    I don’t think they’re from Crete, maybe you should try insulting people less in the future?

    Someone from Crete is a Cretan, not a cretin. If you’re going to loudly trumpet your position as ESL as a deflection of your own inability to parse basic English conversations, maybe you should take a step away from trying to correct the English of others.

      I was just pointing out that your first response was ableist insult, am I not worthy of pointing out when an English speaking person is insulting people?

        I was just pointing out that your first response was ableist insult,

        I thought you were trying to say it was an insult based on some form of nationality. You did, after all, say, and I quote

        I don’t think they’re from Crete, maybe you should try insulting people less in the future?

        Unless being from Crete is a disability, you didn’t point out, real or attempted, anything regarding ableism.

          you called them ‘cretins’ which is an ableist insult, and I said I don’t think they’re from Crete. I was not saying that being from Crete is a disability, I was pointing out your insult

            Implying that being from Crete is a disability, which it is not.

            maybe try insulting people less?

            Maybe try being less cretinous.

              we already established if you were calling them from Crete it would be Cretans, you’re just insulting them and now me.

              you’re really not doing much to disprove my original point tbh

                Correct, which is why your objection was baseless.

                you’re just insulting them and now me.

                I never denied insulting them. The .ml admins are absolutely vile and cretinous.

                    if so then it surely takes one to know one

                    So we’re in agreement that the .ml admins are vile and cretinous. :)

                Your original point showing that you know nothing about the 196 split and that you baselessly spread slander about 196 not respecting neopronouns?

                That original point is already long disproven.
