Dude, just say sorry and get them off your back, it's not worth an argument. Also, about a post you recently made, it doesn't matter if a word doesn't mean much to you, to some people it can really hurt, and I'd really advise you not to call people "faggots" because no way has that word lost its meaning. As a side note, I agree that Gender of the Day is dealing with some things in an unsavoury fashion but I never liked the blog in the first place, I think it's belittling so
i apologize for saying what i said, BUT DESPITE THAT, i do think that for future reference, that word in particular isn't worth the uproar it seems to bring
like if i had to choose words that, when used, required something to happen, that wouldn't be up very high
(also for the record i barely even use the word faggot to begin with (and if i do i use it as ironically as possible), i just mean that any action to disconnect such words from their meanings i will embrace)
