I don't think he meant anything by it when he said "two fags" the first time. I am not going to comment on the exchange with Harbone,that is between them. I think his comment,as intended,could have been two "jokers" two "idiots" two "dumbasses' whatever. Insert whatever insult you please. Point being I don't think he meant "fag" to be taken literaly.
JMO!!
