Wouldn’t it be just awesome if you stopped telling me what I meant to say and actually asked me what I was thinking?

Ugh. Yet another person who thinks ‘take with a big grain of salt’ means ‘she’s lying.’

Sure, as long as you ignore the fact that I said it was ALSO BECAUSE SHE’S A TEENAGER.

The difference is that saying you’re skeptical means you’re open to the possibility that she’s telling the truth but not immediately ready to accept it.

The worst pizza I ever had was from a street vendor in Rome. It was just god-awful. And burnt too.

Please tell me when I said she’s not credible at all.

So first I’m saying her opinion is worthless and now I’m saying people with mental illness are lesser people? Wow, I’m a monster! I don’t know why you’re even talking to me!

So depression and anxiety are not symptoms of mental illness?

That sounds like it might be a lot of fun. I always thought it was weird that they always got actual Asian actors to play Charlie Chan’s sons, but the guy playing Chan was always white.

Oh I see what you’re doing. What a cute little troll.

Depression and anxiety are symptoms of mental illness.

Sorry, I have no interest in enlightening someone who does nothing but hurl insults at me when I’ve not made this personal at all.

That’s... not what skeptical means. But thanks for the needless insult.

I didn’t say she can’t. I said take it with a huge grain of salt. Why do so many people think that expression means “she’s lying?”

I don’t think anyone has ever accused Rosie O’Donnell of being normal.

So you think ‘take what she’s saying with a huge grain of salt’ means ‘discount her words?’ Weird, I thought it meant ‘don’t automatically believe it’s the truth.’

I am not saying she is a liar, I’m saying I’m skeptical.

I’m not sure why that’s relevant...

Um... depression and anxiety are symptoms of mental illness...

I didn’t say her viewpoint is worthless. I said I take it with a huge grain of salt. I’ve got bipolar disorder myself, so I actually do have personal experience with mental illness. She’s a mentally ill teenager. So was I. I would have said the same sort of things about my parents and they wouldn’t have been true. I…
