Now you see, Chuck, that’s interesting, because you say that you’ve never suggested that you believe that my daughter actually deserves what she’s going through, and then you follow that up with your bullshit “God is the instrument of irony” bullshit.
Now how is God as an instrument of irony different in any way from some sort of karmic or divine retribution? You contradict yourself, and in doing so you make it very clear what you think I deserve and how that is being handed down to me.
So you are a guy who piously states that he doesn’t think an innocent little girl deserves a congenital disability because you think her father is a jerk, and then goes on tho explain at length that actually, you really do believe exactly that. You talk about how I used to do nothing but make fun of retarded people, and yet I haven’t seen even one example of my doing so.
And I’m the asshole?
I hope you’re right about there being no such thing as karmic retribution, because otherwise, someone should advise your next-door neighbors to move.
And for the record, fuck you too.
Hmm. You say you were horrified when you read of Schuyler’s diagnosis, you say that Rob and his family have every ounce of your sympathy. Yet as they cope with some of the most difficult news they’ll ever receive, the way you choose to convey said sympathy is with an evil-spirited jab followed by a “Fuck. You.” Real nice. Beautiful timing.
Your suggestion that Rob’s journal used to consist mostly of “short bus” jokes is ludicrous and easily disproven with a glance through his archives. But in any case, if this campaign against him is actually — as you claim — motivated by anger at your friend’s hurt feelings, I have to ask: do you really think this is the way your friend would prefer you to come to his defense? Will it soothe him to know that you’ve caused pain to a person whose situation is in some ways similar to his own? Will he think “Awesome… this guy just found out his daughter will never talk and Chuck called him names. That makes me feel so much better!”? My guess would be no.
And one more thing: while believe you’ve been quite clear that Schuyler doesn’t deserve her diagnosis, I thought exactly the opposite when I read what you’d written. So did Rob, obviously. We are both intelligent people and so are many of the others who will interpret your words the same way we did. Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you really didn’t mean it that way, I think you should know that’s how it can come across. Sometimes the impact of a person’s words does not match the intention behind them. You might want to think about acknowledging that fact, rather than implying that anyone who interprets your writing differently from the way you meant it is an asshole.
You know, you’re going on and on about how Rob has mischaracterized you but you’re the only one who’s been bringing up names here.
Honestly, can you blame someone for getting angry at that “God is an iron” crap? Christ.
“you are, yes, an asshole.
But, hey, you’re Tragedy Dad — I guess that makes it okay.”
So what’s your excuse?
Whoa. I’ve read the entries that were written and I didn’t get the impression that Chuck was saying anything mean towards the situation with Rob’s daughter. I think that maybe everyone is jumping the gun here and needs to back up a little bit.
“Well, well, well… It seems that some people aren’t oblivious to the effects of their self-titled “Karmic Boomerang” after all. Sounds like he’s finally gotten the tiniest inkling that maybe that ol’ Boomerang might come whipping toward his own house every once in awhile.”
I find it hard to believe anyone could have a difficult time seeing how that statement might be interpreted as ‘mean.’
