    Not sure what to think about this one, BB obviously wanted to stir things up a little, what with his name and knowing people would say things like which have been said to him. If he is disabled, he was laying the foundation to at one point stand up and say "But I am disabled" so yah boo to you, you horrible people..
    Is that not a form of trolling?

    Or am I just a nasty piece of work? Answers on a postcard please.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I'm disabled :-(.

    because I dont (actually cant work) does that make me less of a person ?
    What sort of disabled?
    That's not an excuse.
    Lots of disabled people work.

    You'd have to substantiate that with far more detail for it to be taken as a reason here.

    BB does appear to be able to study at an advanced level. Could be completely innocent, but I am also interested as to what condition can let someone study to such a level, yet render them unable to do any type of work (a PhD utilises many of the skills that a person would use in employment).
    Gone ... or have I?
