I just got done having an ICQ conversation with my affiliate manager at XonDemand, Rob. He listened to my concerns and said he had read the post. He also said as my affiliate manager he can and will address my concerns, whatever that means.
He also said that all posts, threads, blogs, comments, etc., are "not intended in any way to harm or offend anyone".
I fully understand that the poster's intention wasn't to piss off the gay community. People who make stupid and disrespectful comments don't see why people would get upset at what they say. That's why it's so annoying to those of us on the receiving end of us.
I pointed out that it's the stupidity rather than the intent that matters when people post comments like,""... you are a homo in training and undeniably a fag." To which he only responded again that he saw the post.
Anyway, it was after business hours here on the East Coast and he told me at the beginning of our conversation that he was only there for a moment before he left for the day. So we agreed to continue the conversation tomorrow or Monday (as I may not be around for much of tomorrow).
I'll let you know what I learn. Although right now, I'm thinking that XonDemand doesn't think of this as a very important issue.

PS, I asked my affiliate manager if it was him that posted the message. He didn't respond affirmatively or not. I'll be curious to know if it was him.
