Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl00231)

Alex,
My friend and fellow heresiarch,  you, of all people, know that I am not
going to disparage anyone's sexual orientation, my own tastes being what they
are as well as my activist status in the alternative lifestyle community, but
I have never in any context heard the word "fruitcake" applied in any way
other than refering to the amount of nuts loose on the earth, except of
course for the inedible xmas concoction.  Now maybe slang is different where
you are, in which case we must defer to your experience, and I would never
deliberately use a word that I knew offended you unless I was very, very,
very, very pissed, but this time you may be just a bit overboard.  I doubt
that Keith meant it in any way other than to say that Bubba Free John is a
loon, which he is.
Let's just consider the word a miscommunication and put an end to this
thread.
