"but whether such a relationship would be used to garner sympathy from X."

HUH???

How do you infer anything about special olympics or a plea for sympathy from this?? How does having a busy day getting ready for a gymnastics meet suggest an appeal for sympathy??

"My daughter and I have a busy day tomorrow getting geared up for her upcoming gymnastics meet..."

"If I had indeed made the demeaning crack you read into my post, you would have reason to be disappointed. But I didn't."

I am not following you. You did make the demeaning crack that I read in your post. Unless someone else was using your login. I copied and pasted it verbatum so I do not know how anything could be "read into it."

I understand that you were using it as a waggish jibe to provoke JLA. I called it a thoughtless crack because of the obvious ramifications it carries (which I defined) and how that would be painful for the other persons who post on and read this thread. Very innapropriate comment for the lounge area. You and JLA need to get a room.
