    I'm pretty sure you are the only one who read his sentence the wrong way. The way you're reading it doesn't even make that much sense given the context.

    Ditto.

    I thought this was perfectly appropriate given the situation. Maybe a little harsh, but not entirely unwarranted, in my opinion. If there wasn't any doubt at all about the legitimacy of the original post, this wouldn't have been said, and wouldn't be an issue.

    Look, I've been lurking these boards for years, and I'm not even gonna pretend that Bryan isn't often insincere.

    You don't even have have to lurk to know that. I've been digging around Bryans posts which go back to last year and I found some things that I can't ... well... explain or find a word for.

    Cool. Thanks for the upate on what you do. I don't recall ever saying Bryan was; I'm saying that was a bullshit low brow comment.

    I've seen them and yeah he can be abrasive,caustic, and a bit arrogant at times. Thing is nine times out of ten he's right and/or justified. One thing I don't remember him doing is making ad hominem personal attacks of the kind you are supporting.

    Dude I have ADHD...And maybe some form of Autism who knows I never tested but Aspergers just meens you need to finds a chill pill and think more thoroughly.

    I have a friend who has Aspergers and his 4 year old Brother and they function almost normally but they get worked up easily....

    Now if you insulted us with any/all mental conditions well I'll see about this apology of yours :p

    I have to admit that I am amused that Bryan cares enough to read the thread (yes, I happened to check his profile a few minutes ago while he was reading this thread), but he does not care enough to post again.

    I mean, I apologized, which was the point of the post. I could care less what a bunch of internet nobodies--most of whom aren't even the ones I'm addressing the apology towards--think about the sincerity of it.

    IRREGARDLESS, I suppose I'll post since I'm here and don't want to look like I'm hesitant to share my opinion just because I now have Asperger's:

    I don't know whose posts you've been reading--I'm ALWAYS sincere. Unless I'm being sarcastic, but then it's so transparent you could hardly characterize it as insincere.

    A testament more to you're vocabulary than anything else.

    Could be that.

    Could just be that half of all marriages end in divorce regardless.

    Could even be the multiple goddam deployments and unique stressors of my job.

    Besides, I'm remarried now--to a wonderful woman who understands my work and its challenges as well as her role as the woman in a relationship.

    So, you wanted to apologize. Mission accomplished. You clearly care, however, or else you wouldn't have been reading the thread multiple times a day. Your words and your actions do not align.

    Ok, technically speaking, your words and your actions do align thanks to the misuse of what should be "couldn't care less." I understand what I believe to be your intended message though.

    It seems he doesn't need to post again. If I posted what he did and got such a response (a response that should have been expected) from those who defend this "disease" (or is it a "condition"?) then I wouldn't need to post again. Mission Accomplished.

    From what I see, The majority have something that qualifies as a disorder right now.
