> [@Gyrate](#): > > In one of the CRT threads, ZS misrepresents what his cites say, what other people’s cites say, and what pretty much every single poster he replies to is saying - basically, virtually every post from him grossly misrepresents whatever he’s commenting on. He is utterly incapable of debating in good faith, preferring to simply build strawmen he can knock down. And then he whines about others strawmanning _him_ . I strongly disagree with the second word in your post: it should be “all.” ---

Well, it was my straw certainly. I hate people from outside the disabled community telling people in the community that it’s all in their heads. I have to admit that I didn’t really pay attention to him before. He’s a hateful little person. ---

I have chronic pain caused by nerve issues. I’m just glad that I have been able to treat it so far with non-opioid analgesics. I don’t know what I would do if they stopped working. It’s excruciating pain. I think I would contemplate suicide without options. Pain is fucking serious. ---

In ATMB, UV asking why their thread was closed. Open and look for the big TL:DR toward the bottom. I’m hesitant to link because one post after Z’s is a complaint about threads such as the one you’re reading. ---

For their sake and ours. ⁢ I don’t think it needs to go that far. Just that gratuitous swipes of the Pit level rancor should be required in the Pit, not as a passive aggressive swipe over some ruling you disagree with. I applaud egc for letting people vent a bit in ATMB, but I think there’s a level too far where it’s clearly just lashing out to lash out. ---
