I don't mind talking points of view, upbringings, ideas, prejudices, misconceptions, and even politics - as it pertains to athletics, etc.

But, my thoughts were - it got very personal, offensive, and went in the toilet and that is usually not allowed to stay posted.

I think for the most part we are having a reasonable discussion here. Let us not go into name calling of others simply to make a point. Even the talk about politics in this topic has been fair and intelligent. I am not sure Steve was doing that here, but I hope we can discuss these differences without getting too personal or out of line. And sports often are shaped by society and societal issues. Certainly on what you look like and how you present yourself is apart of that. I just had my professor in a Broadcasting class just talk about that very thing and sports were not even the topic.

I you were reading the exchange, I wasn't the one calling anyone names here, I was responding to someone characterizing me as a homosexual, and I take great offense to such personal attacks. Grunewar was agreeing with me that the offending party was way out of line.

You completely missed the point of my post. And there are bigger things to get upset by when it is not true.

Yeah, you're right...I don't understand your point at all. What exactly are you saying?

It doesn't matter.

It matters to me. Are you saying I have no right to take umbrage to disparaging remarks concerning my personal life? That I should allow those remarks to stand without any recourse?
