I think Micheal has had some issues with people and his sexuality,and his automatic response is to get defensive. I think that's just the way Richard is,he likes jokey banter with his friends..I don't think calling Micheal "she" is derogatory,unless you have personal issue with it. Richard hasn't gone down in my estimations,i knew he likes to wind people up,although his dishonesty about his inability to recall the conversation he had with micheal about his issue with being called "she" was not very admirable. But overall i'm not too sure about micheal,he's very strange and unpredictable,which is good entertainment value,so long live micheal (at the moment)
