Well, it's not very funny; for one.

A friend of mine who has Asperger's Syndrome posted on her Facebook Wall once about how she had found the "articles" on ED about Asperger's and Autism which belittled and mocked people who were diagnosed with same. She was really very upset about it, so I, having never visited ED before, explored the site and discovered that ED belittles and mock pretty much everything that it is possible to do so, apparently merely for the sake of getting a rise out of people (or perhaps for stupidity's sake.)

I told her that ED makes fun of everything and not to worry about it. (Actually, I also created an account there and tried to remove much of offensive info on the articles in question, but they banned my account and reversed my actions within half an hour of my doing so.)

I tried to argue something similar to this. See, you don't *have* to read their site and they've got the freedom to make fun of anyone and everyone - and they do.

Undoing the articles is like trying to patch a leak on a cardboard steamship; it's not going to do shit.

I'm glad ED is gone. I admit I did find it funny sometimes but the shock images and jokes about murdered kids and other sick things on there where to far IMO. Its true that if you don't like it don't go so that's why I stopped. But I'm still aloud to be happy its gone though freedom of speech goes both ways meaning I can express my happiness its gone.
