    Dude 🤣 When I quote your statement, it means the next paragraph is arguing against or otherwise commenting on that statement.

    Yeah votes tell us nothing about how the original author understood it, but it tells us how other people reading it understood it.

    If your dyslexia makes it difficult to follow simple arguments, maybe try text-to-speech or something. Edit: This did not really come out as I intended it, apologies :(

      No shit? Where exactly do you think I was confused about that?

      No, they say im mean which is true. They don’t say I’m wrong.

      Yeah bro, hit the disability. Nice, try racism next, that’s always a hit.

        Not how I interpret it, but plausible.

        You literally brought that up yourself as a defense before, otherwise I wouldn’t even know about it. I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt that it is not your intelligence that is lacking. There is nothing wrong with misreading an argument due to a disability after all.

        But whatever, I already made all the arguments I had. If you still don’t understand or are not convinced, then I guess it will have to stay that way.

        Good night.

          Then again I say your very dumb. Upvote ≠ correct.

          I did, bringing it up to try to insult me is the shitty part. I’m an asshole not a bigot, it doesn’t seem you can say the same.

          Oh so I ask you to point to where my disability is the issue or where I got lost/confused and all of a sudden you’ve made all your points. Gotcha, let’s add coward to that list.

            What else is there to say? You have just been putting things into my mouth for the last few comments.

            Upvote ≠ correct.

            Never claimed that was the case. Just assumed up votes correlate to who the voters think is right. But sure, it may not be the case if they dislike you for some reason. Which you acknowledged in the previous comment, and I agreed, yet you bring it up anyway. Just take the win on that one. If you even can count people disliking you after reading a few sentences from you a win.

            As for the dyslexia comment, it was really meant to insinuate that, if it is not due to dyslexia, you are dumb. If anyone reading this other than you took it as an insult towards dyslexic people, I apologise. It was not my intent. In retrospect, I see how it is insensitive. As for you Madison420, I don’t particularly care how exactly my subtle jab insulted you to be honest.

              Try again dipshit.

              Neat, that’s where we differ I might call you stupid for doing stupid shit but I’m not going to insult you for being disabled because that’s objectively immoral. The fact you don’t care you said some buried shit to me specifically says something about you personally.

              If I cut you off in traffic is it reasonable to call me a racial slur because that’s essentially what you’re saying.

                That’s an oxymoron. Morals are subjective, ethics are objective.

                Anyway, I consider it morally and ethically wrong to insult a whole class of people based on race, disability, etc.

                A person I intend to insult misunderstanding my insult as a different insult on the other hand I consider morally not my problem.

                  There’s a few things moral people agree on and being shitty about disability and race are pretty well universal. It’s unethical as well if that’s your excuse.

                  Duh.

                  What was it supposed to mean dipshit? You’re saying I’m dumb or my disability prevented me from doing something. What exactly? Oh you won’t say because you can’t find anything that would make being shitty about a disability reasonable. So again I’m an asshole not at least I’m not a bigot.

                    As I said, my point was supposed to be

                    “He can’t be this stupid to not follow this simple argument, so it has to be something else.”

                    Insert what I consider genuine advice regarding dealing with dyslexia. My colleague has dyslexia and text to speech and AI summaries help him a lot. So I wanted it to come across as genuine advice, saying it is fine and understandable to misread something due to dyslexia.

                    And then the punchline was supposed to be that it was not dyslexia, you are that unthinkably stupid.

                    Obviously I realized too late that is a bit too convoluted to follow and it could come across as jab at dyslexia itself, which was not my intention. I again apologize if I insulted anyone due to disability or otherwise made you feel uncomfortable in this way.

                    As for morals and ethics of “being shitty about disability and race are pretty well universal”, I agree. Though the reason I consider it shitty is primarily because it disparages people that did not deserve to be insulted and disparaged.

                    I honestly didn’t ever think much about whether I consider it my moral responsibility for insulting someone in an unintended way involving race or disability due to poorly formulated insult. My gut feeling was no, an insult is an insult as long as it does not involve unintended people but thinking about it again, I am not quite sure. I may have to think about it.
