Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I heard an interesting discussion about how free speech should be on Radio 4 earlier:

This wasn't created as a 'disability thread' as someone assumed earlier.
You're quite right in that there are lots of positive examples of how people cope with disability, but this thread was created with the intention of discussing how the authorities intend to deal with online trolling/bullying/harassment etc towards people of any kind, much if which is based on race, mental or physical disability, gender, sexuality etc.

But you are the disability champion so everything you post ends up being about disability.

I know that people who have been burgled, had their car stolen, have been robbed and/or beaten up in the street or are in an area plagued by feral youths and drug addicts won't agree, but what exactly do you expect for the money?

To clarify - it appears that no matter what the posting topic, you will eventually raise disability as part of the conversation.
This may not be intentional, but it is seen as inevitable.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
Come on, cut the guy some slack.
He has his own business, has an extensive and probably profitable shares/investments portfolio, and the ear of some of the top CEO's in business.
Don't let jealousy influence your judgement

Are you trying to run rings around me because you know that I have cognitive issues? It's certainly beginning to look that way. People with learning disabilities, mental health disabilities, mental health problems etc need clear, concise and uncluttered messages, not arsey comments or backbiting private messages circulated about them.

Thanks for explaining what was meant Hugh. The subject of those in (or not in) the protected groups being trolled online is the salient subject of this thread. The protected group that i'm in is that related to disability as that is the one that I have direct experience of, so it's inevitable that I'll be able to relate to that more than any of the others, even though I do endeavour to understand and support others.
The unpleasant way that I'm treated and spoken to by a small group of other people must be related to disabilith discrimination as that's the only thing that separates me apart from other members.
These days it's socially unacceptable to be directly racist, ableist, homophobic etc also, people tend to incorrectly think that they can skirt round the law by being unpleasant or downright nasty to those in the protected groups, so long as their disability/race/gender etc is not directly mentioned.
I can't remember which thread it was, but as an example one individual recently tried the age old 'nobody likes you' routine. It really was schoolboy stuff designed to alienate, isolate and upset.

I just think you're a tool.
And just to clarify that for you, that has nothing to do with your disability.

The only cognitive issues you appear to have are those seemingly bordering on the sociopathic. I use that term carefully having been recently accused of it myself.
You do not, ever, come across on here as being cognitively challenged, in fact quite the opposite. You come across as being highly intelligent, manipulative, and totally in control.
