Wow. Ok.

You seem like a classic troll but I'll indulge you in this one and respond.

First question would be, what are you, as a straight person, doing on a queer forum? [probable answer:trolling]
Second question, why do you need or think a "straight" corner would be beneficial to you?

If you can come up with a rational, non-trolling reason for the above two questions, I'm sure you wouldn't be banned.

For me, this is the hypothetical situation where your parallel would be applicable and valid:

You are raised by gay parents in the Castro district of San Francisco, they don't allow you to leave this area, you have no access to any media aside from gay TV shows, films and news (with about 0.001% straight content) so you join this hypothetical queer forum since these are the only things you know and there are only a handful of straight people there, therefore you feel slightly isolated and wouldn't mind sharing things with people who are like you and would therefore probably be interested in reading about things that are not so very interesting for your surroundings, since they are, you know, predominantly gay.

Reality:
You are a straight troll who lives in a predominantly heterosexual world and is therefore not isolated from anything since your whole surrounding reflects your sexual reality and who would join a queer forum just to troll on queer people since there is no valid reason why: a) you would join a queer forum and b) why you would need to open a "straight" corner on this queer forum.

/EOD.

Interesting, more trolls.
I don't find this particularly surprising, since it's the internet, what I find a little disconcerting is the apparent lack of moderation here, if I may be a little critical with the current version of musicbanter.

It would be perfect if you could moderate your own threads at least but not likely I guess.

To answer your "serious" query, try replacing the F-word with the N-word, see how many laughs you get. :/

Not everyone is a troll, adi.
Nea's question seems to be honest.
Dwn is not a troll either.
This thread is and will stay moderated and believe me, genuinely homophobic **** will not be tolerated.
Bants and discussions, even kinda dumb ones, will not be interfered with, though.

I really don't see how a question about the allowability to use the F-word in 2018 could possibly be genuine.

And you think that posting what are clearly meant to be offensive gay stereotypes/jokes that contribute nothing to this thread, is not trolling?

Sorry, that seems like poor standards of moderation to me.

If you want to make this place attractive to mature and productive discussion and posters, you need to set your bar higher methinks. :/

I'm afraid we're semi-mature and semi-productive at discussions at best.
If you'd know the members better you'd probably react differently. Probably not.

Ok, my bad, carry on.

It is a shame that this thread is already just 5 pages of pointless bickering.

And the suggestion that creating a gay thread at a a predominantly straight forum would be equivalent to creating a straight thread at a gay forum is either ignorant or intellectually dishonest.

Am I reading the intentions behind some of the complaints wrong, or are some people here feeling offended that gay people don't want to talk to them or something? The point of a queer thread wouldn't be to exclude straight people, but to bring people who share a minority issue together so they can talk about it.

grindy

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed by Dwn. He's usually better than that. That analogy is intellectually lazy at best.
