I thing the British use of the word where it is a cigarette or its other slang uses is okay. Where it is used in reference to sexuality or used to attack something by associating it with sexuality it shouldnt be used.

I would say the way 4x4 used it is mildly offensive because even being sarcastic and the point of the post was to show the sexism of the original post it still used 'fag' to insinuate someone (himself) being less of a man because of their sexuality. Therefore it is offensive.

Fotzes post continued this to exagerated effect but even in sarcasm using 'fag' to mean less of a man is offensive.
