		<description>It is no coincidence that Shirvel sought a prosecutorial positon. (assistant attorney general).  Just wonder how many cases the loose cannon corrupted on the basis of perceived  sexual orientation?   He is scary!</description>

		<description>This guy Shirvell strikes me as one who was rejected somewhere in his past, was attracted to Armstrong to no avail, and decided to do whatever he could to destroy anyone he perceived to be &quot;not normal&quot;.  A gay sex life is no different than a &quot;straight&quot; one.  We want sex, companionship and a loving relationship that is treasured, and nutured by doing for each other.  Someone please explain to me what the hell is wrong about this?  (No Revs, no Drs, no Fathers or other pseudo-saints need comment).</description>

		<description>I think Ruslan&#039;s right.  He&#039;s stuck in the closet and can&#039;t seem to see the latch in the dark.  

And an additional &quot;right on!&quot; to Mrs. Biscuitbarrel.</description>

		<description>Shirvell strikes me as a classic example of the prototypical homophobe - a self-hating gay person who is in desperate denial.
I hope he seeks treatment, and eventually learns to accept his true identity.</description>

		<description>If you&#039;ve never seen Shirvell on TV, you owe it to yourself to watch him.  As this article implies, I never would have heard of him were it not for his insane rantings about one guy.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s always difficult for a bully when someone stands up to him.  It seems unlikely that the harassment suit will be thrown out but if it is there may be grounds to replace it with a libel suit.  Armstrong is setting an excellent example for bullied yout.</description>
