Does this mean that if some people doesn’t respect you that they are, in your view, free to call you anything they want to? Can they call you a fundamentalist, or a homophobe, or bigot, and would that be OK? Michael, I am not calling you a dog by saying that you are barking up the
wrong tree. I am telling you that I have thicker skin than that.
Maybe it's the fact that earlier iterations of juvenile behavior that I
have experienced included a neighbor boy who insisted on calling me and my
brothers the Henderbutts.
As for calling someone a homophobe, we did this thread two or three years
ago. It is a neologism of suspect origin and doubtful meaning. But
if I can survive being called Henderbutt, then Homophobe certainly won't kill
me, even if it inaccurately reflects on my certainty that everyone, including
isogenderphiliacs, are the object of God's love and affection.
