At least I would never make SUCH a gay statement as to refer to MacBooks as 'pretty'.

please keep such language out of things.   This would suggest that being gay is somehow derogatory

JJ...changed the word you objected to.
However, my favorite Uncle was gay and I have a friend who is gay who refers to flamboyant gays as faggots.
Would you prefer that term?

Because that IS the direction I'm going.
People being caricatures of themselves, preferring style over substance, and judging a computing device on how 'pretty' it is, rather than how functional it is.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with personal style, just that when its taken to its extreme, you look more clownish than someone making a statement.

To be fair this argument is bordering on I can't be racist I have black friends.  But lets move on and back to the conversation at hand :)
 
 I was being a bit of a tit and have used that word when I shouldn't many times because it was in common usage growing up, so have no right to pick others up on it.
