Exactly.

Also I had a brief off-list discussion with Joss about this in which I said of 
the post in question:
# I actually wasn't offended.  It merely confirmed my already low opinion of 
# you.

It seems a great stretch to claim that I am homophobic when I have already 
stated that I was not offended by the post in question.

It's the desire to offend others that I find offensive in this case.
