Dr,
Pat posted something about how he hated his mother and found her to be a hypocrite, all because she took away something illegal and potentially harmful. By doing so, as Apple pointed out, that means that he left himself open to the opinions of all posters.

And Mignon tried to put perspective on it by pointing out how much she missed her mother's influence in her teen years, and that Pat should feel appreciative rather than resentful.

You, on the other hand, took a very sweet woman's post and well-meaning words of advice, and tried to turn it into something nasty. I believe that you are the one who requires the removal of the stick from his buttocks.
