Geez, chill out !  I did not get the sense Keith was using the word
"fruitcake" in a way that had anything to do with gays !  I understood Keith
to mean that this guru fellow looks very strange.  Fruitcake has a lot of
meanings, you know?

And Keith did NOT use the word "fag."  Boy.  How quickly one can assume they
are being called names.  I wonder if in a day or two Alexis is going to run
around writing that he's personally been called "heretic" "blasphemer" and
"fag" to boot.

Oh, the evils of Theos-hell !
