I'm not sure why you'd flag my reply for disagreeing with you sharply. I don't think I've done anything inappropriate, as opposed to discussing a sensitive topic and not agreeing with you. (The reason you can't is precisely that: because you'd flag appropriately expressed views that disagree with you in ways that make you feel uncomfortable.)

> openly racist and sexist people are deplorable

I mean, I obviously disagree. I think it matters a lot why they're doing those things, as opposed to that they're doing them. If it's because they're mentally disabled and we've failed to teach them socially appropriate behaviors as they matured, how is that their failing rather than ours?

Your lack of concern for that possibility -- that we're just discarding the disabled because they didn't develop under their own power in to normal adults -- is what troubles me about your stance.

No, I would flag you because of the personal attacks, which are a violation of board rules. I don't really care about your views now, because you're obviously a lost cause.

[SomeStupidPoint]

Which personal attacks would those be?

I've claimed that I think you're acting a certain way, but that's not a personal attack: it's a specific claim about how you're acting (and how it impacts others) based on specific and cited things you've said. Calling you out for your behavior isn't "attacking" you, even if it's uncomfortable for you or violates your social expectations.

> I don't really care about your views now, because you're obviously a lost cause.

Yes, I suspected that you would refuse to engage with someone who disagreed with your view and called you out on your behavior, because it would force you to confront the reality of how your actions impact people rather than the social fable you tell yourself about them. Notice how you call me a "lost cause", but clearly never even talked to me in this exchange. You just said the socially approved phrases at me. I think the reason you haven't actually addressed my specific points is because at some level, you know you can't. That what you're doing really is oppression targeted at a disabled group you've been socialized to find "deplorable" rather than "unfortunate".

It's just much easier to deny your bad behavior and fit in.

Nah, it's much easier to git commit something useful than try to argue against a strawman version of oneself constructed by an SJW.

Im sure you'll tell yourself you chose not to respond but could have.

But I sincerely hope you'll at least try for your own benefit. I think having to explain why poorly raised mentally disabled people saying racist things are deplorable rather than unfortunate, without merely assuming your conclusion is right would teach you a lot about yourself. You don't even have to show me: just spend 5 minutes typing it out for yourself. Why not be sure you're right instead of merely assuming Im wrong?

Good luck on your commit. (:

Not sure why I'd have to do so. I've never made any comment that referred to mentally disabled people. Unless you equate sexism to a mental disability? If that's so, like wow.

[SomeStupidPoint]

You did make such a comment, and I've already cited it for you. And explained why it was offensive.

That you're not even able to admit that much is telling, lol
