Turbo and Speedruns

I made a fairly long pastebin on turbo in speedrunning (something already acceptable in the JRTA community). However, I was wanting to just try to start a little discussion over what is mostly a hypothetical situation: if a runner uses turbo to complete speedruns due to having a disability. Please note that I wrote this from assuming that any runner is simply running games for their own personal enjoyment, not for WR attempts. This is also opposed to a runner cheating by using Turbo despite having no physical limitations. Anyway, here's the full pastebin: http://pastebin.com/GxcU6A7D You can make just as many valid arguments against what I say in this pastebin, in all honesty. However, even though I may not be exactly the greatest speedrunner ever, I will always enjoy speedrunning greatly despite my own hand problems. I hope that no one in this community will ever bully anyone due to using turbo or other setups to deal with a physical limitation, because it can be hard enough to keep a positive outlook with speedrunning when you do have such obstacles holding you back.
