It wasn't benign moaning. When they posted homophobic jokes in the memes thread and I said I was disappointed, as a gay man, they then proceeded to post five videos of Friday by Rebecca Black and multiple crap identical memes in what to me was a pretty obvious attempt to bury my comment and stifle debate. Which given that I was essentially complaining about being made to feel less than welcome on this forum wasn't very nice.
They then followed up with a nasty, transphobic meme. So if you're standing with TKsaladd you're standing with homophobia and transphobia. Which I find personally disappointing as I thought you were better than that.
Most of the time I find them fine but it's pretty hard to overlook casual homo/transphobia.
