Accept no excuses whatsoever.

Ableism is dangerous. This isn't scientifically backed by anything, and you're simply prejudiced against people who are already suffering. Just MYOB and you'll be fine. No need to be a whole twat about it.

NO. Ableism isn’t what you think it means.

Twatty, learn. "Bipolar folks are dangerous" is an outright lie, utterly unsubstantiated by any credible fact source. Spreading tropes about people suffering from mental health issues is ableist.

Do better.

No one can take you seriously when you use such infantile language. I hope you speak better than you write.

You clearly understood well enough to take it personally and resort to attacking the person and not the point.

PP speaks/writes just fine, and the point is sound: Spreading tropes about people suffering from mental health issues is, in fact, ableist. Sorry you're struggling to handle it and change your behavior. Get help.

Huh? I am not the poster who wrote what bipolar people are dangerous but did write that posters don’t know what ableism means. What is dangerous for disabled people like me is for others to throw it around incorrectly.

You are awfully hostile. I hope you find peace in 2026.

I'm neither awful nor hostile, but you can judge a stranger however you need to. I wish you the same peace; happy people don't behave the way you're behaving.

Once again, you've lashed out at the poster instead of addressing the point. PP's definition of ableism is correct, so I don't know what you're prattling on about. Maybe make a point, if you have one?

Nah, I would've simply told OP to eff off and been done with it. I love how all the tropes are getting trotted out though. "It's the neighbor/spouse/antagonist from OP's story!" "I hope you find peace" "You're hostile/angry/stupid".

Y'all can't have a conversation and stay on topic without getting all in your feelings and projecting onto people you don't know and wouldn't recognize if you saw them. It's kinda sad, or would be, if I cared at all what DCUM randos thought.

The subthread started with someone dropping some ableist nonsense. Someone called it out. Lots of someones couldn't handle that, and started lashing out at the person who called out the ableism. I sided with the "No, that's ableist" position, and now you're all gunning for me.

This isn't a story about me.

Re: Poster who likes to use the t word.

Agree they make a good point about people here making free to diagnose someone based on an anonymous poster’s description. It’s offensive.

Disagree they were not offensive as well. They attacked the other poster with their language, language designed to offend. Ad hominem attacks undermine an argument.

Go ahead. Take your shot. Feel free to use your very favorite insult. It only hurts you.

Disrespectful people can and should be met with disrespect. If they wanted kindness, they could've been kind.

Imagine being this butthurt about a word that got past the censors... Glad you don't have any real problems!

Okay fine but do I need to put up with it?

Diagnosis is an explanation, not an excuse. Bipolar is a personality.

The bolded forever.

The neighbor may be bipolar, but that doesn't excuse the behavior.

I wouldn't be too quick too judge. A lot of folks like this tend to favor Segways or electric/chargable skateboards as a mode of informal transportation. There's something about the freedom of movement that gets them in hot spots, behaviorwise, with others. Consider this please.

What do you mean by 'put up with'?

You can pretend to be on a call every time you see her for the rest of the time you both live there. Wave hi and keep moving. I would NOT be trying to do dinner or parties with this person. She is a neighbour, not a friend.

What else, OP? Disagree with the other neighbor and say you’re going to round everyone up to stage a therapy/diagnosis intervention? Hold her nose to force open her mouth so you can shove pills in?

What are you expecting from this thread?

This. What’s your point, OP?

Exactly. Of course, you have to put up with it unless you move. She's sick. Just avoid. You had your rant here. You are done. We all have problem people in our lives. Just try to be kind and move on

Nope
