If you are asking me: If I had a radio show, would I talk about my brother or autistic son? the answer is yes....just like I'd talk about drunk exploists of friends, my sister losing the diamond out of her engagement ring at the mastadon show.....whatever the hell I felt like without calling someone a dumbass cracker, retard, or chinaman.

Again , pose that question to Dan . I assume you have no kids nor do you have a kid with special needs... So your an expert on how to raise a child with special needs? I love people who can judge others but have no merit for their argument .

Dahl , Stern , Johnny B, ect, have all had segments on embrassing moments with thier kids. So you can throw that lame argument out the window.


Will agree to disagree but have some facts when you want people to side with your thoughts. Call Dan and ask to spend the day with him and see what is like to spend a day in the life with a parent of a child who has special needs and then you can come back here and tell us how it is to spend a day with a special need parent and child.

The question has been posed to Dan here, he can respond if he wishes. And I have spent many days with parents of autistic children, including Dan himself.

There is a difference between sharing funny moments with a child, and personal moments with a child.

The point I try to make reasonates with many people here. Possibly even Mac himself.

When and if you ever have children, you may change your approach to this specific instant. To call names doesn't help you state a better case, especially when you make repeated assumptions that are petty and incorrect.

i have no idea what's going on...

I don't mean to speak for Seacrest. But I think he's basically saying that he has a problem when someone publicly shares such personal information about a child with autism when they wouldn't dream of doing the same when it comes to a child that doesn't have autism.

If that is what you are saying Seacrest, I kinda agree with you. But it's completely up to the parent to make that call. I don't knock Mac for sharing any information he chooses to. It doesn't mean I would necessarily do the same....

o.k....

that's fine. but autism is a different animal.
Mac also gets paid to talk. we don't and it was pre MJH Outing week anyway.

If it was one of his "normal" child whipping it out in class, I think Mac might be the type of person to mention that as well.


whatever.
you guys talk about what you want to whom you want whenever you want.

Seacrest,
It pretty clear from the choice of words you use to describe masturbation (self abuse) that the topic is taboo in your social setting.
What you're missing is, that to those of us without that hang up, it was nothing more than an example of the challenges faced by a father of an autistic son.

Ivan,

That is the point that I was trying to get across. Thanks Ivan. However, I don't believe that it is my right to share any info about our kids that I want to.

Salespeople get paid to talk also.

I guess we will have to wait and see if Mac's oldest son's name comes up.

Rob what you are missing is that since someone chooses not to masturbate, doesn't mean that they have a hang up about it. As a parent of children, I can assure the option to take part in masturbation is discussed quite regularly. So that challenge should be fced by any parent.

no...
Salesmen get paid to sell.
you can type and email and not say a word.

Thanks for allowing me to post what I want, whenever I want.

Try not to take yourself so seriously.

You understood my post perfectly, and I have little to add. Apology or not, there's nothing hypocritical about it--- I made a deliberately insulting post to show Mac how offensive his comments might be. Tom Mees's death involved his child; therefore Mac's son was appropriate for satire.

You got the point, obviously. Dan got the point. Seacrest had some different but interesting points. It's really heartwarming to see an internet driveby spark such thoughtful conversation.

By the way, I apologize to Mac and his son wholeheartedly for the cruel tone of my earlier post.
