Uh, no, doesn't make me crazy, sorry. What *annoys*
me is the lengths you and other TM critics will go
to in order to find some excuse, no matter how
ridiculous and far-fetched, to dump on him. Goodness
knows he had plenty of very human faults; there's
really no need to make any more up except as a way
of venting one's spleen yet again.

The fault you're making up here isn't homosexuality;
that wouldn't be a fault. What you're doing is making
up his purported homosexuality in order to make up the
fault of hypocrisy, given his homophobic views. Those
views themselves were bad enough.

Again, goodness knows he exhibited other hypocrisies.
It looks as though you're bored with complaining
about his real hypocrisies, so you have to conjure
up a new one, on the basis of zero evidence.
