What is the matter that you have to be so picky and catty?
I'm "picky" because the words you use set the tone of the conversation. You sought to, IMO, control the language being used to shape and form perceptions. That's propaganda!
You were sloughing this off as "a disability" even though you later said that's not what you meant. My "problem", if it can be considered one, is that you shouldn't have used that phraseology to begin with if that wasn't what you meant.
As to being "catty", that is your own interpretation of my responses.

Do you have a chip on your shoulder about something today?
Nope.

Think what you like. You are like the Dems who won't believe the truth. You know what I meant, and I didn't try to slough off any unintended meaning. I know the difference in a disability per a government decision, and simply saying someone has an emotional disability because their emotional/mental state is disabled from reacting normally. Obviously that is your problem if you can't see that I meant no legal term. My son is blind...that is a disability in the eyes of the law, and I know the legal definition, thank you.

If the term I used bothers you so much that it incurs such anger from you perhaps you are emotionally challenged. No one else had ANY problem understanding the point and meaning of what I said and how I stated it. This is not a contest for a Pulitzer prize. We write quickly and we do not have to be edited.

You knew exactly what I meant and you are making a mountain out of a mole hill when, the real issue here, is that I was explaining the character and traits of a narcissist. You lost the value of that in your rush to pick on one word that you claim threw you off (and obviously over the cliff). Get over it.
