dear mn hq, please could something be done about the anti sn posts on mn

'I don't want to turn this thread into another bunfight. I can only lose it seems.'

But you have thought and reconsidered what you said, and are perhaps beginning to understand why this is such an emotive issue for many.
Which also shows that you are a more considerate and reflective person than I thought you on first acquaintance.

OH REALLY! Some of you are SO wrapped up in you PC bubbles that nobody can say anything without offending you!

I LOL at WidowWadman's use of "unspecialneedsy", NOT because the term itself is funny or because I find SN funny, BUT because of the how I knew many of the posters on MN would react to it!

I think that this kind of poster should have her knuckles rapped and told to behave herself.

And a good look taken at her other posts to see if she often makes comments like that.

'POG in fairness on MN it has become shorthand for disabled'

I know, but that's because so many of us have children on the spectrum. But there are hundreds more that have children with a disability who are NT, and they are all as significant and need to be considered without shorthand.

I don't want to turn this thread into another bunfight. I can only lose it seems.

M

You can have a child in a wheelchair that is NT, it's not shorthand for disabled.
In the same way that if your child is quadriplegic after a car accident, they are still NT, but now disabled.

Widow thank you for ahving the guts to come here and post.

Mme - i think we all know just how quickly MNHQ can get their fingers out of their arses and do something when they want to...

Widow
I understand that you made a mistake with the "specialneedsy" comment, but the worse comment was from Bunnyfluffy (or similar NMumsy name) laughing about the SN parents, imo.

I find it quite telling that MNHQ haven't actually answered this thread yet.

I for one, can't wait to read their response.

I have just read glitters thread too.

It is a mixture of stupidity and nastiness. I am sorry that other mums have left but I am pleased that I know a little bit more about a couple of posters I recognised on there. Always nice to know who the cunts are.

BunnyWunny and WidowWadman are the posters you are looking for on that thread.
Is naming names Bad Form?
Oh Dear.

Glitterknickaz thread on benefits.

MNHQ might not post until tomorrow. It is Sunday, the thread was started late last night.

glitter's thread

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1297075-To-wonder-what-the-govt-has-planned-to-punish-those-NOT-on-benefits

and this is glitters thread, again apologies for it not being a link, you will have to c&p it to your address bar :)

It was me who posted the first comment. As I've tried to explain twice on the thread, it was not meant as an insult or derogatory in any way shape or form, but just as a short hand. I didn't know the term "neurotypical" at the time.

As I've said on the other thread, I'm truly sorry if that choice of words caused offence. I didn;t intend to offend with this choice of words.

It seems also that I have not expressed myself very well in the argument. I didn not intend to say that anyone was a bad parent or a worse parent than me - I objected to that insinuation (now deleted), which sadly has been misread as another attack on someone's parenting style, and followed by my choice of words with which I unintendedly offended a lot of users this suddenly turned into an argument I never set out to have.

I'm quite gutted if I have come across as someone who deliberately pokes fun at people with disabilities or their carers. I wouldn't and I have the biggest sympathies for people who have to face these problems and am grateful that I don't.
