Whichever it may be, it doesn't matter.

Agreed. I'd appreciate it, though, if in the future you'd kindly not attribute specific statements to me that I quite simply didn't make.



Your intent is not magic. If your communications are "misinterpreted" then it's your fault for not being specific enough.

Taking me to task for my interpretation (which attributed no SPECIFIC statement but rather an interpretation of your words) is a classic example of trying to use an asymmetric appeal to "civility" as a blind for your mistakes.

So no. If I see you spout stuff I consider to be ableist, and I feel like it, I'm going to hit reply and call your statements ableist and explain why.

That is the nature of this forum, and I'm one of the very few people who actually tries to do these things; so you're not exactly being overwhelmed with recriminations of that sort.
