    I never said I was offended. I said the language vilifies people will mental illnesses.

    I don’t know why it is inappropriate to try to prove a point. And no, I don’t know they had no ill intentions. I was hoping that the language was inadvertently hurtful. After the discussion, I honestly feel that the other party does in fact harbor some toxic views of people who are mentally ill. I was hurt in disappointment, not confusion. I was confused why one couldn’t disavow something so simple. I don’t know if I’d rather have the confusion or disappointment.

    I’m not choosing an interpretation either. Do you know what was said?
