There was once someone on here who kept getting berated for his spelling mistakes. He couldn't help it because he was dyslexic and had to keep on telling people this time and time again.
Would you say that he was using his condition to 'get off' with making spelling mistakes? Would you say that the repeated remarks about spelling mistakes, despite people being made aware of his dyslexia, was discrimination?

I think what Stephen is trying to say is there are some Really Challenging members on here who make ignorant or egregious comments but when they get pulled up for what they said, they claim it's all part of some apparent 'disability' and to take action against would therefore be 'discrimination'.
