I was in a discussion that became heated in chat at some point when one person became verbally abusive.

I had mentioned that I did not pass a urine drug screen. I can prove 2 violations, but the other, amphetamines, I believe is a false positive. In chat I was sharing information I had learned from my pharmacist and GP. One my VERY REMOTE ideas was that my son's Ritalin bottle was grabbed by accident in place of my Fludrocortisol/Florinef as both are very similar in size and shape, and their bottles are white and poorly marked with the name of the person and medication (small enough to have to search for them on the bottle). I did mention that this was virtually impossible as his medications are kept in a separate, secured location.

This guy's next comment was "What the %#@&#! did the doctor say?" I replied that he said that he understood and agreed but that the policy of their office is once a patient is dropped, they never except them back.

Next he said "Since you take your son's Ritalin, you must be a %#@&#! addict to the max".

I told him "Given your choice of vernacular, I have to question the validity of your intelligence". (I need to apologize for my behavior for the comment.)

His reply: "Addicts are known for intellectualizing their problems".

Is that comment correct? In all that I have learned about addiction behavior (attended addiction classes as my father is addicted to alcohol, in my opinion).
