I suffer from psorisis, which means I wear dead skin daily because my skin cells reproduce too quickly to fall off, so, I find their phrase very offensive. Another example: Is it offensive to not turn in your taxes? No, of course not. Is it wrong? Heck yeah! See, difference.

That is not the right way when talking to kids, Period, and in the beginning I said that is not about HP, but the way he approached the kids, if for some of you it was a joke then good I RESPECT your opinion, but to me it wasn’t funny to talk to kids like that, and I agree with what the staff did, and I hope they (staff) don’t apologize to him, because to ME he was wrong.
