Y'all are talking about one individual person, right? Ah hell, let's lump all "disabled people" together. "They" are "all the same" right?

'Those people' refers to the people I represent; the echoes, refer to this thread: the attitudes displayed to Mari's condition; the legions of armchair neurologists/psychiatrists/fraud detectors; the experiences brought to the debate by several other posters; and finally, the experiences I had during a prolonged illness in my childhood, teenage years and early twenties, which I started to post about and then decided to erase and start again, because a significant proportion of the people posting here cannot be trusted with details of such a personal experience.

DanaC · 12-06-2006, 06:13 PM

What the hell? I was looking for a real answer Dana. Who here gets picked on for anything other than the bullshit they post?

DanaC · 12-06-2006, 06:18 PM

I'm all out of answers Jinx, I have plenty of questions, but frankly I'd rather not know the answers to them.

JayMcGee · 12-06-2006, 06:19 PM
