I mean... people (you) said "how classy picking on a 16 year old with aspergers"

She's a mouthpiece, be it for her own agenda, or per parents (that's a whole different thing, if so),

So, she wants to illuminate the current climate situation or whatever, fair enough. But if she's going to be in the public eye stating this, then she should be ready for abuse/disagreements/non interest etc...

So you stating how classy it is to pick on her; well she's the one out there saying it all, we didn't ask her to, so why accuse people of being "classy" in a condescending way?

I have read your posts in the past and although we may disagree on many things I believe we would most likely agree on the basics. Right from wrong, justice, fairness etc.

If you witnessed a grown man abusing a child in the street, I'd like to think you would at least say something. Maybe even give him a well deserved dig.

So why do you condone that behaviour on the internet?

Someone abusing an "innocent" child in the street is one thing, but someone else standing in a patform and lecturing the world on what they consider everyone else should be doing is another.

And I don't care if they're thick skinned politicians, doo-gooder film stars, mouthy pop stars or 16 year old schoolgirls.... if they stand up to lecture then they're fair game.

Her parents (if they're the puppeteers pulling the strings) have latched onto a good thing; lets use a disabled 16 yeaar old girl as our "front man", then some sections of society who feel for her, can try (and fail miserably ) to make others feel uncomfortable by dissagreeing with her.

Correct me if I've misunderstood Jim but I think you are saying you enjoy giving personal abuse to anyone who's opinions you don't like, regardless of age and you don't think there is anything wrong with that.

Do you carry out this behaviour in real life or exclusively on internet forums?
