I hope you can see that your statement "Maybe he got a bit homo phobic" is an ad hom, as it is not tied to any statement by Manfranco in your comment, thus only related to the personal "he" on the sentence. If you feel that particular statements he has made can be categorized as such, pointing them out along with a defination of your term and a request to further explain would be more in the spirit of dialogue and less of a character slur. Please keep personal attacks in check, even when the topics are as touchy as this one.
