LAT has the scoop on a certain clash on the set of 'The A-Team'. Seems Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, the mixed martial arts champ who revamps the role of B.A. Baracus, got into a tussle with a crew member:
...a movie crew member had wandered in on this final day of principal photography and — whether jokingly or not — called the muscle-bound movie star a homophobic epithet.
He claimed the crew member's intent had been to provoke a physical assault. "That … wanted me to punch him so he could sue me," the professional body-slammer explained, using a certain 12-letter curse word that he lets fly often in conversation — a word that has no business appearing in a family newspaper and, for the sake of this article, will here on out be substituted with "individual."

Let's see...a 12 letter word. What could it have been?
This comment by Jackson lends insight into events:
"Acting is kind of gay," Jackson said. "It makes you soft. You got all these people combing your hair and putting a coat over your shoulders when you're cold. I don't want a coat over my shoulders! I'm a tough-ass [individual]!
Perhaps he was a little sensitive about it. Seeing how he had just wrapped a movie and done all that acting and all. Glad things didn't get out of hand.
