I'm not going to waste any more of my time on a weapons grade helmet such as yourself.

You have no idea how my disability affects me, nor what accessibility aids that I use. Russ suffers from a variety of conditions but (to my knowledge) is able to write in a perfectly articulate fashion without any help.

This just goes to show how little you understand about the difficulties that those with mental & physical disabilities face. There's nothing wrong with that in itself, but you don't even try, in fact you go out of your way to make the lives of disabled people even harder than they already are.

Whilst I wouldn't wish dementia etc on you or anybody else, if this happens to you, I hope that you are met with a similar nasty arrogant attitude from those around you.

Best to put me and any other disabled members on ignore if you aren't able to discuss/debate matters with disabled/vulnerable people in a decent, respectful and adult manner.

Hopefully, the forthcoming online harms legislation will help to protect the disabled community from being subject to such unpleasant online behaviour.

So, they knew what they were doing, an act of revenge, they knew they were doing a bad thing, but as we know, sometimes these attacks go "unseen", as they're deemed "fair game". Some might say that's a "good" evil act?


it does seem too much of a coincidence for this to happen by (bad) luck.

Yes, it would be nice to get back to the subject under discussion rather than indulging those who crave hostility and discord from deliberately orchestrating arguments.

I have no doubt that what you say is correct and that a blind eye is taken when it suits.

My own opinion is that the due process of law should be applied. Society has decided that rape is unacceptable and that it should be punished in certain ways that doesn't include vigilantism.

I can understand why people feel aggrieved and want to exact personal revenge, but cannot support this behaviour.

A breakdown in law & order would be to the detriment of everyone in society.

I personally don't know of anybody that has done this, but on the balance of probabilities I accept that it's likely to have happened as people seek to avoid going to prison.

Ironically, the result of them doing this successfully could be that they end up being locked up for life to protect the public. Imprisonment would likely mean that they would be released after a period of time.

The thing is, medically untrained people aren't able to differentiate the difference, so it's best left to the experts who have trained over many years to be able to do so.
