Yeah, trying to confuse your own support of child slavery by claiming it's other people saying that crap isn't going to fool anyone.

Yes, you did.

It is still a false dichotomy.

The person is probably a racist. The person is probably a racist or had oatmeal for breakfast. The second statement is more likely to be true.

True, but clearly misleading. If the person is not racist, then it is much more likely that they are an idealist than that they have autism, given that they made an argument that it idealistic.

(I hadn't actually considered that idealism might be linked to autism and thank you for the idea you accidentally handed me)

I wasn't suggesting or condoning child slavery. Some of my best friends are children.

I don't think that he realizes that psychopathy is a mental illness.

Does Alex have devices he switches between that are logged in to different accounts or does he have different personalities associated with each of them?

BTM, what's the relationship between this form of carelessness and autism.

It's not unusual for me to not realise that others can hear my conversations even though its obvious once pointed out. Even more so in a forum - I assume that's because I'm old.

Is that some aspect of autism? That seems a bit of a stretch for what I would have thought was being unthinking and/or getting carried away.

PP played the role just fine. A hypothetical racist who suggests voluntary eugenics through mockery would be a better use of the resource 'vile'.

Right. I edited my post and added the words "to their mind".

What you have experienced is feeling socially comfortable (not a symptom of autism).

So, you think he's just trolling in his obvious support of enslaving children to racists? I can only assume that means you also support enslaving children to racists.

So your point is we should assume people talking about racially insensitive things are either racists or mentally disabled? I suppose we should start out with calling them racist and if they're MI/MD they can let us know and we'll change tracks.

I am 100% cool with no longer calling people racist if, after being told that they said something racist, they admitted that their opinions are presumptively invalid due to mental defect and thus cannot be expected to correct their aberrant behavior.

Like how Alex kept defending the Confederacy. Seemed super racist at the time. Maybe he literally can not do better, though.

So, your answer to someone possibly being mentally disabled is to bully them. Fun crowd. Everyone's either supporting child slavery or bullying the mentally disabled.

Can we all agree that if someone lies for 5 years about me defending the Confederacy when I never did that they're probably mentally disabled? That he literally cannot do better?

chez idk if you can still get in touch with Bruce but see how he feels about coming back to the forums, admitting that he's so intellectually inferior he was unaware that Bill O'Reilly was a demagogue and that his near total ignorance about American history is a condition that he cannot rectify.

I think the fruit loops of Politards will cheerfully withdraw their accusations of racism then.

Can either of you point to a specific thread in which you argued about the Confederacy?

True but its not exactly populated by children either. There was carelessness involved about others reading it , that was acknowledged so most likely has caused a change.

Are you aware that he reads your posts as claiming that his bathroom post is a slam dunk proof that he is a racist and that that alone it outweighs his 15+ years of contributions to 2+2? Given all your posts on the subject I don't think you hold to that claim but maybe you don't realise how much difference it would make to him if you made that clear.

Me, obviously. It kind of matters in psychology.

Makes a huge difference in the optimal way to interact with someone. Some of us have the social awareness and flexibility to be who we need to be based on who we are talking to.

It is a useful skill, a lot like probability theory.
