Jealousy of Motability car

Indie_Kid

Tbf, you have been rather rude.

There is a way of questioning without being rude and judgmental about it.

System

Could it be because, regardless of what I write, even bland statements of fact, certain people take it as an attack on disabled people and retaliate accordingly?

Yes I shouted because people were not 'listening' to what I wrote but interpreting things to fit their agenda. It was borne out frustration.

And as for judgemental then pot kettle black springs immediately to mind

Why are you actually on this forum?

System

Why? Aren't I allowed to be? Do I have to be disabled or 100% pro to be here or can I have an opinion.

I am on because I have opinions on a range of subjects and am free to make those opinions, whether you like it or not, known unless you know of some rule or legislation that debars me.

The fact that you question my purpose on here says to me that you would rather this be a cosy appreciation society rather than somewhere where people can have opinions contrary to yourself on disabled matters.

There appears to be a culture on the MSE forums that disability is a sacred cow and anything to do with it must not be questioned otherwise the cabal will descend on you with a vengeance. I am one of those people who WILL question some of the things to do with disability so live with it.

I expect your posts have been reported. Many people on here cannot differentiate between disagreement (still allowed I believe) and abuse.

System

No, many people class disagreement as abuse because it suits them.

If they have been reported and the abuse staff take any action then it says more about the attitude of the MSE staff and the petty mindedness of other posters than anything else. Maybe being PPR'd would be a good thing as it clearly shows that MSE has descended into a place that bows to others pressure and maybe not the place for somebody who is still capable of independent thought and opinions

As I said before, it's because you coming across as rude.

Shouting at me makes you come across as aggressive.

I would love to be able to lease a mid range car for £240 per month with tax and insurance thrown in.

The jealously is the effective low monthly cost compared to any other leasing deal available to the general public

But they have said the terms of the scheme favours the disabled, and not the abled bodied. Er, sorry, I thought that was the rationale behind it.

I think we all understand that you aren't happy that the disabled are given benefits that you wish you could access as well.

As Sandra says - you only get the benefits if you are disabled because of your disabilities.

Do you think disabled people shouldn't be given benefits?

"I have opinions on a range of subjects", yes sadly 6545 of them!

Does this make you a contrary procrastinator or just a bored old t...

It seems to me that you're a very jealous person!! I have no idea how anyone can be jealous of disabled people...
