whatever.  I just don't like to see misogynist "humor" pass uncriticized,
and I think that it's worth my time and typing to say "this is
unacceptable," at least every once in a while, in the hopes that if
ignoramuses encounter resistance to their ignorance, they'll flaunt it less
often.  Mark [something or other] is likely to keep making clumsy, crude
cracks about Nazis, boring wives, and goodness knows what else to his
personal acquaintances.  On the LUG, though, I hope he'll keep his true
colors hidden.
