It's really too bad people care so much about what other people think. Especially about issues and things that no one else will ever notice, care about or think about.
How on earth did you do this? Sounds like you previously bent the hanger or RD cage. Or maybe it was just very, very poorly adjusted. Either way, a dork disk would not likely have prevented it. Although if you did the damage removing the disk, I guess you have an argument there!
