Since the first day that you made your first post garinda.
Correspondent - a person who writes letters, especially on a regular basis.
You may argue that your post is not a letter as such, however:
Letter - a written, typed, or printed communication, sent by post or messenger.
Your post is a printed communication sent by messenger – the Internet.
However I have no intention of arguing semantics (the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text.) with you.
Anyone can take a piece out of context and make it mean something else, which is what you have done and I can quote what I originally wrote.

What I mean is that if the inability to become pregnant or father a child is down to a genetic malfunction, won’t that same or similar malfunction be passed on to the resultant baby? Then she or he will have the same sort of problem and so it goes on and on.
Don’t take this too harshly but if a woman is unable to conceive or a man unable to father a child, isn’t that nature’s way of saying, “hang on we have a defective person here and we don’t want to pass the defect on to further generations.”

The sentence that you refer to was part of the point about the inability to conceive due to genetic reasons. It was not a stand alone comment.
