Sorry dude - no one here can help you. There is no known cure for gayness.

that is an uncalled statement. If you have nother good to say why not just ignore the thread. We all (even as a mechanic myself) had to start somewhere and we arent born knowing everything. I dont care how mechanically inclined someone is they will still fudger up somwhere down the line on something.

Because I hate it when people use the word gay to describe something they mean is bad. I think the use of that is uncalled for. Silly statement = silly response.

Wait...its not 1950 is it?

I think the urban dictionary applies more to this one than the webster.

Definitely not. I believe that use #3 is what he was going for, that I object to.

I haven't heard anyone use the term gay to mean happy in a looong time.

Ofblong, did you read the original post? Nalian was referring to the original poster's statement that :

...and maybe fix the fact that the shifter is, for lack of better terms, "being gay."

Given that description, I think Nalians post was right on the mark (not to mention humorous). In that context, I'm having trouble figuring out what you objected to.

sorry no one can help you was the very first thing he said. then he said because of your gayness. sounds to me like he is calling him gay and saying that he wont help him because he is gay.

Actually the gayness being refrenced is of the shifter.

You gotta lighten up man. I was referring to him saying his shifter was being gay. Poking fun at his choice of words. Don't read more into it than that.

And I'm female.
