the threads about accessible loos and who can use them. They come up every couple of months, they always go the same way and as usual it's up to those of us with family members that need the facilities to explain to others. Who of course think we're entitled arses for daring to want to have free access to a facility specifically designed for us! Angry
Please, please consider zapping them, I've been having the same arguments for bloody years now.

Hi there @Dawndonnaagain, thanks for posting.
We appreciate that when these subjects crop up again and again on the boards, it can be quite tedious for seasoned MNers who have seen it all before. Having said that, we do have to give consideration to our newer posters who may well not be aware of this well-trodden path and on many occasions, do have genuine questions, asked in good faith.

We know from experience that just removing these kind of threads doesn't work. If we immediately take down every post and every thread in which somebody is asking a question but has got the terminology wrong, or is misinformed on the nature of disabilities, nobody is going to learn anything. We strongly believe that we need there to be discussions around these issues, so we can all be better informed. We need to keep the conversations going so that we can establish what is and isn't okay, what is and isn't disablist.

For that reason, we're going to leave the thread standing, at least for now, and we hope you understand our reasoning behind this. But do please get in touch with us if you see any posts which concern you.
