In reply to the discussion: Snowden (who really does, apparently, have epilepsy) helps an epileptic. [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)15. Aerows read the thread and the little gleeful conversation
you and randome had in this thread and was absolutely disgusted by what you both implied.
If pointing out how ugly your smear was against everyone with epilepsy is upsetting and disgraceful to you, imagine how those whose loved ones and those on this board who have epilepsy feel when they read what you wrote.
If you have no shame, that's on you, but don't sit there and claim that isn't what you two implied.
