My comments have nothing to do with their mental disability nonetheless

Presumably you know enough about these things to realise that what you've said not alright. If not, it might help if you imagine saying equivalent things with other forms of oppression you are more familiar with. Please cut it out immediately at the least.

I understand that they said some insulting things to you; that doesn't make this kind of behaviour acceptable.

You're right. I missed the bit about their mental disability in the link Brick sent me, seemed to have nothing to do with what we were discussing when I scanned through it, so I moved on.

If someone is hostile to me, I respond back. The intention is not do belittle mentally disabled people in any way, it's only to return their insults in kind. But I doubt anyone is willing to believe that.

What's next? Am I banned? Not trying to be an ass, just honestly want to know.

Use non-ableist insults next time. Nothing's next. We usually give people the opportunity to stop, as I just did, so presuming you have that's as far as this goes for me unless someone makes a case to take it further.

I'd personally appreciate it if you didn't engage them OwO in a hostile way going forward.

No worries. I'll be more thoughtful in my approach going forward and haven't the slightest desire to engage this user any further.
