To Patrick, Alix and all, I encourage all to read the approximately last third of the thread "Tables Tables Tables". I personally find homophobic rhetoric to be entirely reprehensible and am calling for a ban of virtueaudio from this forum. It is my understanding that this site is not a public soap box where hate speech is protected. It seems a clear violation of the users agreement and apparently this is not the first time (cite?). I would hope for a further block of the users source so that they could not come back under another name.

Glassartist,
Ok we get it,...
Glassartist,
Ok we get it, youre gay, get over it.
What part of my post was homophobic?
You love penis, good for you, I have no issues with that.
I do however, take issue with your insistance on being a whiny little bitch.
Yours truly,
Me

One small request...
Please don't get rid of this clown until I figure out either where he is or if he's putting on about having met me.
I'm calling BS on your claims by the way, virtue.

Well I was going to come to ...
Well I was going to come to virtueaudios defence in an odd sort of way, I wasn't personally offended, perhaps I'm too over the hill to care and younger folk seem to throw these gay terms around pretty commonly, I don't think they think beyond the urge to insult someone.
But after his most recent comments (its hard not to respond in kind) I reluctantly agree. But if Patrick and Alix just want to give him a warning or just let it go or kick him off its no skin off my nose.
But it is unfortunate that a thread that has some of the best comments on art and desgn I've ever read here or on any other forum has just turned pretty sour, perhaps it could have gone on further to the benefit of everyone, once a thread gets poisonous though no one really wants to participate anymore.

Lunchbox,
I'm not going to put you on blast and reveal your name...
but you sure never denied your wife was fat when I described her. If youre ever on the east side again, come visit me we'll kiss and make up. 🙂

No denial needed...
But let's just say the fact that you would insinuate she's fat makes me think you've never met her and thus never met me, if supposedly I purchased something from you with her.
Go on then...
What did I purchase?
Where and when did this purchase take place?
I'm ever so curious.

Everyone should ignore...
Everyone should ignore virtueaudio. I am sure he will be either warned or banned for his comments, but your comments to him are only egging on his behavior. Just ignore his comments, and the mods will deal with him.

The first rule of the forum...
The first rule of the forum is:
1. Respect and courtesy are essential. The moderators reserve the right to delete unsuitable messages as well as off-topic and discriminatory messages.
There was a good reason to place this rule in first position. We will not accept any hate speech on Design Addict. Virtueaudio's comments are intolerable and what makes us even more angry is that they have contaminated one of the most interesting threads in recent months.
So we have removed the messages and the legitimate reactions that they have provoked in the thread "Tables Tables Tables" to preserve this interesting discussion.
We have also contacted Virtueaudio to clarify our position.

more people like you
glassartist,
The world needs more people like you to monitor and point out others faults. Be proud of yourself and celebrate your victory.

It is no victory
I actually feel really bad about the whole thing. Even the solution, though appropriate, is certainly not a happy thing for me. But thanks, I appreciate it.

Don't feel bad.
It's people like VirtueAudio that deter other people becoming more involved in this forum. Which is ultimately what everyone wants, no?
