I think most of us are wondering the same thing.
The picture thread is for pictures and discussion of those pictures. Please take the strange 4chan arguing to the strange 4chan thread (I've never been there and know some of these terms so it's not unreasonable that the louder 4channers have spread the language across the net). The anti-Rui stuff is, as always, welcome in my PM box.
Since it came up I'd also like to say that in general please could we avoid the use of "fag", it has certain pejorative connotations which I think reasonably fall under the offensive language rule. Even though it's common to say now it can still hurt people.
Edit: Unless explicitly talking about smoking in a very British accent. Though I don't think that tends to come up here much...
R (Having done something once which I deliberately mentioned at the time does not equate to doing it "constantly". I don't mind people criticising me but don't make things up to do so.)
With respect, I think we all know, the context I used it in was not aimed to offend anyone. "4chan fag" is a term i've heard strewn about all across this forum.
