In general, I would call that bannable behavior, but you don't seem so upset about it, since it seems like it might just be a single isolated incident. It's totally unacceptable, but if it doesn't happen again.
Of course, Annek has just destroyed all credibility for himself, so...
Ordinarily, the word doesn't upset me. My (mostly straight) friends and I lob all manner of racial and sexual slurs towards each other at every available opportunity, but since Annek didn't know that I can only assume he meant it as a dire insult. I agree that, as long as it is a single incident, there's no call for banning (Annek isn't very active anyway) but I am now seriously considering the possibility that he and Lizard King are the same person. Aside from both launching sexual slurs at me on the same day (in Annek's case, with no apparent provocation) is suspicious, as is Lizard King's comments at his talk page and Talk:Bigfoot, where he seems to know more about what is going on and what will be done to check his identity than a new user should know. He dared me to check the IP address for him and Annek, and I'm certain they will be different, just as he claims... Regardless, I will be monitoring Annek.
For the record, anyone following the Lizard King debacle, all of my interaction with him has been on Talk:Cronus, User talk:Lizard King and Talk:Bigfoot -- I've never insulted him personally or broken any Wikipedia policies that I'm aware of. I didn't even engage in an edit war, though UtherSRG did. I believe I reverted [[Cronus]] once, and scrupulously outlined my reasoning on the talk page. I may request a ban soon, depending on how things go -- he has, after all, edited my comments to make it appear as though I agreed with him when I clearly did not and also that I was sexually attracted to Bigfoot -- isn't that an officially bannable action?
