57. Distinguishing between ‘evidence’ and ‘proof’.
When you state an opinion “X is crap music” your opinion requires no evidence or proof.
When you make an allegation regarding some one having portrayed a group of people as ‘evil’ or an allegation of ‘homophobia’ your opinion has now entered the realm of attack and slander of another’s character. (This has been explained to you before to no avail).
Such allegations (as a matter of common decency/natural justice) require >evidence< (cite, quote, substantiation, justification...that which you call "a game") that (if supporting the allegation) would constitute >proof<.

Case in point- Your allegation that I have made “a homophobic comment”.

You-
“(not saying that they are advanced enough to have intergalaxy travel and anally probe us whilst we sleep).”

Me-
“But living in hope?
;-)”

For that exchange to even begin to constitute ‘homophobia” would require that you can show that I know your gender and the gender of your “intergalaxy” travelling anal probing aliens.

At best a joke.
At worst a bad taste question.
'Homophobia'?....Not by any stretch of the imagination (even yours most fertile).

As with all your prior allegations-No evidence, no proof, no case, no credibility.
