What does it matter whether the word has a meaningful etymology or not? It is a word that is used to describe the fear or hatred of homosexuality, and there are various sources that state this as fact. What's the problem? -- Roleplayer (talk) 20:54, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
It most definitely should matter if one wishes to gain respect and not look foolish in conversation. Making up words and assigning new, incorrect meanings does not help the cause. It makes the proponents look foolish and come across as being all-too-eager to unintelligibly label something or someone. Breilly76 (talk) 22:16, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Homophobia, you will be blocked from editing. TechBear (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
You cannot possibly mean to say that the accurate definition is vandalism. Just because it's not what you think it means, or should mean, does not make it vandalism. You need to justify why my correction is not accurate or I will report you for vandalism and misinformation. Breilly76 (talk) 22:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Homophobia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Loonymonkey (talk) 22:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
