My joke about Joe was not homophobic. You seem to equate not pretending there is any diffference between gays and straights with "homophobia". I don't care about a person's sexual orientation. I respect Joe as an intellgent, decent person and would joke about any of his personal traits in the way that Australian men do with each other. If you have qualms about treating gays as you would anybody else then that is your problem. However please do not put your incorrect interpretations on me.I did not call anybody a paranoid crazy. On the other hand why are you attacking me for one small ironic jibe and not criticising the numerous posts abusing me in the strongest language and accusing me at length, over a long period of time, of being involved in the most fatastic, far-fetched conspiracy? And it's not as if I am the only person who suffers these attacks.
My two statements, one of which you completely misunderstood, were not uncontrolled outbursts. One was an affectionate joke which I even flagged with a smiley just in case the reader didn't get it and the other a very small jibe at the abusive animosity Ive had to put up with.
