Leaving a Community

helwenJust left an LJ community. It had some interesting and useful stuff on it, but I don't like people who are casually insulting and think it's okay. Even less do I like someone commenting on said post and approving of said insult.
Regardless of how one feels about people with children (and believe me, I'm no fan of the occasional-bawling-child-in-close-and-inescapable-quarters), regardless of how one feels about population in our world, I don't like parents being referred to as "breeders". Do these people call their own parents "breeders"?
Rude, ill-mannered idiots.

My experience with the term 'breeder' in the gay community-- especially the gay male community-- is that it is similar to "shiksa" in Jewish social culture. People think it's not insulting, but it's got a long history of insultingness in that community.
