Sadly, there's been more than one case of that on here.

It isn't just Cable Forum members or non disabled people that troll though.

There's a programme with a disability slant on Channel 4 called 'The Last Leg'.

One of the disabled side presenters has been trolling folk who criticise him in any way. The abuse has included swearing, rudeness and personal insults about people's appearance (a tad dissapointing coming from someone born with missing and deformed limbs).

Anybody who complained was subject to extremely big headed, arrogant and vile remarks. I can only assume that it's something to do with the 'oppressed oppress' syndrome.

Afterwards, the remarks were withdrawn- so he's a coward as well as an internet bully.

Russ has said that someone has been doing something similar on here with the comments field on the reputation system- another reason why I have it switched off.

It's a funny old world.

Hospital - infarction - legs......

Wonder what's next.

Right now I still feel like popping to pound land to get a junior hacksaw and deal with it myself.

Sorry to hear about your ongoing health problems dilli and l just hope things improve soon for you.

dilli-theclaw · 10-09-2015, 17:53

Cheers. Somehow I don't see things getting better any time soon. Still I know it could be worse and all that.

l know how hard it can be sometimes dilli but l thinks its important to try to see things in a positive light even when things don't look that way sometimes.

I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was my boss with a torch bringing me more work.

Skype.
For some reason or other ("security") they have blocked my account so I can't use it.
The account unblocking process is ridiculous. Questions range from the reasonable "what credit card did you last use to purchase credit?" & "list 3 contacts" to the ridiculous "what month and year did you first use skype?" and what email address did you use when you originally signed up?"

So far they are refusing to unblock my account and are suggesting that I sign up again.........I'm thinking so that they can simply block my access and purchased credit again?!

Ramrod have a look here it may just help (If the link doesn't work you'll know what to look for).

You go looking on YouTube for instructions or directions on how to do or achieve something which in theory should only take about 20 or 30 seconds of explaining yet all you can find are clips of about 5 or 6 minutes long where someone has decided they're a professional presenter and spend 90% of the clip explaining what the problem is that you're trying to solve, what alternatives you could try, why it's done this way and what else you can do as well.

Ok I get that some people may have no idea what they're doing and appreciate the extra pointers but if the task you're trying to research is fairly technical then perhaps someone who needs all the fluffy extra garnishing of information might ought to avoid trying it in the first place.

At the very least these self-appointed YouTube 'broadcasters' could offer a link to a direct, stripped-down and straight-to-the-point alternative, or even something in the title that tells you at which time frame the actual instructions begin.

Kitchen seems to be infested with thunder/fruit/fungus flies. Don't know which but they're getting in everything.

Put the UV zap killing lamp on, hope that'll take care of them.

Life. It sucks.

**Hugh** · 16-09-2015, 20:56

But consider the alternative.....

Seriously, though, I hope things get better for you, Mark.

Try to keep your chin up Mark as remember life has a habit of turning round very quickly and surprising us at our lowest ebb.

Don't forget the jump cuts! Look here I am, now I am over here!, now I am close to the camera, now I am further away, oh my do you see, how my constant cuts, are helping create, the illusion, of, movement? I am a super YouTube personality.
