Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 edit: you're right Gladstone - it does sound like he's coming from a position of ignorance. If it's ignorance and not hate/fear surely insulting and talking down to him is not particularly effective a way to deal with it? Â With Richie though, he's got form for coming across as somewhat of a homophobe when issues surrounding homosexuality have arisen on this board, so this is hardly an isolated incident. So I'm not entirely sure that it's not hatred or fear, to be honest. I'm not really here to educate people about the wrongs of their views towards a particular group of people, it's just a wrestling forum, and I've too many bad experiences of trying to 'educate' people about the wrongness of their views on 'the gays' to waste any more of my time on such individuals.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2011 Fair enough if he's got form.. I've only really started visiting On Topic regularly again more recently in the run up to Wrestlemania so I'm not that familiar with him. There's only so much patience I could expect anyone to exercise on a forum, and given that anyone even still responds to Happ Hazard posts that has already been well exceeded.

Richie Freebird Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 My point was that he seemed to have a sensible attitude towards harmless banter, as I would expect a lot of gays would. What makes you think that? Are they all the same because they like it up the shitter? Â I never once stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RepoMan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Fair play to you if you're aware of your failings, in the nicest way possible. We're all guilty of not understanding certain things. Â Just be aware of how certain things make come across with phrasing etc. It's all too easy to come across badly when you don't mean to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm sure some people within the BLT community will jokingly call each other straight  I think they'd probably just prefer to continue discussing their delicious sandwiches.  Thank fuck someone gave that reply mate!  The sandwich obviously could to with a gerkin or something though.

I don't actually know what it's meant to properly stand for in this instance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Ronnie Posted April 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 I seriously wonder if this whole thing is some kind of big work to make Michael Cole look like more of a prick/heel. Â I find it hard to picture him as the sort of person who would just send this himself becasue he thought it was funny. Â All the barbs that Cole fires at people like Jim Ross on tv are basically Vinnie Mac with his hand up his backside telling him what to say and do and who to insult so shy should it be any different him using bullying language towards a co-worker on twitter? Cole's pretty good at firing up without needing a helping hand from McMahon. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 I think the main lesson here is that Michael Cole's Homophobic Slur would be a fantastic band name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted April 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 What a brilliant parody account. Â Â Â Thanks. Originally I considered playing the role of an illiterate scouser who was so stupid he couldn't figure out how to push the quote button, but I didn't think anyone would take it seriously..
