STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AND STOP THE ATTACKS ON SN PARENTS

[4madboys]

ok NOT an aibu, but this is where it will be seen the most and it NEEDS awareness.

quite frankly, i along with others am appalled at the comments that are being made and left to stand, toward the SN community, they are downright offensive and quite simply appalling.

i am sure (or hope) that the majority on here do NOT agree with them but yet the SN community on mn are not being supported, whether this is because people do not know what to say, or they havent seen these posts i do not know?

BUT IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT THINGS CHANGED, so this a thread where you can stand up and be counted and say that you do not agree with the disregard, blatant trolling and offensive behaviour towards our lovely mn who have or are dealing with sn in their family.

they need this place for support, not the vile behaviour that they are getting.

so please post here and show your support and help make a change for the better.

all it takes is a smile next to your name to show you agree :)

Gah! Buggered up the stars but you get the point...

I like these [arse]'s
I wonder how they would look

[arse] for my ds

I agree the constant care he needs, the changing pooey nappies, the inappropriate behaviour, the violent outbursts. (Yesterday he had a 45 min episode when he noticed dd2 had a Dora doll. He cried, he sobbed, he shoputed and he smacked her. He just can not understand why he couldn't have the doll. He was properly distraught and nothing was making him happy.)
are doable and you just get onwith them.

The scary thoughts are what will happen after school finishes and adult services off him next to nothing? Willhe be in nappies forever? Will he live with us forever as noone can take care of him as good as us?

Do you think that word is that irma? I use it in the context of someone who is just too shitty to want to see somene else's POV, in no way somene unable. I won't use it on here agin if it offends but it is interesting how the word has different emanings to different people.

And also that as an adult I can say OK if it upsets people I will desist, not a problem.

Apparently it's a contraction of fucking and the r word see here. I used to use it until someone pointed it out because I hadn't realised the meaning.

I think fuckwit is ok though because we all have wits. Even if some are more fucked than others

Ah I thought you meant fuckwit. Did not even know other word existed!

Apologies if offended anyone with the a ? word

A word? Do you mean [arse]? Nowt offensive about that

Peachy it's sad that word even exists. But fuckwit is an excellent word and I use it often

It is indeed a favourite.

Ah Irma - I reported that as well, probably on the same thread, and yes, it's still there and no word from MNHQ.

When I'd seen it before, I thought it was a contraction of fucking bastard but was told quite categorically that it isn't.

Me too...btw I do think special interest groups need to be a bit wary of deeming fairly commonly used words unacceptable, because in that way lies loss of support/ understanding/ acceptance from the bulk of the population.

But the thread is about the way that SN parents are treated on mn and the casual use of offensive language. Religion/race bashing threads and language are not permitted on here, why is disability not granted the same courtesy?

I expect so Thumb. I got a right ticking off by the poster when I PM'd to explain why it was offensive (I was really nice about it too!) and got told I had too much time on my hands, that it is not my place to report but MNHQ's to decide (don't think she gets how the moderation of this site works) and to leave her posts alone! Did a quick search... and she came over from Nethuns so doubtless just doesn't get it yet.

I have zero problem with being called a bitch, jugemental or ignorant (all things I've seen deleted recently) but I don't want to see words like the r word or s**z being used on MN ever. In exactly the same way I don't want to see racist or homophobic terms ever on here. And yet it's still there.

I am refusing to engage with Middlesex who I hope gets an outright ban.

Why was my post deleted? It wasn't a personal attack?

Maybe MNHQ slipped when they deleted middlesex ? - yours disappeared at the same time.

What did you say?

OK I take it back. MNHQ have deleted the post now hours later

Whatmeworry I don't understand your post about special interest groups?? SN is not a lifestyle choice or a hobby. Just because an offensive term is used often and/or used by people ignorant to it's meaning does not make it ok. I'm not black, Pakistani or gay and my family and I are not currently disabled but that doesn't mean I want to see offensive terms used about those groups.

What did you say Lissie?

Luckily I missed Middlesex's post but I get the impression it wasn't nice.

Maybe we should have a smiling arse icon?

I said that either they didn't understand the thread or they were being a twat. Pretty cross right now
