         Well, on Dallas's point.....   Calling someone a "him/her" when you
know (from the signed private letter to Dallas, which Dallas posted
publically) that they are a Man is the same as labelling them a homosexual.
Wouldn't you agree?  To most/all  male heterosexuals, this is highly
offensive, especially so when it is done in your absence, and thus unable to
defend yourself.  A person who regarded themselves as a homosexual would not
find it offensive.
      If you say it is not offensive, you haven't understood the issue, or you
have personal knowledge they guy is "gay,"or you are a liar, or you regard
yourself as a homosexual, which is not anyone's business.
     As regarding Rilke's frequent lewdness (and my lewding her back for
effect, at least)  - it is a matter of record.  I can re-post one that is
especially off-color for effect.
       There's a lot of chickens on this site!
