Yikes. They're straight up using ableist language in that one comment.

Yeah, they definitely need a stern talking too.

Or a bounce, which I'm only advocating for since they clearly aren't here to participate, just bash and troll.

Someone who unironically uses the phrase “autistically retarded” should not stay on this site.

They've been bounced, with zero constructive edits or posts to their name.

As a reminder, again, please do not make a habit of saying "they should be suspended/bounced/not be on this site/etc.", even in cases like this. Those decisions are up to the mod team to make.

Yeah, I know, sorry. It just felt more like I was pointing out the obvious ("this person is bounce-worthy") and less like I was mini-modding ("the mods should bounce them") in this case, but I'll admit I did feel like it was a bit over the line regardless. At the very least, my intention was just to point out the obvious punishment, even if it didn't read that way.

I'm fairly certain most of the time people don't really have that intention, but I've just been watching a vague uptick in those kinds of comments recently. Just taking advantage of the opportunity to remind.
