but that doesn't mean I should apologise for incorrect interpretations put on my posts by yourself. I am definitely not homophobic, I like or dislike, respect or disrespect people on their whole characters as I understand it. It seems that Will and I agree in at least that one area and we might both be wrong.I don't pretend to be above paranoid crazy behaviour, I am above it. I am certainly not above stupid, self-serving behaviour without correct forethought and I've offended people before without meaning to. It is a completely different thing to criticise other people's paranoid crazy accusations and intemperate abuse and to engage in it.
I will be exceedingly happy if Gerry becomes a milder, kinder poster. However he may never have done so if I hadn't pointed out and strongly criticised that behaviour. It is not as if his abuse of me was unique or that it began recently.
