    Of course you are right. I am being accused of INVENTING a disabled husband on that thread now so i will just ignore it. However its a damn good example of how disability discrimination is not seen to be as important as racial or sexual discrimination. If their abuse and bullying was sexist or racially related, the moderators would have been all over it. They dont seem to understand that a disabled person without water can cause problems which are MEDICALLY related. Its worth knowing that 1 in 3 people will be touched by cancer or illness or disability at some point in their lifetime so 1 in 3 poeple from the disability hate brigade will be touched by it.

    dark lady, I am sorry you are being trolled/harrassed, but these forums are not moderated. That is one thing that is quoted quite a bit. These forums have Board Guides, but they are not moderators.

    f'ken h3ll i'm being accused of being a cyber bully? And i'm also being accused of being a "sicko" who phones up sex lines?

    I've never phoned a sex line in my life and no one that knew me would accuse me of being a bully or a sicko.

    i would suggest anyone reading this looks at the thread in question "we have no water" and decides for themselves if these allegations are true.

    Whilst some of the comments on your thread may have been a tad close to the knuckle, I don't see where there was any discrimination, and I certainly did not see any disability hate. I think you need to take a step back and get some perspective.
    Gone ... or have I?

    No one has accused you of inventing a disabled husband. Any yes, I have read the whole thread, and the whole of this one too.

    several people on that thread mentioned that some people "wheel out a disabled relative" at their convenience. Some posts since then have been deleted.

    That is not discriminatory, it is an observation.

    I take it you are not leaving anymore, as you are still here? :confused:

  • I've read all the threads - all 4 of them now. We get that your not happy with the responses you got, is there really a need for 4 seperate threads about the same topic?

    You have also posted a thread accusing some posters on here of being sexist because you have chosen a feminine board name?
    I am a female and TBH I find your claims (backed up by Glam Magazine , what ever the heck that is) an insult to the women who post on here.You are doing us no favours.
    Ed Investor was a lady .. I didn't know at the time but her advice to me when I needed it was fantastic couldn't give a ***** at the time what gendre she belonged to
    In my experience people reply because an opinion has been requested not based on the fact that someone has a girlie name and I would be horrified to think male posters on here were too scared to give an honest reply to a question for fear the OP might be a woman and burst into tears
    If anyone is suffering from ISM problems it is you
    I am now waiting for you to throw in you are from an Ethnic minority.

    i agree with the OP here. I really dont think this site is for me. I started a thread on the praise vent and warnings board last night called "we have no water" just venting about the fact that we completely lost our water supply and eventually our electric too. all supplies are restored now but i have been bullied by some people on that thread. One of them is called darkpool and he is still doing it now. He is also deliberately taking what i posted on another thread "toys R us no bags policy" and deliberately using it out of context(the daily mail would be extremely proud of him if he was one of their journalists)so i know where you are coming from OP I want out too. I am thinking of contacting Woman magazine about this because Martin Lewis does the occasional column for them and i think they need to be made aware of what is going on on his website assuming they dont already know. There are other websites i and other ladies could post on instead such as ivillage.co.uk which i used to belong to or damsels and loads of others. What a shame that this country has come to this. It seems to have lost all its compassion.

    bullying I mean (or attempted). Every time I posted something someone tried to shoot me down in flames or take issue with it. Great if there's a valid reason, but more than few here are just looking for trouble.

    Dark lady - they're just sad, lonely idiots with no life to call their own. Don't pay any attention to them. Pity them.
