Where did I call anyone an idiot?
I was referring to the comment higher in the thread, but "stupid" is just as bad, which refers to the "mentally slow." They didn't choose to be that way. It's offensive to refer to other people by that term, because it sounds like you're using someone's mental disability, their mental slowness, as an insult to other people.
You're basically saying "you're acting like a dumb person," and being "dumb" is a dis-ability, in the most literal and obvious sense. You can't choose your intelligence level, that's just how people are born. It's incredibly offensive to use one group's disability as an insult towards someone else.
Hey, crazy suggestion: try kindness? Wow.
Lmao Try a little kindness.
K....
You have two accounts, bro? That's... unnecessary.
The post you're responding to is parody.
And a week old.
You're not fooling anyone and you care about people on the internet too much. Hang in there.
I apologize, I didn't intend you any offence.
I'm not personally offended, I'm offended for all the people that might be offended by how offensive you're being.
And I know you're trying to be funny, and I don't appreciate it. You're basically implying that I'm an idiot or stupid, and that's incredibly offensive to me for the reasons I've already explained.
Seriously, wow.
Thanks for the laugh, it was needed after some of the comments in this thread.
