More people with brain injuries than I thought.

I'm sorry if you feel upset, it wasn't my intention to upset nor was it to provoke you either.

Just accept that there's no malice towards you on my part.

I think I better not respond or go further as you could falsely imply or use it against me in some way. (Then where would it end)?

I hope that helps you.

Or some people easily upset or offended by anything could just grow a thicker skin and just brush it off. Not everything said is a hate crime or discrimination.

Agreed!There comes a time when you have to realise that you cannot legislate for every human vice,emotion etc,etc. Perhaps if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen.If you can't interact with people without shouting foul at every comment you don't agree with as a means of winning every argument then discussion becomes meaningless.

It is for some and then they wonder why they're called unpleasant

The law is clear in that if someone gets upset by your comments, then they must stop. It matters not if they were genuinely not meant to be offensive.

I don't know anyone who does that, I certainly don't.

I hope that you're not suggesting that people in the protected groups should withdraw from society unless they allow people to make innapropriate remarks about/to them.

I refer you to my responses to Stephen.& Maggy.

To clarify, are you saying that you believe that I am 'unpleasant'? If so, please state your reasons why you are being so insulting

You need to be more clear about what that means. Neuro diverse people don't understand hints, riddles etc.

Maybe you're waiting for a response in black and white so you can take some kind of legal action. I certainly don't trust you. And you're not going to get that kind of response from me.

protected, like Pandas and such I'm suggesting that people don't take everything as an insult or discriminatory remark. It's sometimes just banter and some people take thing too seriously.

Though as you mentioned earlier about people advising other of brain injuries etc that just not always possible especially with dementia as in all likely hood they won't actually be aware or remember that. I've known many families members having had it and they certainly couldn't tell anyone. None of them were shouting or aggressive. However my mum in her early stages would always pass remarks and comments about people when out. I never got embarrassed or felt I had to apologise orinform them that she was unwell. It is what it is.

The only thing I'll clarify for you is a long while ago you asked me to put you on ignore and in that time you've replied to my posts repeatedly without response, I'm not interested in interacting with you in anyway, answering your inane questions, clarifying anything for you or to put it more succinctly having anything to do with you full stop and if you infer from that it's because I find you deeply unpleasant then that's your lookout

I wonder how many versions of this thread we've had over the years? They seem to keep popping up with depressing regularity.

The reasons why I need a clear response were clearly explained to you. I suspect that you are now deliberately trying to confuse me and are being deliberately unhelpful.

You keep saying you'll stop responding to my posts, yet continue to do so. Why is that?

You are correct about those with dementia, but the fact that there is
something wrong soon becomes apparent. Not all people with dementia shout/swear as it depends upon the type/severity etc.

Attention from you, direct or indirect, is not welcome as it upsets me.

Let's have a list then.

Getting back on topic and away from individuals, I can't understand why I was so surprised to learn that 1 in 12 were affected by a brain injury.

When you think about it people get into physical fights, have car accidents, trip and fall, fall down stairs etc, so it's no wonder that it's so high.

Of course, people can also get a brain injury from things such as a lack of oxygen

And I've made myself clear too. For all I know, as I said in my post is that you want something in black and white to make a claim. That's what you do isn't it? Isn't that why you continuously state laws etcs as in threats. Now see why people consider you as a liability and unpleasant as well as for other reasons stated.

So for my last time, understand that multiple people here have stated that you're unpleasant so please accept and let that sink in. Ask your facilitator if you don't understand. Then maybe you can change your ways to be more acceptable. Win win don't you think....

Please don't quote anymore from here on in as I really don't give a .....
