Thank you. It's been a rather strange day, but I feel a bit better now that I've spoken to my specialist. I had to take something and have only just woken up!!! I'm still very groggy, tired and feeling like i'm here but not here if you know what I mean. He's given me a sleeping tablet to take, so it won't be long before I'm back in bed.
Do you upload your stings? I'd be interested in seeing some. You can PM it to me if you don't want to post this publically.

This was my assessment of the situation. Because my brain injury affects my cognitive abilities and, as a result of this, I acknowledge that I can sometimes misinterpret things or express myself badly, I asked two people to independently assess the overall situation. One in an official capacity, my disability support worker and the other a friend who works for childline. Both agreed that it was trolling and one said that she thinks it's online bullying.

I assume that people don't have a disability unless they choose to disclose this.
Please don't talk in riddles as it's difficult for me to understand and could be viewed as you trying to run rings around a severely disabled person.
If you are disabled, then you should know better. However, just because one person has a disability doesn't necessarily mean that they will understand and empathise with the disability of another. A wheelchair user, for example, won't automatically understand someone with mental incapacity issues, but they should at least try.
Also, being disabled oneself doesn't mean that you cannot be guilty of unlawfully discriminating against others on the grounds of disability. That would be like saying that a black man cannot be guilty of unlawful racism!
I remember when you first joined the forum and you weren't at all antagonistic or rude. I suspect that you've slipped into this as a form of defense because of the actions of the others that do this, it is easy to slip into without even realising it.

It's very odd how you can write articulately, but as soon as you don't like something being said to you you whip out the 'i have a disability' card. As if you didn't understand what i said.
Now, go and seek affirmation from your support worker, I'm sure they will tell you again, that you did, said absolutely nothing wrong & It's certainly everyone else's fault
I'm not going to waste any more of my time on a weapons grade helmet such as yourself.
