Commenters Came in Hot with Their Takes:
It didn’t take long before the comment section turned into a battleground of strong opinions and even stronger emotions.
The original poster (OP) is struggling with the fallout from an unintentional comment made while venting privately about classroom distractions caused by an interpreter's presence.
The central conflict arises from a friend sharing this private vent, which led to a public confrontation where the OP was labeled as ableist, causing significant social and academic distress for the remainder of the semester.
The core debate is whether the OP's initial, private venting about distraction justifies the severe public shaming and ostracization they experienced, or if the friend's decision to relay a private complaint as an accusation of malice was an unforgivable breach of trust that escalated the situation beyond reasonable limits?
