-you might want to make that clear. anyone not on lbo would assume that you -meant signorele since he has a history of outting people. this is what i -mean, as well, about indicating complete ignorance about the issues!
Even the original LBNY article forwarded referred to the broad discussion of the topic everywhere from Salon.com to FreeRepublic and I made it clear that it was being passed around the media. And even Signorelle is a civil libertarian on a lot of other issues, as most advocates for gay rights rightly are. That's one reason "outing" is considered so controversial to begin with. Sullivan may have his inconsistencies but so does Signorele.
Because we discussed it on LBO, you assume I was referring just to the discussions here, when the LBNY article referred to the "sensationalism" "gossip" "hot topic" surrounding the discussion of Sullivan - hardly terms of disinterested sober political discussion.

Glee is defined at taking pleasure in finding out that Sullivan was a hypocrite in folks' view. I think the glee was obvious. Expressed in the proper academic or political language but glee by any reasonable definition.
