2. It’s an even better lesson in how not to handle controversy. (Tip: Keep your mouth shut, don’t threaten people with wiccan tenfold retaliations*, and don’t announce in public that you will sue for “deformation” of character.)
3. It’s a lesson in how not to use your disability and life circumstances as excuses for your mistakes.
4. I’ll quiz you about it six months from now.
