RE: to clear up some confusion
lol I see your point and retract the sociopath assumption.
I'm not against you. You're a bubbly guy. I'm looking out for you man.
Community and leadership really needs a more harmonious existence on steemit.
That is the message that the people have asked me to deliver.
Because I moonlight as a prophet.
They call me Mahamanoid.
You are not looking out for me by policing my language by insinuating that I owe anyone an apology for calling out hateful, bigoted assholes.
Defending those who use hateful slurs is not a good look. It is you who should reconsider.
No man. I am not one who finds the use of 'gay' offensive or hateful within the context in question. As @ats-david said. Poor choice of words yes.
Anyway I thought you were CTO. This is the only reason why I believed an apology would reflect better in the future. However, I observed you clarify elsewhere that you do not represent steemit Inc. So then for that. You owe no one an apology.
I don't even defend. I simply accept. Any form of speech. I don't believe free speech means freedom to hate or has exemption from repercussion though. Consequence is another matter entirely.
He's an employee of Steemit Inc in a high level position posting on Steemit ... he can deny all he wants that he represents Steemit. The fact is that he does and he lacks the intelligence to recognize the fact that his deplorable conduct reflects on his employer.
His employer may not care ... others do whether he likes it or not.
