Wow! I stay off the forums for just a few hours and look what happened while I was away!
Hy has already.....
played the "medical pity" card, the "I've been belittled and slandered here plenty" card, the implied name calling card, the "I'm so sorry you're swayed by others" card, the "you're a good man but" back-handed complement card, the "your post made me sad" card, and the "I hold no grudges" card.
He is definitely not playing with a full deck.
