he mad a slight jab in an ingame thread and used a homophobic slur in passing. IF you would look at his record you would see a rap sheet without many marks on it. He is a standup poster and has contacted me about making amends of this situation.

please consider re instating him ASAP he will no use the word "fig" ever again, in any form. He is an asset to the many boards within the TigerDroppings community.

Thank you

he called Ranger fan a 'whiney fig'.


It's a derogatory term, we can all agree to that, but he didnt use it to belittle a homosexual or anything.

So does that mean we can use the "N" word if we aren't talking to a black person?

Seems like Port is Plaxico Burress and the admins are Michael Bloomberg. Making an example of the poor guy.

PCT is about as solid as they come on TD and is all around great family man. He meant no disrespect.

My point is I don't think most people use "fig" as an actual attack on a gay person. Probably everyone would claim it just means "stupid" or "lame". I just don't think that argument would fly.

Don't know the guy and not picking sides. Might have been a slip of the tongue.........fingers.

I think people rarely use words like that in their true meaning. I'm white, and in the past, I've called my friends "my n***er" for fun or whatever, but to me, it's like saying "my boy". Problem is, you kind of have to put a blanket ban on something like that because there will be people who abuse it.

This might need to be moved to the OT

It's pretty weak. Anyone who has had any dealing with Port knows that this isn't his personality.
