My first reaction was -- (White font for decency) you stupid cocksucking bitch cunt from hell
But I'm not going to write that.
This is what I wrote instead:
Dear Ms. Hill,
I'm very confused by your recently editorial regarding Wyatt Sexton and I would appreciate some clarifcation.
First -- in your editorial you said "A few weeks ago, I wrote that it would be better if Sexton had a drug problem rather than an incurabel, but treatabel mental condition, such as bipolar disorder."
I was floored to read this. Completely struck dumb and then irate.
Exactly how would it be better? Are you saying that an incurable drug addiction (because there is no cure for drug addiction) is better than an illness that is treatable? I have biploar disorder, I'm on medication and I know that as long as I take my medication I will be stable. If, on the off chance, my medication doesn't work correctly I can go to the doctor and adjust my medication. There is no temptation to face daily, no desire to get high, no craving, no addiction. If this is your position -- that addiction is preferable to a treatable condition -- do you feel that way about all treatable but uncurable conditons? If Wyatt Sexton were diagonsised with Lupus or MS or diabetes would you say, also, that he would be better off a drug addict?
Or did you mean that there is less of a stigma attached to drug addiction? That the general public is more likely to understand and react sympathetically to addiction than it is towards mental illness? Because if that is the case then you are preputating the stigma.
I also take offense at your implication that maybe there is something more than Lyme Disease going on with Sexton, that maybe his family is using the excuse to hide something like drug addiction. (This is af
Finally I feel that you insulted all the residents of Tallahassee by saying that Sexton would not be accepted back here and imply that he should leave before he brings more shame to the Florida State program.
