Although I didn't think about initially, the decision is also flawed
given that it makes no reference to the repeated <a
href="http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Trigger_warning">triggering</a>.
Issues with conflating brain damage with neuro-divergent conditions
abound - if you doubt this, go to a schoolyard or certain gaming
communities and listen to the insults. These insults are typically
associated with discrimination events encountered by the
neuro-divergent. This is not to say that Alyssa was aware of the
nature of her offensive comments - although there are questions if
it was part of a pattern before the two occurrences recently on this
list. <br>
<br>
This is not to say that any such pattern is in scope for any
moderator action on OSMF communication channels like this list,
particularly as it would have involved in-person events without a
record of events.<br>
