Since it may be difficult for many of us to post the way we’d like [in this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=696563)started by our newest spunky paralyzed friend **jaymac1** , I thought I’d get this started now to give us all a place to voice our feelings on the matter. Or not, I don’t really give a shit - it’s a slow work day.

Here’s the OP of that thread:

> **I’ve got bad feeling about this guy!**  
> I’m an 18 year old paraplegic woman, attending college. There is a guy on my course I’ve been getting to know, but lately the only reason he seems to want to talk to me is because of my disability. I’ve noticed him looking at my wheelchair and my legs (I never have them out though, it’s a wee bit chilly out) with interest, I’m suspecting he’s a devotee of paraplegics. This means that he has a sexual attraction to my paralysis but not necessarily to me as a person.

> I am a virgin but that is just by bad luck, should I give this bloke a chance? He is smart and good looking, and intelligent, but surely there will be some normal guy out there for me?

ETA: Plus, we all know that thread was going to end up with mod notes/warnings and directions to take accusations to the pit - so I took the liberty of creating the place to do so.

Guilty until proven innocent, eh?  
Sounds like a pretty unneeded witch hunt.

Being cautious and taking everything with a grain of salt AU (After Umkay) is fine, but starting to accuse everyone who talks about it or being one of doing the same thing is going a bit far, I think.

There really are paraplegic people in this world. Some of them might actually find this board too.

Close it then.

But at some point you’re going to be directing people to take this shit to the Pit where it belongs.

It saddens me that Bob Ducca is so closed-minded that he automatically assumes one young paraplegic female newbie whose first post is soliciting advice on how to deal with an amorous man they suspect of being a disability devote is somehow related to a previous quadriplegic female newbie whose first posts were [soliciting advice on how to deal with an amorous man they suspect of being a disability devote](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=652284). Just because said poster had a history of trolling all over the Internet.

Bob, you disgust me. Who are you to notice the similarities between two things?? Asshole.

I’m not sure how you had time to find out who she was and read through all her threads to discover that she had shared so many details of her private life, but kudos.

And I find it hard to believe that the same young, paraplegic, troll newbie whose first post is soliciting advice on how to deal with an amorous man they suspect of being a disability devote would be so dumb or obvious to make their second account a young, paraplegic, newbie whose first post is soliciting advice on how to deal with an amorous man they suspect of being a disability devote.

I could be wrong, though.

YMMV.

It’s a weird fetish thing. She (more likely He) does it all over the net.

The phrase “obvious troll is obvious” is a stereotype for a reason, you know. 😃
