Statistics show that most of us will become disabled at some point in our lives, through disease, attack, old age etc.

Shockingly, nearly half of us will get cancer.

Despite this fact, you continue to make your gratuitously caustic remarks against the disabled and seriously ill. Incredibly, this started in this thread because I found a feature on my mobile 'phone that I wanted to share with you because you might have found it easier than texting for a balance?!?!

When I objected to this rudeness, you started being deliberately offensive and persisted with the rudeness. In certain situations, your comments are so appalling that they would be unlawful under equalities and harassment legislation.

It is not for you to speculate on the affects of a persons illness, nor the medication that they take, especially when you are not in possession of the full facts. Assumptions are rarely true and never helpful.

Whilst I appreciate that admin staff are allowed to post in their own right, I do feel that you should lead by example. Any passing person will see your insults and may well be put off from joining or posting.

You say that the lack of new people posting is not a problem, but the views of members in the "what do you want" thread state otherwise. Feelings are that it is the same few people posting and going round and round in circles. Without fresh input a forum risks going stale and is effectively nothing more than a blog.

So, I'll leave you to think about what your actions are doing to the reputation of the site and to ponder how you would feel if someone started causing unnecessary upset when the inevitability is that you, or someone close to you, is very likely to be affected.

I hope that you don't ever have to go through what I'm going through, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Goodnight and God bless.
