I agree with that completely.

Back to Edele,I still like her but it surprised me that she chose to,knowing he has hearing difficulties,make the comment to another in the first place and in a way he couldn't hear it clearly too.

When he added a comment she said she was saying something else,now I do like Edele and she has heavy personal issues in her own life at present.
I would however have thought that would have made her more tolerant of others rather than to attempt to ridicule them.

I hope she is not now going to jump on the bandwagon with most of the others to get at Gary who in fact, as you point out in your post, has never made a really rude or in fact insulting remark about any of them that we have seen.
