Some dumb chick demanded that I not be "Ablist" in what I posted last night, then flatly refused to point out what it was in my post about a certain historically-unprecedented batshit crazy woman I know quite well that could be regarded as Ableist.
"You have an Internet connection," this epically-dumb chick pointed out.
"So do _you_ ," I replied. Epically dumb chick then got into it with a couple others but all three of us put together were unable to extract from Epically Dumb Chick what Ableism actually was nor why she regarded my tale of lamentation and sorrow about the batshit crazy woman I know quite well as Ableist, nor would she point out what it was in my OP that she regarded as Ableist.
It proceeded downhill from there, but after riding the Yellow Line from North Portland back into Downtown - a thirty-minute journey - quietly reflecting upon what I could post that I cold possibly hope to be more productive than to point out that she's such an Angry Dumb Cunt because she had a surgeon suture her twat shut so as to trap years of menstrual fluid that her anger and her rage might draw upon the necrosis of what at one time had been her pussy, her uterus, her Fallopian tubes as well as her ovaries.
To Wit:
Debra Harpe - after a half hour or so of quiet reflection, I Cry _BULLSHIT_ on your "Ablist" complaint. I am a Scholar and have been since I was a _very_ young boy - quite a diligent and serious one: my first really serious career goal was to be a Chemistry Professor at a University, later an Astronomer, later still to be a Physicist, eventually focussing on Elementary Particle Physics. Among my studies have been Geometry, Number Theory, Philosophy, to play and compose for the Piano, to sing and to dance in musical theater, to volunteer for political campaigns, literature, writing both fiction and non-fiction, just in this last year my writing has focussed on looking into why Ancient Greek, Roman History and Hebrew history ultimately resulted into the world we have today - specifically the Vietnam War, the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Adolf Hitler, NAZI Germany, World War II and the Holocaust. Also lifelong has been my interest in Cult Phenomena, starting with Communist Cambodia, the NAZIs, the Jonestown Guyana mass suicide in which NINE HUNDRED People's Unification Church Members took their own lives by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Ade, the Human Potential Movement by enrolling in the Beginner and Advanced LifeSpring Courses as well as its Leadership Program, the incredibly bizarre Spring 1997 mass suicide of the small, insular San Diego UFO Cult Heavens Gate, who all "Shed Their Vehicles" by eating phenobarbital-laced pudding and applesauce with Such Great Enthusiasm that they all wore Brand-New Nike Hightop Sneakers so as to be properly dressed for the occasion
Then:
But I have not the first clue what it is about my Original Post that you could _possibly_ regard as Ableist. Again for my _entire_ life I have _always_ been enthusiastically ready to engage in informed discussion and reasoned debate over absolutely _any_ topic at all, even those I regards as Morally Reprehensible.
Followed by:
But I have No Use _Whatsoever_ for small-minded cowards such as yourself, Debra Harpe, who hurl blunt, angry insults at me then flatly refuse to explain why they felt the need to do so but somehow expect _me_ to magically pull that required explanation Right Out Of My Own Ass.
Continuing on through:
There are vast multitudes of people who stand ready to enthusiastically engage in informed discussion or reasoned debate with me even over topics that _they_ regard as morally reprehensible.
The Climax:
Thus, I regard you Debra Harpe as no more significant to me or to my interests to the bright green fungus I find growing on oranges in my fridge from time to time.
The Denouement:
Good Day. Don't let the door hit yer ass on your way out, Debra Harpe.
The End: I tagged a close friend and high school classmate by the name of Ralph who is now a Psychiatrist in Hawaii. (Not _My_ Psychiatrist, rather Ralph is a friend.) He and I often engage in fascinating discussions over various minutiae of the mind mind.
What's Yer Take? Do you regard Tarring And Feathering as too good for Debra Harpe, I would you advise me to Level Debra Harpe Up to the Iron Maiden? It happens that I am quite a good welder, my father taught me both electric arc and acetylene welding when I was still in Elementary School.
My breakfast should be done Nuking right around now. Bon Apetit!

Seconded, interesting watching MDC get red-pilled.
My advice MDC is she's a follower of an irrational religion and you think you can rationally talk or psychotherapize her out of her irrational belief system; yeah as you found out the hard way, religions don't work like that.
Or more colloquially, don't mud wrestle with a pig; you get dirty and the pig likes it. Let her win the progressive oppression olympics and bask in all its glory.
Your "I am a scholar" rant shows you value thought and reason and wisdom in your life; thats a great way to live your life, tip of my hat to you, but its not silver bullet ammo against someone who values pity, subversion, and being holier than thou as her core values. Find a pig and mud wrestle with it, its more productive and better exercise.

Red pilled?
watch out MDC, don't fall don't the VLM red hole
Ignore crazy unless absolutely required to engage, but you've obviously been emotionally compromised pretty heavily by this encounter. Don't let your anger drive you to hate.

My opinion is that the internet is full of crazy people. Many of these individuals cannot interpret the nuance in written text (no thanks to platforms that do not support italics, bold, etc). So someone's fuse gets lit, someone responds, a troll or three piles on, and the rest is a waste of time, effort, bits and electricity.
What we really need is an instant-on camera & microphone system that hooks two feuding parties together. Let them wreak havoc upon each other in private, face to face, and see how these keyboard warriors fare. In the end everyone else will be spared the bullshit and entertainment.

I had no idea at the depth of intellectual dishonesty that occurs among the SJWs and their wannabe followers. I discovered this the hard way and wound up pruning a part off my social circle because of it. One of my friends when faced with overwhelming evidence that he has a friend that outright fabricates facts in support of their position while simultaneously claiming they are acting in good faith did absolutely nothing about this situation. It was extremely troublesome to deal with requiring enormous amounts of effort while I went and falsified their claim through research - of course they would not cite a single damn thing but I was making a point here.
I can't control what the friends of my friends do but I can control who my friends are. My friend even put in effort to attempt to prove the claim in question here and was unable to do so. He didn't hold the original claimant accountable. He didn't remove them from influencing his life. He didn't do a damn thing about it. As far as I'm concerned he is actively seeking to be deceived while deceiving himself that he isn't being deceived by them. They seem to have to do this for the problems they state exist because with true discussion and analysis the whole deal falls apart.
These people are serious problems.

To the SJW, you're "ablest" because you criticised the behaviour someone who presumably has mental health issues. The fact that you yourself have well publicised mental health issues is irrelevant as their bullying is selective. No matter what you think of the author, SJWs always lie [mrchc.org.au] is the definitive text but the evidence shown suggests you did a fine job acquitting yourself and calling attention to the Debra Harpys little game.

Vietnam War: started by the left, and to this day Vietnam is a poor country
Communist Cambodia, the Killing Fields of Cambodia: the left again
Adolf Hitler, NAZI Germany, World War II and the Holocaust: Prior to about the year 2000, every dictionary agreed that NAZI/fascist stuff was leftist. That only changed because it was a thorn in the side for modern leftists, who now control academia and the internet giants. It is clear when you compare policy that NAZI/fascist stuff is more like today's left than right. Take gun control for example, needed in order to be able to disarm the Jews so they could be hauled off. Gun control was NAZI/fascist. Another one is anti-semitism. No democrat showed up for the opening of our new embassy in Israel. Women's March leadership is now solidly anti-semetic, along with the recently-elected Muslim entering congress and of course Louis Farrakhan.
the Jonestown Guyana mass suicide: this too was socialism, or communism if you prefer
Part of the reason is that "from each according to his ability" is not natural. People are willing to trade, but not give away. Changing this natural behavior requires invoking a stronger natural behavior, such as using rifles to invoke the desire to survive.
Being just a little bit leftist (not fully communist) isn't OK. It's just less awful.

First: You painstakingly work with her and spend research, thought, and writing time attending to every detail.
Then: You claim that she is only as important as a random fungus.
These things can't both be true in a rational universe. If she is worth all that energy and work, that's a measure of her relative importance. If she's no more important than a random fungus, what's with the near-obsessive focus on her?
I write these things not to criticize you personally, but rather to point out something that you seem to have missed, in the hope that reflection on it will lead to a revelation, whatever it may be.
In the meantime, many people are jerks. Don't sweat the small stuff.
