I have no problem with some one being banned for what seems to me to be using the term gay in a derogatory manner , but I do have concerns with what seems to me (and it might have happened in this case ? ) to be a growing trend toward banning people without any prior warning being given to modify their behavior when taking into account the persons record .

I would recommend that warnings that are severe enough to lead to bans if the behavior occurs again, are privately discussed between the Mod and perpetrator so the people concerned then know where they stand.


... thank you.  

My generation has used the word "gay" to refer to homosexual.  Considering the context of the quoted post, I thought it was clear that it was being used in that manner in my post and not as a derogatory insult.  It could've been clarified easily if the mod was practical like you described instead of reactionary like so many problematic ones on the internet are.
