Someone with the 'tism spergs with a wall of text rant that annoys other editors. They then claim that their autism makes them go on tirades that no one wants to read, and then takes umbrage at an editor pointing to an article called "Living with COVID-19", because that phrase triggers their PTSD and using it is "offensive". I've taken a screencap of the relevant portion.

That is perhaps the most cringeworthy spergout I've ever seen posted in text form. What the hell did the guy expect when he started this?!
Oh and look at that! He's so flustered as he posts this, he actually fucks up the wiki syntax and
forgets to add the time. First, why the fuck is he adding time manually? Every Wikipedian knows you sign posts –
with timestamp – by typing four tildes. And rather than, say, check his edit history to see when the edit was made, he goes out of the way to further embarrass himself by saying he left "in distress" to explain why the post isn't timestamped.
Hard to believe that
this is what precipitated such a meltdown:
For what it's worth, the entire point of the initial rant was to
insist the COVID-19 pandemic is
ongoing. How many other Wikipedia editors do you think are just like this one, in terms of how their attitude towards how WP covers world news stories, but competent enough to avoid making fools of themselves?
And the reason he finds "living with COVID-19" so fucking
triggering to read is because he can't bear to face the thought that
the crisis is over and the rest of the world can finally stop panicking along with him and leave behind this stupid delusion that he is too far gone to part with. How sad.
What? I don't even understand the second half of that.
I almost feel bad laughing at the guy. But honestly, fuck him for trying to make this other people's problem (
and for trying to make his own irrational worries about COVID into everyone else's problem). I'm with Tenryuu and Sir Hiss on this one, but I'd have probably gone further.
