Which would make him a homophobe.

No, no. It's not especially an argument, it's more of a explaination of my perspective. I could not see how it would be understood as homophobia so quickly.
The messages being sent serverside (as far as I understand) would make a user (assuming players are not aware of the :sendchat command) sending the message very unlikely, so one would think that's not the case. Ofcourse, if it was sent by a staff member (which we later found it was) I can understand it being homophobic. Otherwise, I have stated my perspective.
I understand how it could be taken as a homophobic comment now, but even I didn't think it would be user sent since only Event Staff have the ability to use the command, and I thought it wasn't given to all of them.
