The fact of the matter is, this is a forum. Its just text on your computer screen, and taking it too seriously isnt healthy. You have the choice to ignore it or not, worrying about it wont change anyone's mind especially in a place where you run around with a completely different identity. No one has respect for someone who's face they have never seen or who's voice they have never heard. Its the same way on XBL, and letting it get to you doesnt solve anything.
We all know how serious AIDS is, but when people are just having some fun, is it really that big a deal?
Our world is so wrapped up in not insulting others. Calling people black when they are in fact black is now a discriminative statement, but calling white people crackers isn't. They just recently changed the politically correct name for blacks to Black Americans, because they aren't from Africa anymore really.
I think that sometimes we worry too much about simple things. Just don't let it get to you.
