Actually this is an example of guilt by association. The difference is that with regard to many homophobes having latent homosexual desires, there's scientific evidence to back it up. That doesn't mean it applies to you, but it isn't out of line to raise the issue. Not only that, but it wouldn't be an ad hominem attack, at least from those of us who don't think there's anything wrong with homosexuality. > It's a convenient way of > deflecting the person's argument so you don't have to deal with it. But we've also been dealing with your "argument," Feste, head-on, so to speak. And your response has been to pretend that we think you're homophobic *only* because you find anal sex disgusting. You've also maintained that you *aren't* homophobic, in the very same posts in which you express unquestionably homophobic sentiments. And you haven't dealt with any of what we've said in response. > > --- In [email protected], Vaj <vajranatha@> wrote: > > > > Key West is nice this time of year.
