\*\*Melbourne \*\*was posting in the original thread - presumably s/he saw \*\*BBF \*\*being a dick to **Ambivalid** , and was sending him/her a PM through the SDMB private message interface about it. Not through the Facebook PM system.

And yet still can’t tell the difference between a subject line and the sender details in the Private Messages window. Oh how I laughed.

To be fair, Humans have a long history of this kind of crap, and not just on this board (where it can be a bit too much at times).

“You said X, so I’m going to assume Y and Z and attack you for them” is as old as human communication.

I for one, would like to go on the record as saying that Hitler was a bad guy. I’m sorry, I know he’s not even a SDMB member, and it’s also speaking ill of the dead who can’t defend themselves, but I just had to get it off my chest. Whew.

Ok, where did I see this yesterday?

Hitler can’t be all that bad a guy, after all, he did kill Hitler.

Oh. The links Boo Fart gave as his “evidence” in the other thread were to facebook, so I assumed thats where the message was sent.

Looks like s/he had been using facebook to host the photos/screenshots, but has now taken them down?

I think **BBF** is like the giant telepathic fake space squid at the end of _Watchmen_, wreaking horror in order to remind us that we have to set aside our differences and start living in peace.

I’d say assuming that someone in a wheelchair needs 24/7 care, and assuming that a girl would leave someone for being in a wheelchair, counts as bigotry. In my opinion, at least.

From what I gather, Ambivalid doesn’t need any special care and his disability had nothing to do with their breakup.

Of course what you describe could be seen as bigotry I guess. Not sure what point you are trying to make.
