Backstory:
Sinicalypse started a thread dissing David Kaplan for growing a goatee. A weird thing to be angry about to be sure, but it's his opinion nonetheless. Then along comes RFDC:

The fact that grandpa made you shave your beard really pisses you off, huh?
Sini (rightfully) took great offense to this and responded with a very heartfelt and surprisingly easy-to-follow response:

hey motherfucker, i'm going to break kayfabe and be real fucking blunt about something here:
i live with my grandfather because he pulled me out of a pool when i was drowning at the age of 7. i would be dead if it were not for him, got that? while i'm sure you're this close to a "i wish he had let you drown" joke and it's an easy stereotype to jump on a ~30 year old dude living with his grandfather, i want you to know that i live with him because my way of thanking him for the whole being alive thing is that i personally make sure he's never had to nor will he ever go to a nursing home. i came in here when my grandmother was on the virge of needing a nursing home and made sure she could live out her final days with dignity in the house that she spent ~45+ years making her own, and i've been sticking around to extend the same courtesy to my grandfather so he doesn't end up dying alone.
he's the best man i've ever known... and he means more to me than dumb messageboard posts can express, and your invoking him is really really pissing me off.
so yeah, go ahead and stereotype me as some sort of stereotypical loser or whatever it is that you get off to... fine. i'll kick back and keep saving up my cash for down the road, you won't believe me, and we'll go from there... but like, if you're insinuating some shit about my grandfather and perhaps making a statement about him, i just want you to know that my dislike of you will transcend the board and become a truly personal hated of you, got that shithead?
so please, for both of our sakes (mainly mine) please forget that i have a grandfather and keep his name/title/intimation out of your conversational lexicon with me and i'll keep my dislike of you strictly professional and on the board. be civil, because if you haven't noticed this is a very touchy subject with me. the dude's 95 years old and i'd take a proverbial bullet for him today and trade the rest of my life for him, even if it meant he only lived three more weeks. i owe him that much because he's already given me a life that quite honestly i shouldn't have.
