(cont.) and also I feel like a lot of the users who called me retarded (I remember false_paladin and mysticvelo calling me that, I'm not sure about false_paladin's intents but it was obvious that mysticvelo had intended to say that in a degrading and demeaning way) and remember rule 4 of the server, which is "Do not make insults, jokes or use slurs based on sexuality, gender, or anything discriminatory" and I feel like retard would count as a slur based on anything discriminatory. Yes, I know that "mental retardation" is a medical condition, but almost (if not) 100% of the time, when someone calls someone else a retard, they're saying it with the intent to be demeaning and degrading. Also, it feels like some of the users have resorted to almost immediately directly insulting, demeaning, and (possibly/potentially, might be an overreaction sorry if it is) attempting to dehumanize me simply because I'm special ed (which I am, for some reason a lot of people in Vetcord resort to directly insulting or targeting me for that specific reason whenever an argument sparks that I'm involved in in some way) which I feel like at least one or two of those people would know that that's a sensitive topic for me and that they're purposely doing that to try and provoke me into getting mad and saying things that I don't mean and am just saying out of anger so that I get in trouble, which I think is really unfair. Yes, I do agree that my behavior isn't the most favorable or the nicest to put up with, and I'm making an effort to change, but I feel like the others in Vetcord shouldn't just be able to beat me down constantly whenever I say something slightly stupid. I'm asking for my indefinite mute to either be appealed or shortened to a 1 week-1 month (anything between those I'd prefer, I mean I'll take a 2 or 3 month mute but I prefer those). Thank you for understanding.
