          They aren’t defending the suggestion. They are taking issue with you using a medical condition to insult someone’s intelligence.

          Ableism isn’t OK.

            How is it ableist to call a mentally challenged solution retarded…?

            I never insulted anyone’s intelligence.

            It’s retarded to stare at the sun during an eclipse, stating that isn’t ableist. That’s all I did.

              “retarded” is a medical term for intellectual disabilities. That’s why it’s not allowed, “stupid” would have been fine. I’ve asked the main mod to explicitly mention it in the rules to avoid confusion in the future.

                Do you know what ableism vs an insult vs a slur is…?

                Because some are allowed and some aren’t here. I didn’t use ableism, and the other stuff has no rules here.

                So if I’m being accused and having my stuff moderated incorrectly, that’s a problem.

                  If you’re an expert on these things, then your litany of abuses must have been made knowingly:

                  Instead of lecturing others, I suggest educating yourself, before you catch a ban.

                  I didn’t use ableism, and the other stuff has no rules here.

                  There are in fact rules about them.

                    You say from an alt account with almost exclusively controversial stuff… okay….

                    Where? Ableism isn’t even on there either, so mods already overstepped.

                  I’m willing to bet that’s the worst thing that will happen to you this year, and you’ll still whine about it.
