In reference to: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=407056
Calling a fictional character retarded just because they are autistic, and not because of the character's known specific deficits, counts as calling all autistic people retarded.
Calling all autistic people retarded is an attack on all Nationstates players with autism.
I offer no opinion on whether the ban on flaming applies only to attacks on individuals, or to attacks on broad categories of players as well. I offer no opinion on whether or not mod action should be taken against Aelex. I just wanted to clarify that this goes beyond a fictional character; a fact that escaped the attention of some people.
Carry on.
