If it was just a random frustrated Facebook post why would you carefully spell out the name of the message board to make sure your little friends came to the right place? > > I do like how you describe yourself as being ‘picked on’. Like there was just no way you could have avoided people confronting you on your passive aggressive bullshit that you have made eleventy billion threads about. You illiterate moron, someone _ **else** _ described me as being “picked on”. I never described myself that way. ---

I never described myself that way. “Are you still getting picked on, Jamie?” “Holy shit yes, worse than ever.” You may not have said you were in those exact words, but you did ascribe to yourself the state of being picked on through agreement with her question. ---

Is there really any point to correcting people like this? “Handicapped” isn’t even a pejorative or disparaging in any way, like some words that have gone through the [euphemism treadmill](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemism#Disability_and_handicap). ---

You probably won’t believe me, but no, I’m not the one who posted on your facebook. I only have one account, and that’s not it. (I’m not about to risk my account starting another one) BTW, if you think this is “Holy shit yes, worse than ever,” you need to search some Pit threads past. I’d say this is pretty tame. > [@Feyrat](#): > > I hate to say it, because it is pretty cool that you’re able to do that (I sure can’t! Not even regular pullups!) but I totally agree with this. That looks way too dangerous at the height you’re at. Holy cow. I can’t blame the gym even a little for forbidding this! For real. Even if he managed to land safely, there’s a chance the wheels could probably slip back, I would imagine, and land him on his head. Plus the chair itself swinging around like that could hit someone in the head. (The guy on the left looks like, “Uh, maybe this isn’t such a hot idea.”) ---

Just to piss people off. That’s how my dad does it. He’s got a wooden leg and sometimes I have to remember when I go out in public that other people don’t like to hear it called “the crip spot.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jamiemcgarry-wheel-yourself-on-down-here/594050.md?page=30) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jamiemcgarry-wheel-yourself-on-down-here/594050.md?page=32)
