Be so much faster to simply call him "xxx"

I think it's all in the context. But even thought we may use the words jokingly with each other, posting them on a message board can always be taken the wrong way. Plus, you can tell obviously when we are joking within ourselves, but on other boards you see it run rampant. I used to have a roommate that realized I didn't get offended when he used words like "fag" or "queer" so he took it as a license to use them every chance he got, to the point where it was downright nasty, and he thought I just wasn't getting it. I finally had to tell him, you can't use the words until you respect the people behind them. That shut him up real quick.
