2. Let's parse karlschneider's comment together

I had no idea he was a perv...

OK, karl knew the guy but did not believe he was a sexual pervert.

...I always thought he was gay...

This strongly suggests that "gay" and "pervert" are mutually exclusive, in karl's view.

...but this is too weird...

karl is shocked to learn the guy is a pedophile.

niyad responded:

Clearly karlschneider agrees with niyad.

6. Heh, depends on which part you stress.

This strongly suggests that "gay" and "pervert" are mutually exclusive, in karl's view.

...I always thought he was gay...

vs.

...I always thought he was gay...

;)

7. I wasn't particularly trying to emphasize either the verb or the object,

I just meant it as a somewhat offhand observation. Maybe I should have stressed "always"...

4. Of course I do.
