You are being deliberately offensive now and this has upset me greatly.
You are fully aware that I have a cognitive disability that affects memory, yet believe it to be appropriate to refer to my decision to remind you of this as 'playing a disability card' and referring to this as not being able to be bothered.
Tell me, if a relative or friend of yours got dementia (as many of us will) and they started repeating the same question over and over again (as sufferers do), would you rudely say that you'd already told them and then say "How many times do you need to be told?"
If they explained that the reason for this was that they had dementia, would you accuse them of 'playing a disability card?
Would you then refer to their attempts to communicate and live a normal life as possible as an 'incessant need to talk gibberish'?
My disability affects all parts of my life as it affects my thought processes and I don't believe that I do badly in communicating, all things considered. I have asked the facilitators here and they agree. They also agree that you should withdraw and apologise for your inappropriate remarks, so i'm giving you an opportunity to do this now.
Rather than continuing to make personal attacks it would be much more productive if you set out what you disagree with, why you disagree with it and offered any alternatives of your own to deal with the matter in hand.
Admin have previously asked for people to stick to the subject under discussion as opposed to attacking other individuals, but you have clearly chosen to ignore this.
