The condescending way he said “But do you understand …” like I’m a child. Remember the thread I made on people with disabilities? How he misstated what I said so he could repeatedly call me an asshole and beat me up with how ignorant I am about disabilities (despite my master’s in special education).

I know others might not see “You’re a stupid idiot.” in what he wrote but just look how he wrote it, like I’m a little ignorant child that needs to be learned by the great ASL\_v2.0. It’s not like he hasn’t done that to me before.
