Seems like there are some real fucking stupid mutes going around. I applaud each of you who wears that red badge of courage next to your name. You are heroes among swine.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the autistic." - Desmond Tofu
Furthermore, as Henry David Thorayyyyeuh wrote in his famous treatise, Resistance to Autistic Government...
"I was muted once on this account, for one night; and, as I stood considering the mute, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if I were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be muted up. I wondered that it should have concluded at length that this was the best use it could put me to, and had never thought to avail itself of my services in some way. I saw that, if there was a mute between me and my townsmen, there was a still more difficult barrier to climb or break through before they could get to be as free as I was. I did not for a moment feel confined, and the mute seemed a great waste of effort. I felt as if I alone of all my townsmen had paid my tax. They plainly did not know how to treat me, but behaved like persons who are underbred. In every threat and in every compliment there was a blunder; for they thought that my chief desire was to stand the other side of that mute. I could not but smile to see how industriously they muted my meditations, which followed them out again without let or hindrance, and they were really all that was dangerous. As they could not reach me, they had resolved to punish my account; just as boys, if they cannot come at some person against whom they have a spite, will abuse his dog. I saw that the Mods were half-witted, that they were timid as a lone woman with her silver spoons, and that they did not know their friends from their foes, and I lost all my remaining respect for them, and pitied them."
