I listened and did not hear Rush "ragging on FReepers". Instead, I heard a lot of CLASS...as I would expect from El Rushbo.
I think Rush knew what the original thread was getting at, and the intent wasn't to call his sexual orientation into question. Just that his words on the McGreedy situation sounds like he was getting in touch with his feeeeeeeelings. It's entirely understandable from someone who went through recovery, IMHO.
Rush is cool, I listen every day. I am suprised he is not tearing mcgayguy a new one......
