Much more likely it was just generally ignorant people. There is no hypocrisy in the Christian message - just hypocrisy in the way some people interpret or misunderstand it. Christianity gets a bad name just because some people behave in an ignorant manner under the "Christian" name. A bit like those "Muslims" who indiscriminately blow people up, or the "communists" who get rich at the expense of their countrymen. You get the idea...<br><br>Anyway, I can kind of see Microsoft's point - as long as it is a blanket ban on any form of remotely sexual username if xbox live is supposed to be a family environment. Why feel the need to make a statement with your username? It's just going to attract attention and abuse from all those ignorant people and interfere with your gameplay... <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Whitelab]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2009 1:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Woman Banned From Xbox Live for Identifying as Lesbian]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/27/microsoft-bans-woman-from-xbox-live-for-identifying-as-lesbian/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/27/microsoft-bans-woman-from-xbox-live-for-identifying-as-lesbian/</guid><description><![CDATA[why are you playing the victim.
