I can only conclude that you are not a true guest but one of Martin's many pseudonyms or perhaps a gay basher; trolling mudcat...I suspect, however, that what upsets you the most is the fact that he has championed the gay rights movement in the Vancouver area.

"Martin?" I have no idea who Martin is or who you're referring to.

"Gay basher?" I previously mentioned the word "gay," or even the fact that Svend is gay, but once, in this sentence: "Who knew that Svend Robinson, the gay Canadian socialist parliamentarian had such expensive taste in jewelry?"

From that, you have the nerve to smear me as a "gay basher." You have absolutely no clue as what you're talking about. From the same sentence, your complete absence of logical thought could have called somehow concluded I am a "Canadian basher," a "socialist basher," or a "parliamentarian basher." Each conclusion as absurd as your attempted smear.

And, by the way, you should know that it has been Svend himself, over a period of many years, who has made his gayness a primary factor in his identity. As I'm sure you know, he was Canada's first out-of-the-closet gay parliamentarian. He also took it upon himself to out another MP, Scott Brison, because he didn't think that Brison belonged in the closet.

Anyway, Dianavan, you should know that your feeble attempt to smear me says much more about you than it possibly could about me.
