I don't mean to pick nits So why are you? The charge of homophobe was made, to the best of my recollection, by two posters who are not mentioned in that list but who Laz would undoubtedly consider to be among the good citizens. The recent Nazi charge was, as you said, almost immediately retracted, but it was made. The anti-Semite charge was also retracted after due time to reconsider. Some of the pervert (and related) charges still stand to the best of my recollection. I intentionally did not mention any names for either the posters or their targets because I was making a general point about how easily people sling these strong statements around. I just picked a few charges recent enough that most might remember one or more of them and get the flavor of my point.
