To borrow a quote from tyiron: "I (too) have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things." I suppose if I didn't stutter, I would have got in a lot more trouble than I should. I get very agitated when I see bullying and injustice, and stuttering has certainly made me look another way, simply because I couldn't bear the argument phase. Growing up in a very rough neighbourhood, I would dare say stuttering might have saved my life more often than I know.
