It's kinda silly.
It's like kicking someone because of their religious beliefs, political ideals, or favorite color.
But your subject is tasty controversy and can get the team leader suspended.
Man, I wish I could get people banned for kicking me because I like orange soda.
Ignorance comes in all colors.

Me honestly, I don't judge unless you're trying to be a [censored]. Found plenty on Pinnacle, two of which occured on the same day about three days after CoV. Long story short they kicked me (lvl 33 doing 38 missions where I asked for an SK to be of us and they openly said, "nah you'll get better XP") for seemingly doing nothing according to another player who happened to be in their SG (it was an SG team mind you) and so the [censored] got the star and kicked me. When yet their own teammate was AFK half the time and always hanging back.
Indeed, stupidity can be contagious.
no christmas candy fer them! * TAKES THEM OFF DA LIST* 
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
*shrugs* They did the wrong thing, you left, reported, moved on.
I don't think Playskool's position is quite fair because I'm reasonably sure no people get murdered because they like Orange Soda.
I will kick someone for any kind of ignorance.
Dont like homos? Boot.
Graphically describe homosexual sex despite someone nicely saying they are uncomfortable (has happened)? Boot.
Go on about Jesus? Boot.
Call someone retarded for believing in Jesus? Boot.
Say the Iraq War is a good thing? Boot (no war is good).
Don't be stupid.

Pfft. Someone has hope in humanity. People get killed for all sorts of reasons. Orange soda would not surprise me.
Egad, someone doesn't like your fringe beliefs in their team chat. I have nothing against that, but I don't think kicking you off the team is a mature way to handle that. When I'm offended by things online (oddly, the most offensive thing I've ever been told in an MMO I heard in CoX), I leave, I don't expect others to do it.
Business as usual. Fly your freak flag high (I certainly do), but don't be surprised when people take shots at it.

[/ QUOTE ]A fair comment, but I don't think there are roaming gangs of people attacking orange-soda drinkers all across first-world countries.
On the other hand, I wonder how they'd have reacted if it'd been a pair of girls talking flirty with one another.

Bizarre that you mention it, but orange soda is most notably popular with Arabs.

There, that's all done. RP lite or no, if you where doing something that wigged them out, even if they are inbred yokels, doesn't give you the right to come here display it for us.
Then to end it with the name of Jack, hrmm
Its like trying to rub in his face, but in reality your rubbing in our face, which in turn makes us go, why & now your the idgit of your own post.

I'd believe it. Here in LA they shoot you just for lookin at them funny. Imagine if you cross someone who really loved their grape drink.

Probably not but it wouldn't matter. It's often used in a derogatory manner anyways. You don't call a Homosapien by that, I don't anyways, because of the chances of people getting confused. The chances of a person interpreting something completely different when you shorten like that, is way too common. With todays society it implies something different.
However, based on his attitude in the chat... no he probably wasn't a rocket scientist per se.
I have this urge to start calling people Homosapiens.
Issue 23: All your base are belong to us?
That'd be redundant. 
"Point being?" - "And?" - "Thank you, I was beginning to think I was going to grow scales."
Only concrete is allowed, because cement is homogeneous.
Watch your language, and avoid homonyms.
Avoid complex systems, wouldn't want to get caught making a homomorphism.
There's a lot more to [censored] than homosexuals.

Posting it on the forums is the only action where you over-reacted. We've all had some hurtful things done to us because of something about us, whether it's what we believe or who we like to date.
However, were I on the team and witnessed the interaction between you and your cute boyfriend I'd voice an objection to the continued "flirting." Cute Boyfriend wiggles his butt a little isn't very thematic to fighting crime, and a little creepy.

@Paladin
two things...
one, you handled that pretty well and acted in a damn funny manner
two, *WARNING RANT* the word ignorant or ignorance makes me cringe today, instead of the proper definition of being uneducated in a particular situation, subject, thing, noun, trout, etc it's been turned into a pretentious dime a dozen word for general stupidity, what makes it worse it comes packed with more shenanigans like fat, lazy, stupid and hick; using these to belittle or insult one does not make you look intelligent, it just makes you look like a [censored].
and the truth here in this context it's even WORSE because it's not used for general stupidity, but disagreeing viewpoints; i think one can safely assume that team leader fully knew what the term gay was, just found it offensive or clashed with their personal beliefs which doesn't make him any less educated in what it is, just it clashes with anyone who disagrees with his view on it.
Anyone feel like sharing stories of ignorant people? I'll start!

As I am too. So I'll be happy when the mod comes down on you. Bye Jack. ))
Sooo my RP friend and I were on a team, doing lite RP as boyfriends.
Anyway! The team leader had just passed the star to another member so he could invite someone.
I didn't edit this chat for anything but my own typos and names of the team members. (ie; soo = too. etc)
Cute Boyfriend wiggles his butt a little.
[Team] Questionable Team Member: qwelcome kittie
[Local] Cute Boyfriend: You're gonna love the Gucci show, babe
[Local] _Psi_: Why?
[Local] Team Leader: .....are you gay or sumtin
[Local] _Psi_: Yes.
[Local] Cute Boyfriend: me in lace-up hotpants and waistcoats.
[Local] _Psi_: Oh right.
[Local] Team Leader: QUESTIONABLE TEAM MEMBER! KICK THEM FROM DA TEAM
[Local] _Psi_: ...
[Local] Team Leader: i do not accept homos on my team
[Team] Questionable Team Member: ok in
[Local] Cute Boyfriend: Good thing this isn't your team.
[Local] _Psi_: (( Omg this is awesome now I get to report him!
[Team] Team Leader: gimme back the star
[Team] Team Leader: hi gay guy!
[Team] Questionable Team Member: sorry was loading in
[Team] Team Leader: yeeeeerout! *kicks Cute Boyfriend*
[Team] Questionable Team Member: lmao
[Team] Questionable Team Member: Team Member what do u need
[Team] Cool Team Member Number 1: ...are you serious, or?
[Team] Team Leader: let that be a lesson to any homos out there
[Team] Cool Team Member Number 2: and what's thsi about gay people?
[Team] Questionable Team Member: ha u never reset the mish
[Team] Team Leader: some guys on the team were essencially gay, tell em Questionable Team Member
[Team] Cool Team Member Number 2: so do I need to leave if i happen to be Gay?
[Team] Questionable Team Member: try to pull Team Leader
[Team] _Psi_: (( Okay, well I reported you for kicking my friend for being gay.
So at that point Cool Team Members 1 and 2 come out and we form our own team, and even Questionable Team Member joins us.
Now I'm not looking for a flame war, but I'd like to know if anyone else finds this horribly offensive or if we over reacted.
