    I'm dyslexic and don't care one iota about your pathetic little digs,

    Couldn't I just have known that this was coming? There are no longer any poor spellers, it is always dyslexia. Still anyone can be anything they like on an internet forum.

    Myself my brother and my mother are all dyslexic we swap letters around in words we know how to spell and also can't handle basic calculations mentaly despite being excellent at maths on paper. I was statmented all through school and helped with my dyslexia along side my visual imparement also but still I despite the use of PC browser spell checkers and when on iPhone it has a helpfull sort of predictive text also I still will end up with mistakes slipping through the cracks as I have never been good at recalling some basic things such as when a word has a double or whether an ou word has an e at the end or not. I have to think twice and often ask when I write my own middle name because for some reason I can never feel certain of wether it has an s a z in it.

    Still people can be as horid and rude as they like on the internet it's not the real work so it doesn't count right?

    Anybody else want to insult or belittle or be rude to anybody now, or acuse them of lying about something based on knowing nothing about the person? Or can we give it a rest now?

    Why do people feel the need to belittle each other?

    I'm disappointed by how many of you can say such hurtful things to one another, I hope this thread gets closed down soon.

    because the benefit/disabled bashers like to belittle people,if you are either you are not allowed to have a voice

    But everyone is being so nasty.

    I so rarely post on the forums because of this reason, but I can't stand by and watch people hurt each other and not say anything. :(

    Who are you referring to? As I said earlier,most people on here are themselves disabled or care for others who are.

    i am referring to the benefit/disabled bashers on here,not the disabled/carers and belive me they know who they are,they nitpick and belittle anyone who is disabled on benefits who dare to have a life or a voice

    But the people you describe as benefit bashers are the same people who are disabled/carers in nearly all cases.

    This isn't a fight between people with disabilities and those without but a difference of opinion as to how disabilities affect people's attitudes to work and daily life.

    Life is not all black and white and not everybody with a disability thinks that this should be an excuse to believe that the rest of society owes us a living!
