# erm
any chance we can calm down on the gay jokes? pretty please? I know I had a part in all this - but it's really getting out of hand.

Some of it's beginning to sound dangerously bigotted.

# you're in the list
Check your spam filters in hotmail. Sometimes they can be a little enthusiastic.

# Strangely
Hotmail seems to be delivering my daily dose of spam to the right folder, but refusing to accept e-mails from actual proper people whether they are on a safe list or not.

# I agree.
I found vaguely offensive. And unfunny.

# I can see your point
but some of the best feedback i've had for my flash thing has been from gay people. i guess its a thin line betweeen harmless schoolboy humour and homophobia.

# The difference is that
your site is mostly taking the piss out of people who use 'your all gay' as an insult (which is why it started getting used as a catchphrase round here in the first place) - but comments like Papa Laz' AIDS one above are showing genuine bigotry - whether they're trying to disguise it with irony or not.
