schestowitz-TRall because rms stares at peopleOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRwhich is widely known to be a symptom that is both harmless and hard to overcomeOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRand later they call him "ableist" because he saupports abortionOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRwhile anyone who does NOT support abortion gets blasted by the very same groupOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRso they cannot be pleasedOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRfwiw, phipps regrets his remarks about rms that are classic ableismOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRbut he cannto take that backOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRalso, rms was right on what he had mocked him forOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRphipps was wrongOct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRso maybe it takes a "retard" sometimes to foresee the very obvious.Oct 02 05:36
schestowitz-TRto use another analogy, showing an offensive sign to a blind personOct 02 05:38
schestowitz-TRmaybe they want to do some "shock therapy" for RMS... and he him shout (he has a phobia about head under water too)Oct 02 05:38
