I think their quibble was with a different item being used as evidence there (i.e., having a family), not necessarily with all that was said.
- margalabargala 2y agoI didn't publicly shame anyone. I pointed out their clear position of privilege to help them learn to apply empathy. I think helping one another to build empathy is a good thing, and even if the person I replied to is unable to do so, it's possible that observing them tell a disabled person that they don't think their life is any harder will help other third parties such as yourself build that empathy. I did not flag their original comment, but it's not for no reason it was flagged to death.
- absolutelastone 2y agoText is a fairly imprecise form of communication. It's pretty common for multiple people to get triggered by misreading a post the same way if such a misread is possible. In other cases downvoted posts are often the most interesting precisely because they trigger people with points they don't want to consider. I certainly wouldn't cite it as proof of any position.
