Hey MNHQ. Would it be possible to have a discussion about how SN issues/threads are handled on the main boards. ( pt 2)

waves

unfortunately I do get it..having a DD with severe needs who has always also been happy..but I also get that if kids are unhappy a lot it is very challenging, to extent that a child can be more "able" but if they are constantly melting down it is very very difficult.

I get that too, I honestly do. My major aim for ds is to protect his mental health. Like I say it's the dumbing down of the word severe to something more palatable or aspirational I don't understand.

I'm not sure if I'm pleased or depressed that my thread needs a part two.

i didn't see the unacceptable words thread. An astonishingly stupid and provocative thread title. Absoloutely guaranteed to creat a fucktonne of offence.

Ok I've very carefully thought about my response here.

I have already clarified that the thread was never supposed to be inflammatory and I do struggle to see where I personally victimised you. But I do apologise for the thread itself and for any distress you feel I have caused. I am aware that it was very soon after another thread that riled people up. Both threads where actually ideas piggybacked from other people. They said it sounded like a good idea and I took the ball and ran too far with it. One very well known poster has been in contact and apologised for suggesting it but she didn't need to. I talk full responsibility and will admit I fucked up big time. I will be very careful about what I post and where I post it. From here I will no longer discuss it. All I can do is admit I fucked up and apologise profusely and hope that in time I am forgiven.

Talk=take

Ah, well I missed the thread and had no idea who started it.

My assumption was it was deliberately provocative and shit stirring. I couldn't imagine any other purpose. I had no idea it was someone from here.

I'm not distressed. I didn't see it. Just 'list unacceptable words' is right up there in terms of goady posts guaranteed to go the same way.

Of course I do.
I have suffered severe anxiety and depression in the past and still do now days. I also have severe issue with food mentally and physically. But like I said I fucked up.

It wasn't no but thank you for clarifying

Because I fucked up. Stupidly so. My anxiety causes me to jump on the bandwagon even if I'm not entirely comfortable with it. Hence why I don't socialise IRL a lot

I'm getting myself quite upset here now so will excuse myself from this thread and return later when I have calmed down..

Dh wil do his but if knows I've been letting myself get upset by something online

Do his nut*

and hope HQ continue to take such a strong stance as they are at present on disablist posts.

Absolutely

The 'mn is hysterical' thread....

Need, i know what you mean about bandwagons, i have done the same before

Dixie, that comment... !!!

my issue with the idea of a thread about "bad words" is that someone will always excuse the word. make excuses for why the word should be used.
so all it does is cause a ruck and hurt.

Thank you beyond and what I was hoping Samcro as it initially did, people were surprised to learn certain things. I didn't think it through fully (clearly) and it understandably back fired

There's another thread where people are referring to ASD as bad behaviour and trotting out all the usual nonsense and needing to read this is my child.

CbA posting on thread to be told I don't think the needs of NT kids matter and that I am the SN brigade so have dine some reporting.

Nothing changes on MN.

Could write the thread myself these days.

Its like someone has created a spambot that writes them!
