→Faggot: The eye of the beholder
Strange as it may seem, Mr. Zuma (and it is a pleasure to communicate with you), the word faggot, though in the English language it calls to mind nothing more unwholesome than a meaty mouthful of beef, dripping with copious quantities of gravy, or a short firm stick of the burning kind, in the American demotic appears to refer to the unspeakable sect of Bulgars and their Carthigensian praxii. I hope my meaning is clear. [[User:DDWatkinsIII|DDWatkinsIII]] 19:01, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

I take your point, I had forgotten about the Bashi-bazouks. I can understand some discomfort regarding the negative connotations of faggot adopted in the erstwhile colonies but surely the page could have been protected intactum before any untoward vandalism occurred. In this way inquiring minds would have been directed down a wholesome path of truth rather than S & G deviance. I am well reminded of Matthew 7:3-5
<pre>And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the
mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.</pre>
Deviance is in the eye of the beholder. Let the innocent come forth and speak the truth without fear. [[User:MontyZuma|MontyZuma]] 18:59, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
