[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More observations on disability. I think this is a good point. I have never been able to figure out why they despised Dorland so much except that she didn't communicate somehow "correctly," which seems code for possible ableism. For instance, in the awful encounter described by Chip Cheeks, Dorland seemed to do everything technically right (welcomed him, gave him advice, etc.) but he still mocked her mercilessly behind her back. The savaging of the group seems beyond normal dislike, and I do wonder if there is some virulent ableism underneath it all (probably also classism).

I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m not really feeling the “ableist” angle, though I get the point people are trying to make.

I just feel like…does someone really need to be a member of a protected class in order for people to stand up and say “this is wrong”? It feels like people are reaching for a way to trump the “WOC” card, when really it just comes down to one person being horrible to and plagiarizing another person. Regardless of their cultural identities.[/quote]
