Doesn't the link do that justice? Doesn't the fact that he flipped out over a dollar like an idiot prove the point all and well enough on its own?

Yes or no?

It surely does -- so there's no reason at ALL to include "fairy fair" except to laugh at him and take a swipe at him for being gay.

He's an a$shole because he acted like an a$shole, not because he did it while being a "fairy."

I agree completely but Wingnut was clearly joking and meant no ill will towards you or gays in general.

And really have you read some of his previous posts? He's trolling.

I don't disagree -- I've met him, and we get along just fine, so it wasn't a matter of inferring ill will.

And while the post certainly was obviously not going all jw"slaughter the gays"kniska on the DT community, it's just f*cking unnecessary, and it's not about having a sense of humor or playing a victim.

Just like people who want to rip Obama to shreds should do so because of what he does without adding a "joke" about him being Black, this article would've gotten a perfectly solid response all by itself, because Frank is insufferable on the merits of the insufferable way he always acts and nothing more. Perhaps that's unconventional and I shouldn't take it seriously in a freaking internet message board, but attack what people think and what they do, not who they are.

Ever since gays came dressed up as priests, nuns and alter boys at pride parades fairy-fare jokes are fair. IMO
Of course I'm Catholic and a victim of the 'victims'

and remember this joker's room-mate ran a gay brothel out of the 'back-door' of Frank's townhome w/o him knowing it?

BTW I do think Frank should be able to marry his 'madam' and be able to adopt children and decide when the plug is pulled etc etc.

I thought it was funny "fairy fair" LOL . I guess I must be one of those stone hard dykes who dont get offended easily. Or maybe it was really funny.

I can't disagree entirely with what you're saying but when you're dealing with the internet this place is like a Disney movie compared to most forums.

Maybe I'm too desensitized but it really didn't seem like a big deal...just someone being a jackass. What else is new?

Wingnut always has something to say about gays. He is a troll. I give him credit for the clever terminology, but his actual feelings are well known.

It could be worse -- he could be jwkniska

I don't deserve credit. Fark does.

I agree you should be able to marry.

What more do you want?

They don't want you to feel so comfortable calling a gay gathering a "fairy fair."
You thought it was funny that a "fairy" didn't want to pay full price for his ferry trip to a "fairy fair." You think that it's o.k. to be cleverly offensive to them. I understand why coach is for it. He's of the Libertarian Persuasion, and they're the most self-centered people in the world. So, other people being offended just doesn't register at all with them. They aren't interested in other human beings needs, or wants. That means nothing to them. They're the most base of all living organisms. You, on the other hand, are a Conservative, and (at least) have specific targets you offend.

I thought they liked to cover Turks in electroplated gold chains and sink them?
