Well, I can see that maybe you think your posts were encouraging and trying to be helpful. I can see that maybe you really believe that. Of course, the Segregationists who encouraged the blacks to stay in their places, to enjoy having their very own water fountains untainted by white hands or mouths, to appreciate that there were seats in the bus specially saved for them, were trying to be helpful too. Sometimes what seems like offering help to the person offering it doesn't seem that way to the person receiving it. I am resolved, I was hoping to help you find a path that had some measure of dignity. Well, all I can say is, if that was your hope, you found a mighty strange way of going about it. Calling a person a sicko isn't going to make him feel very warm toward you, for instance, just in case you weren't aware of that.
