One of things we do upon getting a new member, if they're comfortable is telling about the degree of sight and how they went blind. Usually we do this just in case anyone needs assistance. Well one of the new members went blind from type 2 diabetes. And I admit my first thought was "Ew" and my second was "Your fat ass doesn't need to be here." And yeah, Mark is fat. I'm trying to figure out what to do about this, I feel really awful.
Did you actually say this to him?
