I can't help but have a chuckle over the fact that Fæ has spoken out against calling other editors homophobic:

I am puzzled why you would think that accusations or assumptions of editors being homophobic would ever be acceptable. I put it on a par with accusations of racism or misogyny.
Since the editor involved did not call anyone homophobic, they seem a tad upset.

I grow slightly faint looking at all the "he said ...", "he said ..." As for actually reading it, I think I may be too old to be able to spare the time.

But at any rate the thing is now at WP:WQA.

And it brings up something that relates to that Limbaugh thread.

Specifically, Tyler Clementi. The poor kid is dead, and Wikipedia is turning his death into a freak show.
Read the talkpage if you enjoy vomit. Trial by Wiki, anyone?
