They are indeed the words he uses, hence the reason I used them. I meant no disrespect. In fact, I was online with him when I responded to your story. and he approved what I said.

I had no idea about your age or any other status of yours. They aren't mentioned in the piece and sorry, but I can't tell age from a tiny picture on my phone. No more than you can, given you assumed I'm half my friend's age (thanks for that, I'm not, I'm almost exactly 10 years younger than him).

I just know he has expressed, as a disabled man, with a college degree and much to offer, frustrations along the same lines. Sorry if my show of support offended you somehow.
