I Respect The Special Needs

I got a friend on here (not gonna say who). And he has special needs, and people on here keep ripping at him relentlessly. It's driving me nuts. This site wasn't created so that people can tease and make fun of people who aren't the same as them. It's hard enough that my friend struggles with his special needs. But now people just gotta have a go at him? Does it make people feel good to make other people feel bad? I don't see the fun in it. Then again, I don't consider myself to be a terrible person. To my friend: you know who you are. There are nice people on here, I promise. And I got your back.
