Yup.

I wanna show you a way you could handle it, @Sam_Stone.

A couple of weeks ago, posters were discussing Herschel Walker, and someone called him a brain-damaged moron. Another poster, out of the blue, called Fetterman a brain-damaged moron, referring to his stroke, and I was pissed off about it, because it’s one thing to call a dumbass a brain-damaged moron, but it’s beyond the pale to say that about someone who’s actually suffered a stroke.

I brought it up. Someone else pointed out to me that Herschel Walker’s years of football had likely led to traumatic brain injury.

Did I get shirty? Did I get petulant? Did I double down?

[You decide](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-we-discuss-recent-trends-in-moderation/975048/107).

It’s possible to change your mind with new information, and to thank people for bringing it up. It’s possible to do so without having a victim mindset.

I encourage you to try.
