In post # 6 in that original **[thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/1st-time-here-how-do-i-comment-on-a-post/1030591)**, **ilansho** also used the word “I.” IMHO, he/she used it correctly within the given context.

Now you cherry-pick again. It’s your turn, and – like **chela** – you’re proving my fundamental points about:

- fanboys
- cults of personality
- confirmation bias, and
- the “soft bigotry of low expectations.”

I read non-native speaker very quickly. Obviously, others did, too. FWIW, so did the two LLMs that I pointed toward the thread.

And I _strongly_ believe that it made worse … something that was just inherently both gratuitous and bad (bad bad bad).

It’s wrong to tease a kid with a limp. It makes you an asshole when it turns out the kid has cerebral palsy.

And that’s _in addition to_ agreeing with everything @Atamasama just wrote.
