I don't really think I'm alone. I just get a niggling feeling about that.
Oh ok then. My issue has been with the passive-aggressive posts and poorly-disguised threats made in this and other similar threads about the treatment of VM staff.

Like I said, you may not have a problem with derogatory terminology directed at those with mental health problems, but I imagine that most sufferers and their carers do- please think about the feelings of other people and not just your own.
A "niggling feeling" in itself does not give you the right to harass other members with acerbic post after acerbic post.
And then we end up back with this old chestnut. As previously explained, I have not been aggressive in any manner or made any threats towards VM staff.
Quite the opposite, in fact. For example, I have clarified matters of confusion, looked into benefit regulations and offered direct help to anyone affected by the closure.

You have never been threatened. You never fail to post anything that you think will stir up bad feeling or upset.

Wrong. The Cable Forum Team determines what people can and cannot have a mandate to speak about on the forum. Do not attempt to moderate the matter yourself.
The thread was not locked, and was kept open to allow further news to be posted. Your post was not news. As someone who seems to get involved in so many issues, I'm surprised that you don't realise legal matters can take months if not years for anything to happen and often fade away quietly with no publicity settlements.
I'm surprised and disappointed that yet again another thread brings in references to disabilities, where that was not relevant to the thread topic.

I meant that Sirius cannot claim to speak on behalf of the former members of staff from Albert Dock as he was not amongst them.
I asked if anyone had heard anything about the case, if not, fair enough, but why such snide hostility?
Discrimination of the disabled is intertwined into society in general and must be exposed wherever it exists.
I don't think that Russ went out to offend, but it is often such thoughtlessness that can be the most offensive.
The harassment that I am currently experiencing by a certain few is based soley on the fact that I am severely disabled- that's why the subject keeps rearing it's ugly head .

Records show that your harassment of me began around the same time that I mentioned that I was severely disabled.
Once again, I must point out that "he" has a name, or are you being deliberately rude again?

Your post is difficult to decipher, however, it appears that you are saying that you believe that I do not want the CWU to win the case.
To clarify, I have no vested interest in whether the CWU win this case or not. However, if the case is won, it may prove to be a hollow victory as explained earlier.
As also previously explained, I have no interest in your views about the legitimacy of any contacts that I may have with VM.
You cannot assume that you will win, remember the old saying about counting chickens before they are hatched...
