Some RWEs claimed the "creative" adjective allegedly used deserved acclamation!?? It wasn't only que.., there was more attached to it which I personally find offensive, and won't repeat here.

res- You equate gays to Nazis and fascists with such unthinking ease. First of all, I never equated gays with Nazi's or fascists. I compared how people's perception toward the use of the pejoratives "queer" and "Nazi" or "fascist" is taken. Two totally different concepts. And two completely different words. The PC crowd has not only equated queer (and now gay) with Nazi, they believe it's a far worse term. That's the hypocrisy. The same people who use terms such as Nazi or fascist are the first ones to cry foul when a pejorative like queer (or some derivative of it) is used. The point I am making is "hate speech" is an undefined PC perception word designed to get an emotional reaction from others. All a leftist need to is say "Hey, that's hate speech" and we're all supposed to censor the other person. SI has a right to censor anyone they please, however, my perception is they lack the time and resources to get to the heart of an issue, and sort of blindly respond to anyone who complains these days. It's a shame we have so many highly sensitive PC speech controlling people on SI who can't handle allowing the moderator of a thread to set the standard for that thread.
