Let me put it this way: I'm not trying to specifically target you Kabooka. I checked the Planetcricket forum rules, and unless I missed something, there's no policy on on homophobic attacks or jokes. This comes as a surprise, given that in much of the civilized world it is against the law to discriminate against someone based on their sexual orientation.
I'm not racist either, but it would seem that if I were to mock you by labelling you a kyke or a spade, I'd be pulled up immediately and likely banned. But calling you a faggot receives much less attention. I've seen that word - faggot - used on a few occasions on this site. I always report them. It's just not cricket.
This seems an important issue, at least to me it is. I don't understand gay jokes, just like I don't laugh along to racist jokes either.
