Why not? You are. I would bet who would get the most votes in a poll for who should disappear, Ben or DMD. And it wouldn’t be DMD.

For info:
Disability is one of 9 'protected characteristics' covered by discrimination law (Equality Act 2010). The law protects people against discrimination, harassment and victimisation.

It seems ironic that we have a fantastically supportive sticky thread for mental health issues, and yet on another thread, members piled onto one member like a pack of rabid dogs and openly speculating on his mental health, while he was part of the conversation. Also describing perceived mental health issues as if it was a weakness. I notice some of those who came to the conclusion he had a mental health issue continue to abuse him. Those involved need to take a long and hard look at themselves. The fact that one was a Mod, who clearly abused the powers that brings is pretty poor (overall he does a thankless job on here well, so have no idea why he got involved). It did make me question my continued involvement on here, but am a stubborn ****.As a teenager I laughed at Love Thy Neighbour and Till Death is Do Part, not realising for quite a while, that the racist always got their comeuppance, looking at it now, in the 2020’s the language looks horrendous, but websites like this allow very similar language, I’ve tried calling it out a couple of times, I’ve probably said similar in private in the past, but you learn that it’s going to upset someone so I don’t use it.
The Mods need to get a grip because either the board will get shut down or reported to the cops.

I did want to post similar immediately after, but didn’t as I was concerned it would just prolong/ reopen the argument. However, do feel strongly about this (and have noticed the abuse carrying on) so needed to have my say on a particularly shameful episode in the history of this board. Please don’t use this post as an excuse to restart it, and if you feel compelled to reply, don’t expect a response from me.

Can I suggest that if some of you posters wish to extend the grievance you appear to have with me because I highlight racists onto other threads then please own the fallout if I respond accordingly.
At the moment I’m happy with it contained here but it appears some wish, probably with a little push, to cause grief further afield.
Thank you.
