That's what I was actually thinking that the bold and italicized part was taken as a threat. Probably because it was via CHAT. If it was face to face it would have sounded differently.
 
Which is exactly why you especially have to be careful in text chats. Internet voice chats or video chats are better than text chatting, but still nowhere near as good at conveying emotion and such as talking in real life. There's been times when I start typing something sarcastic or in a joking manner, but then realize that it could easily be taken offensively, so I don't say it at all.
 
I don't think you were discriminating, but you should probably learn some tact.

There's a lot of silly fluff in this thread, so I'll just say this. If you have those awesome, but of course non-discriminatory, 'opinions' about certain cultures, sexual orientations or groups, you should probably steer clear of those conversations at work. Just a suggestion...
 
its not ignorant he simply stated how he felt about the situation, its not discrimination at all, nowhere in that entire transcript did i see it, opinion isn't discrimination niether is theory because if they were we'd have a ton of scientists getting fucked by bubba in the joint. he wasn't acting like the hicks out here saying they hate gays cause they are a crime against nature (definitly the theory out here in the sticks) he believes that in the course of developement in conscious life something caused him to be arroused by males.

honestly i have a problem with the flagrant homosexuals the ones that wear rainbows and float instead of walking and talk like the stereo type those are choices that annoy the fuck out of me and make me wanna go gay bashing...
 
We don't know a lot about how this conversation went down. First off, are you friends with these co-workers? Was the tone of your voice negitive or thoughtful? There is no way we could tell you it was or was not discrimination just by reading what was wrote.

So, I'm going to assume that you have a good working relationship with these guys and it was a normal non heated conversation. Two things kind of stood out to me. First you kind of attacted them by saying they should like pus**y. How the hell do you know what they do or don't like? Second is your comment about not staying where they live. WTF is that... the already live and work in the Philippines and they are not really hiding the fact they are gay so why would that change how they are treated? Its not like they are going to hang a big sign on their house saying "NEW GAY COUPLE!!! COME FLOG US".

Anyway I hate when people judge others
 
First off, do not bring your sex life into the office, even in internet chat. Both of you should have been reprimanded for doing that.

Second, I doubt he really respected your opinion, not if he ratted you out to management but then, you have not really explained if he did or did not. If not, I do not see why you even care, more so if he does not even know who you are.

Third, if he does know who you are and vice-versa, did you just find out about him being gay in that chat? That is something you are supposed to know BEFORE you make friends with someone or at least at the beginning of the friendship.

Fourth, I saw no discriminatory remarks on your part. If the other guy construed it that way, then it is his own fault.
 
yep sure did.


ok so I miss qouted that I thought he said they should like pu**y and it was his officemate. My bad. But I still think that was rude.... and I did say I don't think it was discrimination.
 
I don't ffind what you typed offensive you just stated your opinion, the first officemate's opinion I could see as offinsive. If the company you work for whats to make a big deal about it I would attack it by going after their lax policies on internal communication.
 
I can see how it could be taken offensively, but it looks to me like he went out of his way to see it that way.

Here's how I look at things. I will call it like I see it, and if you have a problem with it, blow. I don't spend my time candy-coating reality to make it easier to swallow.

You'll find fewer people bother trying to start what your gay friend did, and everyone will be perpetually pissed off at you. It's a win/win!
