He would have asked that if it was a real question and not just an attempt to bash me.

I didn't make too much out of the initial question, but it did immediately strike me as kind of odd (the answer was obvious).  But I wasn't going to say anything until it started to play out.

It went from, paraphrased, "how'd you get one", to "not every partially paralyzed person is eligible", to "if you're lungs were that bad you'd be on an oxygen tank".

I just find the whole line of questioning completely unecessary and in incredibly poor taste.  I also thought the badgering showed the true motivation for initial question.

Maybe, I'm reading too much into it.  It just didn't sit right with me, and I think Fred deleted his posts for reasons outside of an "apology".  (Translation = he looked like a jerk and he knew it)

EXACTLY.  

Even if we couldn't initially read between the lines or known his intent based on his past posts, the progression that you described made it obvious that he was just trying to look for more ways to prevent looking like a jerk, but it only got worse as he tried harder.
