Have you ever thought it's because we are sick of the way you act? Holier than thou attitude. You've caused numerous problems on here plus having a go at foreign VM staff in your rants on the 100 phone calls you seem for some reason have to make to VM. Some people are calling you out for your quite ironic posting in this topic when you yourself have done what you are fighting against.
Part of me thinks and will always think most of what you post on here with your direct lines to VM and 1001 discounts you have are all just fairy tales but sadly, there are people out there like that.
If you want to take the fight to 'them' (them being who ever you want to go after this week) then you really need to be whiter than white when doing it.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
You can't even come up with anything new these days, you just go on repeating the same nonsense whenever you get the opportunity.
Have you anything you wish to contribute about the online safety bill as I am not the subject of this thread?

You see I am classed as disabled I have age related macular degeneration in one eye, I am deaf in both ears that requires me to use hearing aids to carry on a conversation. To top that I found out 19 weeks ago I have bladder cancer and will be having an OP on Monday to remove the tumour. Now I have never used my disability in any of my posts on this forum and was never going to. The fact is that there are those who use their disability as a badge of honor or to try and bend a conversation to there way of thinking. I do not care what other think of my disability and I certainly do not get wound up by any comments. I do not need others to be offended on my behalf or to spend money on a system that is doomed to fail. My outlook on life is to make the most of what I have and ignore the ignorant.
Rant over

All the best with the op

I have, I think it's ironic you have such a voice on the issue when you yourself dish out the stuff you do. Any comment to that?
How do you think it would affect you considering the above as you'll fall foul of the new laws.
Edit to add to be more on topic.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I am presuming (more in hope than expectation) that the Online Safety Bill when passed will target EVERYONE who offends against its provisions, including those with disabilities.
We cannot continue to permit those who feel entitled to ride roughshod over the rest of us.

Another vote for the “not nonsense at all” option.
On numerous occasions you’ve presumed to know anything about my condition and how it affects me. There are a handful of CF members who have met me in real life and a few others I have on my Facebook and therefore I chat to quite often. None, and I repeat NONE of them would agree with your “assessments” of how things affect me, and they know more about me than you will in a lifetime.
I’m not offended by any of your “views”, you’re not relevant enough to cause me any offence.
In part I almost pity you for how anything you consider is an “attack” on you is because of your “disability”.
A tip for ya pal - it’s more about your self-imposed sense of superiority and knowledge, as well as you seeing fit to be offensive on here (due to your “disability” of course) yet crying out “oh infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me!!” if anything is said in return.
It’s not just here you do it. I have a longtime mate on the admin team on Digital Spy and believe me you have a similar rep there.
Sorry to be the one to bring all this to your attention (soz not soz) but there you go. What started off as what could have been a legitimate and interesting forum thread is constantly hijacked by the same person spouting the same brown-stuff and it’s been going around in circles for years.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I can only refer to what Richard posts on here. He has a sense of superiority and appears to know about everyone's disability except his own. If he dislikes VM so much why did he stay with them so long especially as he had "contacts in higher positions" in the company?
All sounds like B/S to me.
I await his solicitors letter for this post.

I totally agree with most of what you say.
Many years ago, however, I was severely bullied from the minute I happened to mention that I had a disability (this was independently verified).
Since then most of the perpetrators have become bored of it, been banned, seen the error of their ways or it transpired that they had a disability of their own that gave rise to their behaviour.
Hopefully now that you have 'come out' as disabled, attitudes have changed and you or anyone else won't face what I did many years ago. There is now less than a handful who crawl out of the woodwork every now and again and egg each other on, the majority of people are fine.
On this occasion it's saved me a job as we were each asked to produce five examples of online disability harrassment for our next zoom meeting.
In the past a lot of people took the 'ignore the ignorant' outlook, but these days people simply won't put up with it and why should they?

Patronising post of the day and don't blame it on your disability as you know exactly what you're doing.

Of course it will apply to everyone, though reasonable adjustments will have to be made, for example, for those with learning difficulties like Aspergers etc as they have problems with poor social skills which may mean that they fall foul of the legislation.
There was an interesting discussion about what would be the best approach for people in this situation a while back in the thread.

You’ve just made my point. People with disabilities will get away with all sorts of outbursts and insults and the rest of us have no voice.
Perhaps we should all identify as people with Tourette’s and everything will be back to normal.
Do you not see yet how ridiculous all of this is?

Honestly it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. You really do need to research things when you insist on cultivating an “educated” online persona.
Aspergers is NOT a learning disability or difficulty.
