Got Banned at MD&D for Calling Scott Lloyd an Ass

Post by _Craig Paxton »

So I'm on limited status at MD&D and frankly rarely go there any more as they've taken the fun out of it...but yesterday I did see a post my Scott, a DESNEWS reporter...in which he said that he would continue to use the term "Same Sex Attraction" rather than Gay when referring to Gay men and women....and I retorted that I would continue to refer to him as an Ass for referring to Gay men and women as having same sex attraction...which I understand is viewed as a pejorative term by those in the Gay community... instead of their preferred descriptor of being Gay.... For this I was banned.

So, you're saying the MD&D board banned you for calling one of their golden boys an ass?

Gee, what a surprise. I'm sure no one could've seen that coming a mile away.

Sounds like you may suffer from same-board attraction.

I'm curious how Scott Lloyd, a reporter, justifies using terms that GLAAD has deemed offensive and/or inappropriate in their media language press release. He is only professional on the job? His professionalism ends when he starts posting on MD&D? That would explain a lot, because he posts like a petulant narcissist. Unprofessional is the nicest term I would use to describe his mean-spirited nastiness. He's lucky Calm/Nemesis covers for him because there is no way his posts follow the rules over there.

Deseret News Reporter Scott Lloyd refers to gay people as 'having a condition':
But the phrase "same-sex attraction" occurs in the newly updated website. And I will continue to use it.

Removing the s has the effect of making nouns into adjectives. A subtle difference perhaps, but it gets away from the act of labeling a person as being something as opposed to having a certain condition, in this case same-sex attraction.
I'm in full accord with that.

Scott Lloyd should be fired for his published views on gays. He really is the David Duke of the Deseret News:
