To be fair, he doesn't need to put his disorder in his signature, sheesh... be careful with stuff like that. We could try not to piss on people for using wrong grammar or spelling all the time, this is an international forum and most of us fuck it up anyway.
I mean, it makes sense if he claims a certain nationality (English) and we catch him in constantly making mistakes that someone from France or Germany might make, but this (they're/their/there) is just an internet meme at this point.
Kinda like seitseid.de :P

I'm pretty sick of people pretending to have disorders so that others take care of their special needs, pet peeves, and the likes. I'm not saying that's the case here, but going 'You know I am/have xyz, right?' sure as hell isn't the way to go about it either. Because how would I know?
I'm sure you dislike it, because it fits. Describing people is an actual thing, call it a label all you want, it doesnt change that brexit was to either "Take back control of the border" (racists) or someone believed (ignorants) the immense lies told by the opportunists.
Truth sometimes hurts, that's your issue
People with such disorders try to hide it typically, I know this from SEVERAL personal friends that have some sort of writing disorder. If you don't catch them, they'll never tell you. Because it's embarassing for them. And if you do the Sherlock and accuse them, of course they're gonna get defensive, break and lash out at youf or being mean. It's something they're not proud of. I agree with you that many people claim dyslexia because they're just lazy fucks, and those guys I despise, but the actual people with that disorder will typically not willingly reveal that information unless you force the issue and they have no other way of getting you off their back.
So, personally, I found it's best for everyone not to nitpick spelling unless you need to, like if he's a dick about someone else's spelling (fun internet truth, whenever someone picks at someone else's spelling, you only need to go a few posts back to find them misspelling something... that's the main reason why I never correct people about spelling unless they're a dick first haha).

Yeah, I have to deal with many people like that professionally. Not dyslexia, but patients that claim to have any number of disorder to get meds, attention, excuse their behaviour, and so on. I'm probably not fair in that regard. I should probably give people the benefit of the doubt. I know I can be a dick about it, and similar issues. I'm okay with you saying so, as well, it's 100% true.
Maybe I'll try to take a page out of your book, though. Not worth the trouble.
I don't blame you, I absolutely believe that a lot of people abuse the systems like that. But sometimes you catch the wrong guy and he needs that extra attention, Never let cynicism ride your decision making process. It's hard as a professional, I know from personal experience. Cynicism gets you sometimes.

I've got writing and reading difficulties of a dyslexic nature. Which translates into that I suck at spelling and inherently can't recognize if I've misspelled a word. I've forced myself to get good at spelling by writing a lot, reading what I've written, and being lucky in having a great picture memory. I can recognize a misspelled word by how it looks in a text. Which, however, has pitfalls. Your/You're is one, but that one is easy due to context and how different they look and sound. "To/Too"? **** me over a petrol pump.
Also, I tend to thank people when they help me with spelling, not get passive agressive/agressive/angry. As I know just what a fucking pain it is to read at times.
The fact that the poster in question doesn't want to distance himself from racists but keeps including himself in racists, is also not a good look.

I really don't know how to react to this. Thank you for being this candid. For what it's worth, I have the utmost respect for you for tackling this head-on.
If what I've said in regards to dyslexia has offended anyone, I'm sorry. I know I can be an ass about these things.
What Garbage your writing, no utter tripe. My family voted for Brexit, they are not racists no matter how hard you're trying to paint them as it, are you saying I should distance myself from them because they did not vote your so-called correct way.
The labeling of people as a massive group of whatever insult suits you is just plain wrong, it's sad you can not see this, it does not seem very logical to smear an entire group of people.
As for not a good look, I hate racists, and their values do not align with mine in one slight bit, sorry to break that to you.

And once again this has been my point all along, seems like your the one that can not understand basic reasoning.
you must have missed all if the shoe fits malarky.
I will repeat it for you, so we are clear, DONT LABEL EVERYONE, OR PAINT THEM ALL WITH THE SAME BRUSH.
You have just contradicted yourself with your own quote.
Good Job lol
No wonder dribbles spins you in circles.

I mean, at this point you're just being obtuse and arguing against him out of spite, not because of what he said. :P

And yet you're fine throwing around terms like 'the left' as if that's one universal entity that's the same everywhere. Your hypocrisy is showing. On the other hand, what would you expect from people who voted the racist option.
