It's definitely not an excuse, that's not what I meant by that, just an example of how LFGSS has changed. Also, people make mistakes, and it can often be very helpful if they're pulled up on them at a young age. I know I made enough stupid mistakes at that sort of age, and as I've said before I'm glad the Internet wasn't around then to document them for the foreseeable future.
For the sake of being clear I reported a post of your which was obviously intended as a joke but I find mocking homophobia at the expense of a homophobic person to be just as distasteful as the original act.
It's certainly consistent to do that. I will readily admit to having found the classic thread mocking the use of 'gay' as a pejorative (Tweed cycling Fashion Victims) a lot of fun, one of my favourite threads ever, but I suppose the parodies didn't constantly repeat the offending word.
It is also not my place to remind the offender of anything. I'll leave that for Velocio.

Sure, that's what I meant.
