You are lying. You wrote that for the explicit purpose of causing pain. Your *obvious* intent was to say something upsetting and angering. So don't give me any of this nonsense about a joke. You are nothing but an insensitive, immature bully and you do not deserve to be among this group.
So he intended to cause pain? Big deal. I'm beginning to believe the book "I'm Disfunctional, You're Disfunctional": it concludes that people involved in the recovery movement are generally doing the opposite. I'm the sort of guy who gets flamed constantly. I've been called the worst possible things. Hasn't hurt me or crippled me. Calling people names is stupid, but individuals who can't take being called names are emotional cripples. Perry
