This sub isn't for patients to complain.

Exactly, while I’m sorry this happened to this person, I feel like it’s pretty clear that my main goal here is to find ways to not be that guy

And, that’s all I was pointing out. Wasn’t complaining. No need to complain when I was just stating the facts.

If I came into your support group and started telling everyone about my problems with people like you, I'm pretty sure you'd be unhappy about it.

That's what you've done here, and it's absolutely inappropriate.

Do not do it again.
