I agree to a certain extent. If a person is deliberately snide and obtuse it can be as offensive as outright insult. The best thing is to point it out and if it continues, just walk away. It ain’t worth it. But also, conversation laced with strong insult is just as useless.

The following post contains an offense term.

## End Warning ##

I didn’t want to be disingenuous. I honestly think Joanna is a fucktard, and her “argument” deserves nothing less than an expletive-drenched response to drive home my point.

The sort of nasty, pseudo-intellectual sarcasm that the host of this site uses is far more offensive and crude, in my opinion.

But that’s exactly what it is. My opinion. Take it or leave it.

But I will compromise. I will put a warning label at the start of any post that contains “inappropriate” language, so that the readers offended by such can skip over it.

BWAHAHAHAHAH!

*curtsies*, thank you very much!

Oh joy, oh rapture! Just what we were praying for. Someone to fill the joint with good feeling and bring a fresh perspective to the matters we discuss.

I’ll pin this *guru* down, JoAnna, if you’ll get the soap and disinfectant. I don’t say we will succeed but we can at least try to clean this mess up.

Correct.

And then he said, “Does this mean that you think I am special and unique too?”

I think you’ve probably some good qualities, yes, your magical thinking not withstanding.

JoAnna claimed, “You never answered the question.”

That’s because your question was clearly rhetorical, asshole. But since you seem to want an answer here it is, dummy.

“So, EclecticGuru, if someone had seen you limping around on your crutches, and had decided to shoot you because you were a drain on society, you’d be okay with that? And your autistic friend is okay with that too?”

No you dumb bitch. No I would not, and neither would he. What are you, some kind of retard?

Happy?

“It’s kinda scary to think that someone could decide whether you lived or died based on your perceived value to society, isn’t it?”

Forced abortions! Yeah! And then the next thing they’ll do is sterilize cripples and retards that get past the genetic screening. And then they’ll say that people with red hair are “dangerous” and start killing them too. That is scary! And then they’ll take our guns, and “In God We Trust” and Santa Claus and make us all shave our heads and get barcode tattoos!

AaaaaaaahhhhhH! OH!

You never answered the question. See, the thing is, there are many in the pro-abortionist camp who believe we SHOULD abort the disabled/crippled in-utero because they are a drain on society. Survival of the fittest, and all that. If one could screen for autism prenatally, I have no doubt that some people would abort for that reason as well. What would your autistic friend think of that?

It’s kinda scary to think that someone could decide whether you lived or died based on your perceived value to society, isn’t it?

Your moniker is GURU and you call me a magic thinker??? lol. Does this mean that you think I am special and unique too? And that you appreciate me for my “Oddness”?
