Okay, so I read the chat log.

I really don't see how this is such a big issue as the length of this thread and of the posts say. It seems blown out of proportion to me.

Unlike BCGirl, I don't see a bunch of people insulting Nehpets or anything. However, I also don't see Nehpets being as terrible as some people are making him out to be. However, there is some problematic behavior on both sides.

The only comment of Nehpets' that is actually really messed up is this one:

[12:15]  "foolish, stupid, or unimpressive." -an actual dictionary definition of gay.

It's true that some people continue to use "gay" as an insult in the above manner, but that is extremely homophobic and offensive. If anyone in chat used "gay" as an insult, I would give them a warning. It doesn't appear that Nehpets actually did use it as an insult, but still.

The other problematic behavior was that Avalair was bringing up the issue again and again after everyone else was done talking about it. That didn't seem necessary to me.

So, here's my answer to the original post, since it's on my wall, and my advice to everyone involved:

Nehpets: Please don't use the word "gay" as insult, and we should be good.

Avalair: Let's try and not bring up disruptive issues after they've finally settled down.

Other people in that chat: Just be polite, and don't get too upset when someone complains about chat.
