Disablism

*child

God forbid my hold might be next door to the normal people.

Well yeah Auser she basically shut down the argument. Gives free reign for it to carry on. If they won't change it the only thing one can rely on is the good sense of people to stop and think before they decide to post an inflammatory and disabilist thread like the one in question. I doubt that will happen though.

Candy I will go back to the start, I may have to read it a couple of times so I can make sure I take it all in but I will come back to you.

Thank you for being understanding and supportive, I will of course give you the same understanding back

Bishop - apologies this is back to that whole educating thing... But could you help me with that please? I thought she didn't want to live next door to the people she taught because one had thrown a chair at her that week.

So... No one would want to live next door to someone who threw chairs at them would they? That's common sense? This is the bit I don't understand being disablist

Sorry. It FEELS like a massive big kick in the cunt and a massive massive minimisation and lack of understanding of overlap and difficulties and just LIFE of those of us dealing with this in a daily basis.

Waitrose.
I supported you on the last thread.i put myself in your shoes.
Please will you do me a favour?
Will you support me back by reading every single post in this thread and put yourself in my shoes and then see how you feel?

But Moz. LOOK at Rebecca post. It's a massive big kick in the cunt.

Bishop that fucked me off aswell

Auser

Not much to add, just disapointed HQ aren't listening tbh. We can but try...

I'm not disabled. My child who isn't a child any more is. And that child wil, likely be one of those window lickers singing annoyances in a home that no body wants it live next to driving down house prices.

Which, of course, now according to HQ is not Disablism.

How can they not see it?

Thanks Umbongo x

Candy I like what you post. You talk a lot of sense

I don't need MN to address what's happening to me but I do want them to address the Personal Attacks/inflammatory posts which I'm sure they will - like I said in the other thread, everyone needs to be nicer to each other for anyone to learn anything.

If anyone feels I have posted anything that breaks the guidlines please report and I would be happy to hold my hands up and apologise.

Tensions are running high for everyone, without the digs too...

I apologise for my comments upthread but it's pretty upsetting that's I'm not "disabled enough" to have an opinion that counts.
And leave Waitrose alone she's clearly having an fucking wank time of things. Think we can cut her some slack!

MNHQ if you are going to delete this thread TOI, please can you email me and reassure me that the very useful points on disablism on this thread Have at least been noted and will be used to form policy and guidance for all MNetters?

We've been handed to them on a plate by that statement from Rebecca and we are fucked now. Seriously we might as well put a sign on this thread.

Well, i was going to come on here to say that i felt you were a little over the top on the other thread.. while there were some glaring examples of disablism, i felt Umbongo's comment was taken totally out of context and she didn't deserve the attack she got for it.

But as you all seem to have descended into childish sniping and PA's, i'm fucking off out of here all together.

This isn't becoming of any one.

Have fun being vile to each other i'm done.

With so many posters who have first hand experience dealing with disability, surely it would be easy enough for HQ to work with users to devise hard and fast rules as to what is and isn't appropriate with regards to what people post when talking about disability. Why is it so difficult?!
