I think it's a bit of a loaded question. But I'll be honest, I hate listening to other stutterers for the same reasons I hate my own. Conversations take so much longer, it's much harder to understand what's being said when the syllables are all mumbled and words or syllables come with long pauses in between. A lot of communication is in tone and timing, which are things stuttering robs us of. Will I avoid or mock them for that? Absolutely not. Nor will I have them as a person, I know it's not deliberate and I'll try and look past it, but that obstacle is always there.
