So yeah, you either get that some people might take offense even if you don't mean to cause offense - or you don't.

Social interactions can sometimes require a bit of finesse and most people can do with a bit of refining in certain situations. If you aren't capable of coping diplomatically with people who may be sensitive to certain things, then so be it.

We have to take into account the different ways of saying things from a cultural point of view. We also have to remember that maybe Gary has been just a little bit of a recluse, I do not know what sort of home he has but he loves horses, this gives me the impression of freedom. As he said he has been trying to understand things, he puts it into his mind and sort of chews it over. At the end of the day, he is of the age whereby he doesnt have to change for anyone and I do not think he will for anyone of them in there, they have to earn his respect and they havent done that.

Hopefully he will realise that a vast amount of the public love him and admire his way of coping with things, it certainly hasnt been easy for him.
