You take umbrage at my use of epithets like "retard" and "spastic". Ableism! But I don't think I've ever called you either.  Not directly but... I can certainly call you "spastic" and "retard". With Stammablah it's too hard to decide between the two, so he's both. IMDB2.freeforums.net/post/628870/thread Pfffffffft. Nowhere did I call you a "spastic" or a "retard". I called you "blah" for equating the use of such terms to racism and homophobia.
With your line of reasoning, eventually the word "stupid" will be seen as an "ableist" slur against people with low IQ's. The pedantry becomes ridiculous.
But back to the issue in this thread, you made an ad hominem attack because we disagree on an issue. I didn't do that. You did.

So why did you think you could call be a spastic or retard? Let see how you make that look good but if you notice I didn’t “attack” you because I disagreed on the issue at hand. I told you to fuck off because of your smug sneering assumption that my anger at your (still ongoing) bigotry was due to pretentious self righteous indignation. Now I know that I’m far from perfect and don’t always say the right thing and perhaps I shouldn’t admit to doing something that wasn’t right because it gives people like you something to twist just so it meets your agenda. So far the only person I’ve seen who claims that asexuality is a form of sociopathic behaviour is you and your defence of your belief makes it look like you don’t fully understand what a sociopath is. Because I gave up trying to get that part through to you I said I was going to stop arguing and you took that as a result of your argument being solid. What was that to said to dirtypillows about arrogance? Now let’s see how “self righteous” is defined and perhaps someone else can say who they think might fit the description. Self-righteousness, also called sanctimoniousness, sententiousness and holier-than-thou attitudes is a feeling or display of (usually smug) moral superiority derived from a sense that one's beliefs, actions, or affiliations are of greater virtue than those of the average person.

Additional stuff... Your use of “blah” was a continuation of the mild insult you liked to use (a bit like how you like using the name Batty Boy) but you might have forgotten that by now. Now nowhere did I say that that the terms are equal but they are in the same category due to being accepted as slurs. You can argue that they as not as bad as racial, gender and sexual orientation insults but being pushed over is generally not as bad as being punched in the face but can still be tried as a physical assault. BTW: I did think it funny when your friend Russell said that people in my position have no right to be offended by those words. I’d love to know which arsehole he pulled that item of wisdom from.
