Okay by me.
Regardless of what the mods decide, that you completely ignored the rest of my post is noted.
My position that your use of spurious vulgarities demonstrates anger and hostility on your part towards gays still stands. No amount of subsequent denials on your part is going to change the anger and hostility in those posts.
Translation: DT believes they know better what Zoom meant than Zoom.
Once again, you are wrong.
You are responsible for the content of your posts. If you cannot express yourself in a calm and rational manner without resorting to spurious vulgarities in the the CDZ then you are exposing your anger and hostility towards gays in this OP topic.
Adults refrain from vulgarities because they know that they are inflammatory. They refrain from accusing others of lying because that too is inflammatory.
Inflammatory rhetoric is not conducive to civil discourse which is the stated purpose of the CDZ.
Your inability to post in an adult manner and make rational posts exposed your anger and hostility. Per the OP;
Finally, the students answered questions about their coping strategies — defense mechanisms people use when they face unpleasant or scary situations. Defense mechanisms can be healthy ("mature") or unhealthy ("immature"). A mature defense, for example, might include regulating one's emotions and not depending on others for validation. Immature defense mechanisms might include impulsive actions, passive aggression or denial of a problem.
Your posts were classic examples of immature aggression and your current denials are yet another.
To further explain what I actually posted:
homophobia: dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people.

phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational.

The definition of the word homophobia is wrong. A phobia is not merely a 'dislike of' or 'prejudice against' something. It is an irrational fear that manifests as an anxiety disorder (see above definitions). So to call someone homophobic because they hold a differing pov on homosexuality does not mean they have an irrational fear and/or anxiety disorder. That is nonsense. I called out the first word of the op as bs because it is, as I've just shown. That you believe my showing the blatant error of the definition of homophobia somehow equates to "anger and hostility towards gays", "immature aggression", "current denials" is not only incorrect, it's ridiculous.
If a discussion of homophobia is to take place, the first place to start is with the fact that the definition of the word is bunk. Just because this thread is in the CDZ does not mean that lies can not be called out for what they are. The very first word of the OP is a lie.
