I didn't mean from the receiving end, I meant from the delivering end. I've come to view DFA as a fairly sarcastic fellow, and someone who genuinely doesn't represent anyone who would actually kick _anything_ in the teeth. He even appears downright sensitive at times (worried about sounding like texplorita here). The other guy who posted the special olympics stuff was genuine in his intentions to ridicule (which was deplorable, to say the least). My father works with abused children and I have been around many of them and seen some genuine tragedies. I caught DFA's intentions and I was not offended because I understood where he was coming from, that's all.
