I don't know how it devolved into the current "my pain is worse" thing with the other poster.

It's polite to ping someone you're talking about. Please refer yourself to your post 99, and you'll see what you said. Apparently, you've forgotten.

I said this:

The pain of being boiled alive is far worse than anything you're ever likely to experience.

I think it's pretty obvious I was stating that you, along with me, my neighbors and most other members of the human race, are not likely to have suffered any physical harm to compare with being boiled alive, or to have undergone physical pain to compare with it. This isn't a controversial statement - it's also unlikely that you, I and everyone we know have ever won the lottery or been struck by lightning. I have no idea why you feel this is some sort of personal attack on you.
