Yes, indeed, best not to mention it. Safer that way.
Since when does information have to have relevance in order to be presented? While your intent to protect our fragile reputation is greatly appreciated, I have yet to see anyone make a "haha, stupid fags" remark that you seem to want to preemptively prevent, and even more interestingly must think is imminent.
In other words, we're doing fine so far, thanks.
Now, if by simply posting the article makes OTHERS think that's what's going on - that's their issue, not mine. Can't speak for the rest of the board, of course. But just the fact that the information itself would raise such questions from some people must by necessity raise at least as many questions about the complainers as it does about the initial poster. If it doesn't matter, then why do you (or anyone else, for that matter) care?
100% of the response so far has been "Huh, that's interesting - " - and I imagine it'll stay that way.
