Quote:You’ve completely missed the point, and selectively omitted a detail, in order to work yourself up into a self-righteous lather.  I did not imply that simply not having a cell phone was an indicator of mental illness or homelessness.  Had you withheld your exalted judgment beyond the first sentence, it is easily surmised that I clearly meant the absence of a phone AND credit cards, coupled with his mysterious disappearance, is an indicator of past troubles.  Mental illness and/or homelessness being obvious choices because that could explain the disappearance and the lack of means to own either a phone or credit cards.  

With that being said, I'm happy the man has been found. However, the family's decision to post missing person fliers at detox centers indicates he has demons to keep at bay. From the reports out now, he was found safe and sober. That's good news.

 

Self-righteous lather? My, aren't you the sensitive one. Someone questions you and you're ready to get out the belt, I guess. Wouldn't want to be one of your kids.

 

Ok, I get it. If you don't have a cell phone and credit cards on you that's a sure sign of mental illness or homelessness. Got it.

 

I'll be looking to you for future insights of a sociological nature.
