I can say my OP was harsh, but not exactly COMPLETELY out of line- though a little. Michael/Ricky you have to understand when someone says I have a disability, get SSI, and can afford lavish expenditures the pot will be stirred. I am familiar with your disorder though you claimed you had a different disorder in the Woot Barrack Obama thread so I am slightly confused as multicore myopathy is only referred to as that and minicore multicore myopathy to my knowledge. I am not calling you a liar by any means though
I'm not sure where you read a different disability, but if it was referred to as minicore it was only because that was the most similar, and easier to find form of the disease. It is called Multi Core, and good luck finding much information, if you find someone with it in your search, let me know
However, I must say ever so gently that you and ricky love to go all out and bash people whose opinions you don't like, and then get beyond defensive when bashed back. Thats not how mud slinging works- when you sling it- you get it and take it.
Also, let's seperate Ricky and I in posts, though I stand by most of what he says. I just may not be able to expand on what he says, and vice versa. But I never made any personal attacks under this thread until I was specifically called out, and the whole subject of my dog was absolutely irrelevant, and very offensive. My posts were based on my opinions, as much as they differ from yours, I never called you out, but you did call me out. You can't say I love bashing people, and you can't substantiate it either. I hate having to defend personal attacks, and would rather not have to respond to them. Everyone who made personal attacks about me started because of a disagreement with my opinion, so that's the difference.
My post though harsh wasn't meant to be offensive so on that note if you were offended by my off base spade calling sorry. Dog is after all mans best freind and I can relate to working extra hard for the things you want and do believe you have some sort of muscle disease which makes this task harder.
I didn't think you were calling any spades with your post, it was irrelevant even in the sense that you disagreed with my thoughts on equality. You jumped on a band wagon of unfair accusations, and all of this happened with no provocation from me. I'm not saying my posts were completely innocent, but I was stating my opinion about the actual topic, while some of you were just hitting below the belt just to be offensive.
I am sure it was tough growing up different and not interacting in the same way as your peers could, I am sure you were teased, and probably to some extent felt like an outcast; maybe your hyper defensiveness stems from these experiences. Others and myself can only react to your responses which by the way have peronally attacked many on the basis of age, looks, and intelligence so before being offended by my personal attack remember you too my friend are just as guilty.
Actually I was never teased all that much, my brother and I have pretty quick wit, and it was too easy to come up with lower jabs than making fun of us for our disability, so we had no problems making friends. And although life for me was greatly different from my peers, I never really felt like an outcast. The hardest part was not wanting to explain our disability, so alot of people never really knew, other than the fact that we were much thinner, and never joined in anything athletic. Our hyper defensiveness comes from other people's hyper offensiveness, and our convictions, not our disability, and my brother and I have different ways of dealing with responses as well. I also don't recall making fun of somebodies age, looks, intelligence, etc.. I'm not trying to seem like an angel, I just don't think anything I said was specifically targeted to one person, unless it was in my defense.
I respect your candidness though and hope you accept my appology
I accept your apology, and I hope you can accept mine. It says alot about you to admit you may have crossed the line a bit, so thank you. I may have been a little over the line with my response, but when I checked back into this thread after a couple days, I was very offended to see that this turned into something about my disability or lack there of (still don't know why), so that's why I was very quick to get angry.
