Maybe you should go back and reread...naw...I'll just post the line of posts to make it simple...
Derogatory comment:
fleury: "some are obvious, others are not, but for some reason, this guy looked like he he was one of them since the time of Doogie Howser.
He's one of those few that didn't have a lisp though. What's up with that?!"
Condemnation of derogatory comment:
kipperfan: "

Kinda derogatory."
Condemnation of condemnation of derogatory comment:
jolinar of malkshor: "Get over it. Quit being so politically correct.
Geesh....one of the many problems with the world today. Don't be so sensitive."
Satirical condemnation of condemnation of condemnation of derogatory comment:
Superfraggle: "Yeah...this world would be a much better place if we could just make fun of people for being different with impunity. I hear people with the word "of" in their screenname are more likely to have fewer social skills too. Boy it would be weird to meet a nice guy whose screenname had an "of" in it!"

Can you really not tell what was derogatory in fleury's statement? As an aside, someone once told me that, as soon as you start using words like "they" and "those", that's where the problems start. Throwing people into categories, and then mixing those categories, so that a person of type A must be like a person of type B, because there are people of type A who are also of type B is derogatory. You are dismissing the individuals on the basis of their "group"
