Well, I'm going to contend he's guilty of clipper ship since apparently what words mean isn't relevant and so we can just pick the ones we like.

As for Shirvell in particular, it doesn't matter if he's a homo-hater not having gay sex - - he IS acting on his homosexuality via his obsession with Armstrong.

And you know this how? If he isn't gay he's doing the exact same thing but apparently being gay is not his motivation for it. Whatever that motivation is would, I presume, be a motivation a gay man can have as well.

If you want to find the technical term for that psychosis, I'll be happy to consider ceding hypocrisy.

A policy of using whatever word happens to be at hand when you don't know the right word for what you're talking about is going to cause pointless debate. I know it is a weird foible, but a lot of people start on the assumption that when someone uses a word they mean the word they say.
