Exactly.
Also I had a brief off-list discussion with Joss about this in which I said of
the post in question:
# I actually wasn't offended. It merely confirmed my already low opinion of
# you.
It seems a great stretch to claim that I am homophobic when I have already
stated that I was not offended by the post in question.
It's the desire to offend others that I find offensive in this case.
