I was describing my insane in-laws for the record.

Sorry, I didn't mean to strike a nerve. Also sorry to hear you and your spouse have some difficulties with mental and physical challenges in today's world. I hope you can find some understanding people to cooperate with.

Intent deducing should also go both ways, I did interpret your posts in a somewhat light-hearted manner in line with the comm vibe, but it also just doesn''t sit right with me using real disorders people have as an insult. I replied in it in the same format as you did but you seemed took offense when I did it even though you used the same format in your comment.

Anyway, I wish you good luck in your journey and thanks for reading.

As I said, it was not an insult - that you choose to interpret it that way is on you.

I really don't understand why people find it acceptable to make a joke where the punchline is accusing someone of having a mental illness.

To me there is very little difference between that and putting someone down.

Why is it funny to accuse someone with making a minor correction of having OCD?
