Christ! You can make anything offensive if you try. If someone wrote "he's a thick Irishman" or as thick as an Irishman I would be annoyed but would not take a huge amount of offence to it, just as if someone said to Fetcher you scots are all mean. It doesn't mean you denigrate the object of your comment. And anyway, what the ****? You've managed to completely misdirect and misrepresent my comment by picking holes in it. You've turned a completely sincere compliment into something you see as dubious. Why can't you just let things slide? It's not like I was saying gays are wrong, or to be gay is wrong! How careful do you have to be what you say around people like you? Christ! Again! :mad:

Urban was, I assume, joking. Holy ****ing buddha, Mohammed or The Great Pink Pixie! Would you prefer I just kept my mouth shut? You find fault in the tiniest remarks. I have to say, your holier-than-thou attitude is really starting to wear thin with me, man. Like I say, instead of allowing the comment to stand as a sincere compliment to two great debaters you've pulled it down to the level where you're now accusing me of not only not being sensitive to homosexuals but to Christians as well!

Just give it a rest, will you? Your self-righteous crap is sticking in my throat.
