It was Boltar to whom the term Homophobe was (in my view) incorrectly
applied. My opinion is irrelevant.


You are stating that I am incorrect to use the term "homophobe" for
someone who dislikes homosexuality rather than fearing it. *So I am
asking what term *you* (not Boltar, whose post I didn't read so I
don't know if it was "homophobic" or not) would use to describe that.


The incorrect application of the term "homophobe" came from someone
posting as "nobody" *See

All I have done is question his utilization of the word. *Why does
that compel me to share my prefered vocabulary? *Anti-homosexual might
work. *Do not deduce that I take that position.


Can we refer to other evidence? e.g.:

"It is also time to killfile Mr. Corfield, a sexual deviant in a union
protected public sector job. Paul’s inability to hold together three
logical thoughts, and his tendency to resort to hissy fits when he
cannot win a debate mean his post are not worth reading. And, I do
not want to deal with him."
