Patrick, I'm sorry you are and were offended. I sincerely am. People said things there that weren't very nice (and downright ignorant) sometimes. People used to say those things on CU, but that was done away with, so they went to CBT. I certainly didn't start the site, but yes, I was an active member there. Frustration and anger that wasn't allowed to be expressed on CU was vented in a place where it was allowed. That wasn't your cup of tea, and I understand and accept that.

Mocking people because of their sexual orientation, religion, race, handicap, etc is never okay, but some did it. Some do it in the real world, too, although as we evolve as a society it's thankfully becoming more and more unacceptable to do so. I used to say and believe some horrible things when I was younger and immature and ignorant. My goal now is to not say (or even think) those things, both in my corner of the world and online.
