> [@Czarcasm](#): > > It astounds me that not one poster in that thread expressed any doubt or asked any questions about the births. That looks to have been towards the end of **etv** ’s posting career there. Earlier posts of his did seem to generate some subtle suspicion. Maybe by that time the regular posters on that board had a DNFTT thing going on. ---

I briefly looked at some of his posts on that mothering board. **Weird**. He established a whole family and life over there. Who _does_ that?? Are we sure he’s not **umkay**? (mostly kidding, but jeez… creepy.) ---

I don’t think there are really any handicapped people. That they exist at all has got to be a huge hoax. ---

Exactly. Nobody would ever call **Ambivalid** passive/aggressive. **Ambi** is a nice and honest aggressive/aggressive. ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > You really do, don’t you? Doesn’t everyone? I usually park my car across three disabled parking spaces. It’s not as if there are many disabled people about and even if they are they have ways of getting around, buggies and such. Also they’re so entitled so they should suck it up. Parking my car across three spaces ensures that no one parks close enough to scratch the side of it, and also gives me access to the boot and the engine bay in case I want to check the windscreen wiper fluid. I used to find just two bays satisfactory, but then it turned out that I was getting blocked in all the time by angry crips. I figure that using three makes it harder to block me in, and in the extremis gives me longer run up times to bash their cars out of the way. They get very touchy some of them. If I’m very lucky and it’s a large supermarket (for example) where there are rows of disabled bays, then I can use six spaces. Many axes of freedom to guard against one armed vigilantes, and it also sends out the message I’m after: This guy’s a player. ---
