These boys don't tend to share their call letters when they're calling
"Sou-eee". But if they do, I agree: let's weed out the extra special
idiots :-)
I'm convinced the only solution is to pretend they do not exist. I spent
a few years teaching profoundly retarded children various things and
apart from the big positives like teaching them how to feed themselves and
put their waste in a toilet, there was the insight that they did various
outrageous things, up to and including self-mutilation, because it was a way
to get their attendants to give them a little extra (extra *ANYTHING*).
Ignoring bad behavior was the quickest way to extinguish it and replace it
with positive behaviors, as cruel as that may sound if you've seen the self-
abuse behaviors of institutionalized folks. Of course with amateurs we can't do
the "replace with positive behaviors" part.
