OK, last time ever. I'm not homophobic. Don't say it or insinuate it. I referred to him as a "gay male" prostitute rather than a "white bald" prostitute because I felt that the former collection of adjectives describes him better - and with whom he may engage in illegal activities - than the latter. No other reason.

Secondly, the benefit of me not being the US Judicial System is that my opinion's don't have to follow its bedrock principles. I believe O.J. Simpson is a killer, the judicial system didn't. Does that make me racist?

Thirdly, GannonGuckert was NOT "outed." He posted his picture and information regarding his homosexuality on a public website with the express intent of having others look at it. Ipso facto, he wasn't outed but in fact let all the world see everything he posted online.

Fourthly, I can't believe you are still harping on this "innocent until proven guilty" thing even AFTER I apologized and agreed to refer to him as an alleged prostitute, which is a 100% true fact. What more do you want me to do?

Fifthly, despite the evidence I presented and the fact that I agreed to refer to hiim as an alleged prostitute, maybe you are right. Maybe I was "accusing him of a very specific crime with a very specific definition, and you cannot back it up." Maybe I did engage in "'slander' or 'libel'? You ASSUME he's a prostitute. Some people ASSUME that all Italians are in the Mafia. That doesn't make it true."

But I'll tell you what. Every time - three, by my count - that you call me homophobic without being able to "back it up" with any proof you are being libelous. You ASSUME I'm homophobic. That doesn't make it true.

I would have debated just the issue. I don't believe that I have ever engaged in ad hominem attacks upon you, and if I have, I'm sorry. But you don't know a single thing about me, and I'm telling you right now - don't you ever call me a homophobe again.
