> [@brazil84](#): > > There is a problem of some parents of children with mental/emotional problems being inconsiderate of their childrens’ misconduct towards other people. Well … I’d hesitate to use the word “misconduct” because that implies more willfulness than is necessarily there, but it’s probably true that at least some such parents are willing (for various reasons) to attribute a lot more bad behavior to the child’s condition than is warranted. > [@Reverse](#): > > “Nobody wants you living here and they don’t have the guts to tell you”, wrote the author of the anonymous letter. > [@C3](#): > > During the course of my job, I often get homeowner complaints about other neighbors or things going on in the community. Without fail, they say something along those lines - everyone else is just as pissed about this as I am, but they’re too scared/busy/lazy to say anything about it, so I’m going to be the courageous person to speak the hard truth. It’s the equivalent of “the lurkers support me in e-mail” ---

This sounded like trolling by teenage boys to me, but having read the letter I’d guess it’s at least true that it’s written by a female. I can easily see that being the work of another mother. ---

[QUOTE=zago] Unfortunately, a lot of the mischief that disabled kids get into can’t be foreseen [/QUOTE] A lot of the mischief that _any kids_ can get into can’t be foreseen. Cognitively challenged people certainly haven’t cornered the market on doing stupid shit. My other “typically developing” children have acted impulsively, made poor decisions, or acted like idiots a time or two.

Ps kayaker, I’m still laughing today about the grouchy neighbor unknowingly fondling dog shit by deflating the balls.

Naturally you didn’t think you were getting the worst of these exchanges, but no doubt anyone sufficiently interested can come to their own conclusions.

Your damage is not restricted to single posts but to entire threads. You don’t just misread posts but misconstrue and misrepresent entire dialogues. This is plain as day to anyone who spends five minutes reading the threads you have ruined. You are not going to bait me into doing bullshit discovery work for you. I’m not here to persuade you; I am here to _verbally abuse_ you. You are a liar, a jackass, a disingenuous sack of sloth shit, and a pitiful excuse for a human being, **brazil84**. You are not a conversation partner; you are a conversational terrorist who deserves to be named, blamed, and shamed for what you do around here. You are neither worth engaging with nor debating, but you are worth exposing every time you crawl in under the door and peddle your fetid little message board turds. It should surprise no one that over the course of years, you have generated no light around here but plenty of anger and contempt. ---
