Thread deleted
Message from MNHQ: Thanks so much for all the reports about this.

Although there has been some interesting debate and discussion, we do agree that the OP and some of what ensues is disablist, so we have decided to delete.

how can these be interesting debates??
\not long ago mn hq said that they were going to be quicker dealing with this stuff

I haven't claimed to be. Weird that you imagine I have.

The only person who looks rude and silly is you.

I'm not the one making up stuff.

And a passive aggressive HTH right back at you. Grin

Just5minswithDacre · 21/08/2016 18:41

Silver AFAIK you are the only poster on this thread who has ever had a post deleted on MN for disablism.

Here we are all arguing that the official MN bar for disablism needs moving a bit but you've been arguing throughout that it's fine where it is.

Care to reflect on that?

TheSilverChair · 21/08/2016 18:41

And I've spent years on here and elsewhere challenging othering and prejudice. I'm used to people getting defensive, telling me to be quiet, accusing me of trying to silence them, getting upset when called out on stuff and resorting to comments like yours.

I'm not defensive, though. And it's you trying to silence me.

Ok, you win. You've bullied me off the thread. Well done.

LittleCandle · 21/08/2016 18:44

I don't think MN is becoming 'worthy', since you appear to mean that in a derogatory term, SilverChair. What you appear to be referring to is the fact that people are more sensitive to what offends others, especially when referring to disabilities. Every word you have said on here shows that you are lacking totally in empathy for others and are hard of understanding and putting yourself in another's position. Being thoughtful of others' feelings is not somehow demeaning or priggish, as you imply. You've been disablist throughout this whole thread and should be ashamed of yourself.

Sixweekstowait · 21/08/2016 18:44

Good riddance

TheSilverChair · 21/08/2016 18:44

Silver AFAIK you are the only poster on this thread who has ever had a post deleted on MN for disablism.

Where? As far as I know I have never had any post deleted.

Jasonandyawegunorts · 21/08/2016 18:45

Bottom middle.

Sixweekstowait · 21/08/2016 18:45

That was to SilverChair

LittleCandle · 21/08/2016 18:46

Oh, I thought you were leaving, SilverChair...

Sixweekstowait · 21/08/2016 18:46

I thought you'd gone

I had fun finding it anyway.

Just5minswithDacre · 21/08/2016 18:47

You have been deleted early on the 'deaf jokes' thread.

So you fall foul even of the existing disablism standard in MN. The one you think is fine.

TheSilverChair · 21/08/2016 18:48

I was until I spotted that. I'm interested because in years on being on MN I've never had a post deleted. Certainly haven't had an email from HQ about a deletion.

BeyondLovesSweetDee · 21/08/2016 18:48
Just5minswithDacre · 21/08/2016 18:51

HQ don't send emails to notify of deletions.
