"I mean trying to insult anyone at any time in unacceptable  "
I agree but I was talking about banter and whether there are any boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed |

It all depends on what the other person is comfortable with. Trying to test the boundaries could end badly... |

Yes; don't.
Banter is the refuge of the insulting, crass and the abusive. |

Personally I think it's fine if you don't constantly single out an individual with repetetive bullying.
If it's on an open forum I personally don't see a problem when 2 people argue and name call eachother (within reason)
I believe in the fundamentals of the US constitution.
But it's not legal in the UK to express criticism of anyone (particuly minorities)
The new adverts show people being taken away by adgents of the state for criticising lesbians and Muslims online.

Why anyone would be insulted being called fab straight is beyond me. Getting upset about anything here is pretty silly.
That's unless someone is claiming dark chocolate is better than milk. Then they can fuck right off. Stupid cunts. |

"Is it ok to call someone fab straight if you want to insult them or is that not really acceptable?"
You want to insult them. That's what i hate about banter, the fact that it;s supposedly humorous but is anything but |

I’m not sure I agree with that as I am thinking more of the mickey Flanagan type of silly banter than the personal stuff. I made a post about one of the rampant fab brexiters today and was called weird, brainless and fab straight ie gay so I took the piss in return with a bit of banter and these two blokes doing the attacking just didn’t get that they were having the piss taken out of them. It was odd. |

How can you not agree with it. You said, quite clearly you wanted to insult them. You chose w=the word insult no one else. So you aren't trying to wind them up. Or have a laugh. You want to insult them (again your word not mine) and presumably purely to get a reactiom |

"Banter is a lost art on here."
You have to be able to laugh at yourself,it needs a bit of witty intelligence,you have to be able to 'lose' and you have to know when it's run it's course.Bit too much for some people.

"Having said that I've had banter with a few on here."
I like a bit of banter when it's with someone you know well enough that it's unspokenly known you're joking. I don't see the problem with being crass though 
When done by text it's hard to show the intent meant, emoticons help a bit, but I'm not surprised random internet people don't know if it's banter or a personal attack.. |

Like you said,I use emoticons to help them gauge where I'm coming from. |

I obviously didn’t get the message across yesterday but what was going on was I was giving these two blokes a bit of banter and taking the piss a bit about their pro brexit ranting and they then joined up together to call me fab straight which I considered was an insult to anyone on fab straight gay or bi and I wanted to know what other people thought about the boundaries of what’s banter and where it becomes something else. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not playing the victim because a bit of piss taking of bloated egos does us all a bit of good now and then but it was more that they jumped straight(lol) into lazy homophobic insults which I thought was unacceptable on fab. Ah well nobody died and there’s far more interesting stuff going on in the world than this so fuck em both (it’s only banter lol)    |
