And why shouldn't I be? I've admitted why THIS particular issue bothers me--why I would be passionate about correcting negative comments on this topic. When I made slurs against people on anti-depressants a few months ago, I rightfully got my ass handed to me. It's easy to be flippant and catty about certain things, forgetting that certain people are trying to work against such comments, forgetting that some people get hurt by such comments.
Despite the popular belief on BWW that Jerby has no sense of humor, blah blah blah, I actually have a very wicked sense of humor. I love unPC humor. But, there's a time and a place for it. When and where it should be ok to make jokes about people's illnesses is not something I clearly know. But, when you speak in mixed company, be prepared for rebuttal. If you want to rail against that rebuttal as many of you have--fine. But this is not a private conversation--we are typing very much in public.
Sorry, I'm raining on the parade.
