MN is quite happy to let innacurate thread titles be posted that could promote discrimination against disabled children and their famillies

Title say's it all.

Is there not a song about that which may well suit you Bret?
"YOUR so vain" perhaps?

My what is so vain?

Oh, you mean You're so Vain.

Your (possessive determiner)
You're (contraction of you are)

On and BTW it's "inaccurate" not "innacurate".

Hope this helps!

Bret at this time of night I don't give a damn but may thanks for your top tips maybe you should stick with this grammer and spellin thang you have got going you seem to have a natural flair for it.

Oh jeez, has IT not shoved off.

is IT a stalker.

no-one likes you on here bret.

hope this helps.

Breton1900-

It helps to use these: " " when you quote from another post, and these: ' ' when using words as examples. Words such as 'inaccurate'.

Come on guys - you've been staying out too long.

Come on back downstairs.

I'm sorry, I haven't read all of the posts, but I like the fact than MN isn't overly regulated/monitored/nannystated. I think pretty much all threads should be left to run their course.

There are lots of posters and many of us are able to run a thread into the ground if it's unsavory.

I understand why the Mums (& maybe some Dads but I haven't seen any) get utterly fed up of defending their children with SN and why they sometimes feel isolated, but honestly it does act as an education to some people. Other times you just need to hit the 'hide' button.

There is something that goes on here a LOT that really upsets me, sometimes I have a go, sometimes I try to reply with a well thought out post, sometimes I hit the 'hide' button and no matter how much it upsets me t see it there - I still wouldn't want MNHQ to 'pull it' because a) it's my issue not everyones issue and b) occasionally people learn something and c) I don't want to be on a site that is heavily monitored and full of restricitons.

I think it's also like buying an orange car, before you did it there weren't any on the road, now you have one the road is full of them - we see things that we are 'in tune' with so there seem to be more of them.

So chipping you think to say a condition such as ADHD is nonsense is ok? Would you say it was OK to say for example that person over there in a wheelchair should get up and walk because thats nonsense that they are sitting in a wheelchair and can't walk?

Breton"Well by that logic none of us should express an opinion about anything unless we have direct experience of that particular topic/issue.
What a dull world that would be!"

Breton I also said that You are entitled to express your opinion, however you never listened to parents who have children with ADHD when they explained clearly to you how ADHD affects their dc, but continued to insult them very badly with your ignorance.

And it wouldn?t be a dull world if people like you, who don?t have direct experience of ADHD and don?t understand what ADHD means in the slightest, and have a very sick personality, to shut their mouth and keep their nasty comments for themselves.

Yes Wassup - I think MNHQ should let it stand - then it can get slapped down by other MNers for the utter shite it is.

I don't want to be on forum where everything takes an hour to appear because it's going through moderation and where things are vetted to the satisfaction of the moderators...

We are quite able to slap stupid comments down ourselves.

So you think disabilism and racism and the like are OK then Chipping?

I totally disagree with the viewpoints expressed in the threads such as ADHD is nonsense when it is clearly a serious condition that severely alters peoples lives but I wouldn't want to see these threads removed as this would be stifling the debate and I also find them quite educational as I have no children with SN.
For me its a case of I don't like what you say but I defend your right to say it.
Also I don't want to have to wait for my posts to be published as a moderator has to approve it first.

tethersend.

I think you will find that there are no absolute rules on the use of quotation marks.

In general use some distinctions may be made between the two and it is often found that single quotation marks are used for single characters and double quotation marks are used for whole words or phrases.

wasuup3000: do you not see that taking the moderates views and skewing them to the most extreme reading does little to help move the discussion along? It's the basic arguing technique of the Daily Mail's forum and I'm not sure I can be any more disapproving than that!

'So you think disabilism and racism and the like are OK then Chipping?'

No she doesn't, she feels that such sentiments should be openly challenged rather than hushed up and driven underground like dry rot.
I understand that some posters are weary of the constant battles and ignorance, and would just rather not have to deal with it. Many of them are coping with far more challenges than I am.
I've always preferred to fight engage in rational discussion. Even if others aren't very rational.

Breton: as a fellow grammatical pedant, could I just ask: Really? Now? It's doing little to dispel the feeling you're just on here spoiling for a fight.

Feel free to ignore etc.

Hudd the problem was just mostly with the op, everyone was trying to educate IT, and give facts but the op would not or did not want to hear it.

so there was no point to the op starting it in the first place.

IT did not want a debate, just wanted to wind us up, and show their total ignorant side.

usually with similar threads, where the op would ask a genuine question, if they felt it caused offence they would apologise.

that op just could not do that though, which is pure ignorance.

BRET WE DONT LIKE YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!!

oh and if you want the evidence to that, read your thread.

"Why has this thread developed into a re-run of mine?"

Probably you appear to have started repeating what you said in your OP in your second (now deleted) post in this thread which had been until that point a discussion upon MN policy regarding SEN topics in general, not just yours.

You should have avoided this if you did not want to "do the whole thing again" and if you genuinely do not want to repeat yourself, then don't.

Your co-operation in keeping this discussion on topic would be appreciated.

Goblinchild - thank you :)

Heracles: I've stayed on this thread because I don't care to be traduced. Neither do I take kindly to being misquoted - hence my comments to LadyBiscuit and smallwhitecat.

As for wasuup3000, I was intentionally lighthearted and offered her some help because her humorous reference to "YOUR so Vain" unintentionally backfired on her. My remark to tethersend was simply to make a point.

Nowt backfired on wasuup, anyone with a brain new what she was saying.

which is something you clearly lack.

knew - better correct myself eh

IMO everyone with kids with SN has made their point beautifully. Breton will bicker endlessly, quibbling on and on about grammar or anything at all, and it is getting very wearing to read. Just need to step away now and let it lie,seriously.

It's a bit harsh to berate people for swearing at trolls who have come on here in NUMBERS (norwegian blue etc, possibly Breton) purely to rile them up, IMO - it's not like all these (LOVELY) mums have just thought "They are disagreeing with me, so I'll swear at them".
