I'd have to agree.....but would add that I suspect that a lot of what he does / says is worse than it appears.

Me too - he's a sly one, but, also, sometimes he just 'doesn't get it.' Whilst much of his behaviour and language is really offensive, I think sometimes he does not realise at all- we've often seen him checking out with other hms if he's done anything wrong, so it's not helped when Team Lisa say he hasn't when he blatantly has! I also think he's really not very bright, socially aware or has any emotional intelligence. Marcus made, (one of many,) digs at him last night, can't remember exactly, but something about masturbation, Sree obviously didn't have the first clue what he meant and Marcus said 'whatever' rather than explain

I really didn't expect to be defending Sree after that argument. He was such a twonk!

You're doing a sterling job.
I listened to it again and I agree that he meant the dyslexia comment the way you say, but unfortunately it came in a sea of wrong accusations so I still don't like him (I'd defend him now and again though as in the Noirin argument).

He can be, but his speech is always flowery and rambling.
In the conversation with Freddie last night, Freddie listened to Sree and said "You always speak in a stream of consciousness", which is true.
It was actually a very interesting conversation and I think they both understood each other better by the end of it!

They are more similar than they know...both seem to have problems with social integration and understanding social cues. Sree did actually listen to Freddie which must be a first that he didn't just interrupt/talk over. Mind you, by the end of it I thought Freddie was unconsciously talking about himself more than Sree.

I really don't expect people to like him - he's not exactly everyone's cup of tea.

I really just wanted to explain how I understood it, as I hate to see people who have dyslexia, or have family members with it, feeling offended when it wasn't meant that way.

I've slept on it...

He's still a git...

Indeed!

I felt I understood them both better by the end of it.

I think the difference between them is that Sree, as he admitted, had been very much under his parents' control, until he came to England, whereas Freddie was sent away to boarding school at the age of nine, so was chucked in at the deep end a lot earlier.
