Considering how many times Lilenth's linked to the anger entry on Derailing For Dummies and accusing BJR of "changing tactics", digging through BJR's journal and accusing her of "ZOMG UR USING ABLEIST TERMZ AGAINST ME!!11!11" in the middle of the argument is massively hypocritical of her.
Also, I think it's RIDICULOUS that words like "idiot" and "stupid" are considered ableist slurs. We've used those words for thousands and thousands of years to describe someone with low intelligence who, guess what, are usually used against people who are NOT disabled. (Not to mention this implies that there's no such thing as disabled people with high intelligence. Think about that, SJWs.) How do those SJWs sit through your average classic movie or book or video game without screeching that they're being "triggered"? ("OMG GONZO CALLED RIZZO AN IDIOT IN MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, SO HE'S COMPARING HIM TO A MENTALLY DISABLED PERSON, THEREFORE GONZO IS AN ABLEIST AND SO ARE THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MUPPETS!!111!11")
