When did I say I don't want opposing viewpoints? I don't want people to use slurs or defend their usage when I have asked people not to do so in my space. Feel free to defend and use ableist slurs in your journal all you want.
My point is that it doesn't hurt YOU to stop using something that HURTS disabled people, which they're saying in that blog entry. And you're saying, well, they're overreacting/meanings change, as if no social justice activist has ever heard that before. (They have, so often, in fact, that it's on a bingo card.)
