Today I learned that some people call their big toe after a racist epithet. Someone nonchalantly called it that in a post with a question in a disease support group. I said "most people call that the big toe so as not to offend" and reported his question to the admins.
Somehow I think it is my comment that will be deleted.
I am pleasantly surprised. His post was removed!
I have commented in the past to object to false medical information (anti-vax/anti-mask) stuff and provoked anger. People who share a disease don't often share political leanings, particularly since support groups are often the only thing people in underserved rural areas have
I live where there are several clinics and specialists who can treat my disease. There are people in the group who have never seen any provider with any expertise because the experts are hundreds of miles away & they can't get a referral.
