Actually, Rick, I think if you go back and reread what Todd said, you'd
realize that he was actually making fun of the writers in question, not
actually saying you were a homophobic prick.  You're only a homophobic
prick if you follow the logic of frere-jones, et al, which is what seems
to be under attack.  It was typically sarcastic, but not actually a
swipe at you.  Unless I'm reading it wrong.
