Can you tell me why?

I'm never happy when someone I call a friend is put down by what can only be called verbal bullying. SInce none of Josephs friends have seen fit to correct the bully, I have to assume this bully scares you too. He is certainly implying that Joseph is less than all male, and possibly gay. Its a nasty thing that, when you say "oh come on call him by his name, Joseph" he'll be all in your face about only joking etc. I'd tell him its a poor joke in bad taste and you've heard it once too often, but then I'm pretty outspoken. If Joseph is my friend I'd say something, friends don't let friends fend for themselves in this circumstance.

oh well maybe your friend acts like female everytime he see's him

evidently u are blind to your own ignorance and idealism ways of everyone deserves to be treated equally. Whatever you are fool and i feel sorry for your lame upbringing ok. Joseph needs to grow some big ones and put old dude in his place. Maybe old dude what joseph to be his josephine behind closed doors ok. An let that TR knight friend of your defend himself or else he'll keep getting picked on like the whimp he is

If he is doing it to be mean spirited, then you guys should stick up for your friend and tell him to knock it off. You might want to ask Joseph how he feels about being called Josephine. If he doesn't mind, then I wouldn't worry about it.

If Joseph is your friend, stand up for him!

H$ll! its wrong to see anyone get bullied and not do anything about it

that what guys do. he's just being funny. don't say anything to anybody. if joseph doesn't like it, let him handle it.

unless it bothers him...i would let it go
