Clinton; feel free to backpedal all you want. I was insulted by your use of that word...and a gay man using it would have made that clear at the get-go.

You are no Lenny Bruce.

A gay man referring to himself with a gay slur is very different from a non-gay man doing the same; whether you think it's fair or not, that is the way it is...in the one case it is a sign of solidarity or reclamation; in the other it can be misunderstood; unless you are a close personal friend or ally; you do not appear to share either relationship with Mr. MacIsaac...

Along those lines, try using the "n" word on the street in your neighborhood some day and lemme know how you make out...

Nice try; engage your brain before hitting the send button next time...

I do not agree to disagree with you; I simply disagree with you.
