My main problem with posting is with my cognitive impairment as it effects various thinking & memory processes. Think of it as a computer with a virus, it will take much longer to process a command and even then may come up with the wrong answer!
I would expect people to be more understanding of this and certainly not to go out of their way to run rings around me, be obtuse and create needless hostility.
Equalities law also expects this too, so i'm really surprised that someone in a managerial position should behave like this. Disabled employees should be confident in expecting support as opposed to sanctimoneous negativity tinged with sarcasm when approaching management for help.
Having said that, we are all human and he may be facing issues of his own that are leading to this uncharacteristic behaviour.

Occam’s Razor - it’s not your disability (which no one knew about until you mentioned it, but it hasn’t changed the style or tone of your postings), but just what and how you post that engenders a negative reaction - having a disability does not exempt you from critique if people believe you have posted inappropriately.
You have, in the past, threatened CF’ers with legal action, and when that hasn’t worked, you continually play the ‘victim’ card.
I have duty of care to employees (of which you are not one), but if any of them behaved the way you do, no matter if they had one of the nine protected characteristics, they would be having a conversation, with HR and the Union Rep present - the Equality Act 2010 does not give those protected by it carte blanche to be an arse, or equally use what could be perceived as discriminatory language (and no, saying ‘it’s been cleared up’ by denying what you said was meant to be discriminatory, but not explaining what you did mean by saying ‘it’s genetic with these people’ is not sufficient).
And being passive-aggressive by intimating that I may have mental health issues shows how hypocritical you are - whether I do, or do not, is none of your business, and how would you react* if people said that your postings and views were due to brain damage?
