“go rim Corbyn”
That's the homophobia comment?
Seriously?
Because Corbyn is male? Because only gay people rim?
What if it had said fellate? Or Swinson?
I am totally at a loss with this one.
I also don't remember anything more racist than "immigrants are bad mmmmmkay?"

As I said I’m not really interested in defending my position on the topic, so I just just put them them on ignore at the time.
But, it was delivered to a member of the forum who I considered to be male (I know check my check my privilege etc) and felt from my perspective given the very combative back and forth between the two as put down ascribing it as a negative in a your gay kind of way.
I total recognise there’s a lot of reading between the lines in all this, hence not really wanting to put my head above the parapet and just putting them on ignore.

Yeah, agreed. Sorry, should have more courage in my conviction.
The offending comment for me was, “go rim Corbyn” or words to that effect. it was very much delivered and intended as a put down and felt like homophobia from my perspective.
It sounds like others up thread wouldn’t agree and I’m not really interested in getting into a discussion about the ins and outs, I don’t consider myself to be an expert arbitrator at all, so didn’t stick my head above the parapet.
Interestingly even when you put somebody on ignore you still get notifications of them @ing you, which seams unfortunate!
