I still won't 'pity' you. You probably see things everyday that most of us miss.

Deafness hasn't 'handicapped' your ability to communicate in written form, so I treat you as an equal, who can take a joke.

Which makes FR so great. Here, you are not isolated, nor handicapped.
Not to worry, no offence taken.
