Good grief! It would have taken but a moment to give us some feed back.

Now Simon Murphy's upset. I don't want to fan the flames, but you had lots of time to answer, and I am not about to turn on Simon Murphy again.

mumble, grumble…no-one ever takes me seriously…mumble…

Your EXACT quote is as follows:

"Paedophiles in general are the type of people that surely would not follow football. Not many gay people to the best of my knowledge are great football fans."

You claim your comment has been taken 'out of context' and you then start babbling about taking legal action against people. On what grounds?

Please explain how your comments have been taken 'out of context' as you have avoided addressing that? The context to me is pretty clear – you equated homosexuality with paedophilia and you are now trying to downplay this horrifically dangerous statement. You made extremist statements and you are now trying to downplay inciting hatred against the gay community.

As for your comments about your 'gay friends' – that is the standard excuse for bigots: "Some of my best friends are black BUT…." Just because you have gay friends does not excuse your incitement to hatred against gay people.

If there is an election and you run for this election will you be making a press release to specifically apologise for inciting hatred. If not then it seems clear that you are just another mendacious, 2 faced bigot who needs to be vehemently opposed.

Look at how you're friends defended you. I only wish I had friends like that. But we were upset. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, what with the elections and all…and who would have thought the BNP…of all the unexpected…don't you think that screwed everybody around? And RobN was nowhere in sight. Not his fault.

Don't blame us either, Mike. We are lucky to have guys like John K and Adrian around, and we are lucky to have PinkNews. You should see how much of an education we receive here, not only in expressing ourselves, but also in affirming and defending ourselves at a time when even here in Canada, homophobia is on the rise.

We get religious nutters in here all the time, and some with more subtle homophobic messages.

You are right. The words 'gay' and 'paedophilia' do not go well in the same sentence. I've made more serious blunders than that myself, and there's nothing to say I won't do it again.

You are a well-known personality in England, but as a Canadian, I'm afraid I had never heard of you, not that that should make any difference.

Just don't blame the guys, OK. RobN calls us 'fuckwits' and 'old faggots' and there may be some truth to that. What do I know, I live in the land of the free? No 'fuckwits' around here except in Parliament, and I do believe we are in for the 4th election in 5 years. You Brits have any use for a Conservative politician, name of Harper? AW, c'mon, please take 'im.

The UK will continue to be in turmoil until this gay issue is settled as it is here in Canada.

Why can't we just put this down to free publicity for you and for us; it has put a temporary spotlight on all of us, hasn't it? And you can't blame Ben Cohen for doing his job.

How do you suggest PinkNews put the matter straight? Don't forget, we are ready to defend PinkNews. So…do you want to go back in the ring?

There's a revolution happening in Iran as we speak, for gawd's sake. Omar Kuddus is approaching the end of his rope, and here we are in our little bubble.

Since we were all involved in tormenting you, we should know what you would like PinkNews to do to put things straight.

And I will take that hug, now. I'll give you one too.

No hug? Oh, never mind. The important thing is that RobN showed up just in time. We hate him, and we love him, but he don't hug either. Off to gay Paris for me, cheri, je t'adore, mon amour, mon trésor, Piaf and all that.

Try to forget it, Mike, it's OK for us to be touchy. If you only knew. John K is not a bad person, had our best interest at heart. He's a clear thinker, he don't hug either. Sigh.

Thank you for clarifying that you . . . . did draw a link between homosexuality and paedophilia.!!!

I am glad that this matter has now been settled.

Where is your evidence that you did not draw a link between homosexuality and paedophilia – a transcript of the radio programme would suffice?

Without it you remain a homophobic bigot.

Mike Mendoza: If you read back on threads on this website you will see many comments by over-reactionary, moaning old faggots that will jump at the chance of attacking anyone who doesn't have glowing praise for every single homosexual, transexual, pansexual, asexual, arsesexual, bannanasexual person on the planet.

As a gay man, please accept my apologies for these fuckwits on my behalf, and please do not feel offended that you have been persecuted for a slip of the tongue. Jonathan Ross would have been administered a lethal injection for his recent comments had these people had their way.

Speaking of homophobic remarks, Monkeychops has been flushed out by Pumpkin Pie on the thread about the British Embassador to Poland defending gay rights.

Monkeychops is an ex-gay fundamentalist fanatic attempting to infiltrate our website and turn us against each other while pretending to be a master of the proper 'rules' of debating. See you there.

Of course. Why are we so touchy anyway? gawd knows how history has been kind to us! Here, read this:

Sunday, June 14th

c. 427 BCE – on this date PLATO was born (d: 347 BCE). This is hardly the place to summarize the teachings of one of antiquity's greatest thinkers. Suffice it to say that Plato, through his famous Symposium, has given his name to the love that dare not speaks its name nor show its little faerie wings in public, even though Platonic love has come to mean lately a kind of sexless friendship.

That Platonic love before Freud was clearly Gay love is evident in Patience, Gilbert and Sullivan's devastating satire on the aesthetic movement, in which the effeminate poet Bunthorne sings about "an attachment à la Plato for a bashful young potato and not too French, French bean!"

Plato was born with the name Aristocles. He was surnamed Plato because of his exceptionally well-developed broad shoulders.

Yes, we gays do have broad shoulders, don't we?

Have you ever been torn limb from limb by a team of wild horses? Ever had your entrails pulled out of you and tossed in the air before your very eyes?

Ever been chained to a pillar in St. Marc's Square (Venice) and burned alive, screaming so loudly as to prevent city officials from concentrating on their paper work? Have you ever been arrested and tortured 'cause someone decided you walk funny?

Oh, we are a touchy bunch… it's called surviving in a 'real man's world', you know the world of wars, and wars and wars…barf! And all in the name of some lovin' diety who is said to be a REAL MAN, wow!

Oh, I don't mean that; i'm just foolin' around, that's all.

By the way, I believe your 'CAPS LOCK' is on.
