And really have you read some of his previous posts? He's trolling.

I don't disagree -- I've met him, and we get along just fine, so it wasn't a matter of inferring ill will.

And while the post certainly was obviously not going all jw"slaughter the gays"kniska on the DT community, it's just f*cking unnecessary, and it's not about having a sense of humor or playing a victim.

Just like people who want to rip Obama to shreds should do so because of what he does without adding a "joke" about him being Black, this article would've gotten a perfectly solid response all by itself, because Frank is insufferable on the merits of the insufferable way he always acts and nothing more. Perhaps that's unconventional and I shouldn't take it seriously in a freaking internet message board, but attack what people think and what they do, not who they are.
