Use of the word "gay" as a derogatory term just isn't on.
EDIT: I hate you Hound. I'm going to resurrect all Civ's old "Trailbreaker > Hound " desperate gimmickry if you try that again.

I also expected you guys to have a little more sense of humor than that.
Dude, it's not funny. It's not something you should need warning about... What if someone had said the test was as stupid as a n*gger?
Oh, but it IS funny. What makes it even funnier is your reaction to it. You see, that's just the kind of blind, politically correct attitude I hate. You make judgements without even bothering to check out all the facts first.
Most of my friends are gay. When I meet my group of friends and say "Sup, fags?" (of course, I don't say that ALL the time), the only person who is offended is the straight guy because my statement excludes him.
My best friend is gay. When I told about this incident, he thought it was funny.
Hell, I'm bisexual myself so that almost makes me gay, too!

But the problem is you're not with your buddies who've known you for years here (note how I'm not questionning your story, simply because you seem like a genuine guy - but anyone could say stuff like that ).
We can't make allowances for people using derogatory terms ironically, because that way the fascists can just cry irony when they're called on something, ergo getting away with it.
Your comment was deemed offensive by a very even-handed moderator. It's up to him what happens now

The use of the word "gay" in a derogatory manner is not permitted here. Regardless of your sexual preference.
Regardless of how your gay friends feel about the word or whether or not you have any prejudice against those who're gay.
You use that term in that context and you get to take a break.
The moral, just don't post that here!

I don't think that analogy quite works here, because it's obvious that YOU've been here quite a lot.
But I'm not gonna go and put all the blame on you guys. I just so rarely join new forums...and I treat everyone like old friends from the start, resulting in little clashes like this.
There's also the element of that, after reading many of the threads here, you guys came off as way more...open-minded.
