ORIGINAL: SimplyMichael Did the BDSM short bus stop at our URL or what? (clip) Any thoughts on how to return us to our more normal and insightful discussions? I'd like to ask that references to disabilities not be used, here, on this forum, anymore, in attempting to insult others. (In this specific case, referring to the BDSM "short bus," in attempting to insult others' intelligence.) If you or I have not had the misfortune to suffer one disability or another, then it is through good luck and not through any effort or moral superiority of our own. Please reflect on how hurtful such flippant, superior remarks are, not only to people in some way touched by these disabilities, but even to people who will never read or hear them, because of the attitude it spreads, that we need have no respect or empathy for people, at their weaknesses.
