I have been personally affected by what you call a disease and I can assure you it is no such thing. An addiction is not a disease. Now unless you are unilaterally commandeering the English language and redefining words you should think again.
You should consider an apology for being so ignorant and rude whilst you are at it.

You can argue black is blue all you want. Addiction is officially recognised as both a disease and a genetic predisposition - whether you think it is or you don't, is completely immaterial - I am not commandeering anything other than scientific fact. No need to 'think again', maybe you just need to catch up on some reading.
The fact that you've been personally affected by addiction is something you've decided to bring up, which is obviously meant to both shame me and make me/others think I don't know what I am talking about. It doesn't. Your comment was ignorant, plain and simple. Whether your personal circumstance is/has ever been affected by it doesn't distract from that in the slightest.
Also, I would like to know where on earth I've been rude to you or anyone else? It was pointed out that in 'the real world' Richie would be fired from his job... I argued the case that for the defence. I argued that addiction is seen as a disease and an employer would have a hard time not handing over a large payout in 'the real world' for sacking someone who became addicted to medication that was prescribed to enable them to work. Failing to see how I've been ignorant and rude.
Make some sense, or get back on topic. That was borderline rude, I'll give you that.
