I think that's part of the problem, not seeing that the term itself is flat-out offensive. I'm a "straight" person who spends a lot of time in gay spaces, both online and off, where the term is used negatively or without any thought behind it and you would not believe some of the violent reactions I've been on the receiving end of for calling someone on it, so I'm not really commenting on GWW alone.

Regardless of intent, the use of such an expression creates a less than welcoming environment, much like the mocking that occurs on places like GFY would create a less than welcoming environment for gay webmasters. From my perspective I see a lot of "pot, kettle, black" behavior within both communities generally, though there may be little such occurrence on this particular board.
