An apology

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I wish to take this opportunity to apologise whole heartedly and inreservedly for some of the content on my previous thread, namely my use of the word 'nutters'.

This was ill thought and offensive and i deeply regret it's use. I wish to make it clear that i have nothing against anyone who suffers from disablility of any kind.

You can't apologise on behalf of others like me who read it wrong.

I get where your coming from, after you have collected all the pitch forks up can you send me one please. The earth is finally soft enough to use one.

I hope others share the same mature attitude as you have shown and not hold this against a long term, well respected contributor to these forums

Ok, lesson learned. Think before you use derogatory language towards people with mental health issues.

I wasn't offended, even though I am one of those "nutters" you refer to. It was your reasoning behind people who might need a disabled parking space that you are more ignorant of, in my opinion.

I think OP needs to be given 1000 lines ‘I must think before I use derogatory language towards people with mental health issues’. This way he’ll not forget. Naughty OP.

Before anyone gets tetchy I have experience of mental health issues with family so I know it’s a difficult condition to cope with

It’s a shame that you think it was only that one thing people were upset about, nor understand actually that even if it were just about the one word that whichever context the OP used that one word was still a slur.

But then again, I wouldn’t anticipate everyone to understand it.

It would be unfair to class them as ignorant morons and most probably have read the whole thread. People are entitled to be sensitive about certain words, and it is clear the amount of carers/parents of autistic people are on here. The OP has however apologised

Sorry but I’m not ignorant, I’ve lived and worked in the world of disabilities for over 20 years so I’m very aware of the difficulties faced by children and adults alike. The apology is ok for using that word. But the ignorance and downright ambivalence shown towards the most needy and vulnerable members of society I don’t forgive.

Me, I didn't need to. I was told he apologised for his choice of words, but, I take note of the first thing that comes out of a person's mouth; not how they apologise because they realised some people didn't like his choice of words.

I didn't need an apology to change my mind about him. It doesn't work that way with me.

I have offered a sincere apology, whether you choose to accept that or not makes little difference. I did not apologise just because some people did not like my choice of words but because information supplied in some of the responses showed that i was in error. You may wish to judge me harshly, it's your call and there's nothing i can do about it more than i've already done.

Your fingers tyoe what you would have said. I chose to read it how he wrote it. He may not have meant that he thinks people with mental health issues are nutters on the road. Calling someone a nutter who has mental health issues is a common thing.

I’ve done the same , more than once .

Most people do it and don’t give a shit , they just carry on as normal . After all you’ve only offended a few strangers on an Internet forum , and you’ll probably never see them in real life anyway .

What you said was no big deal in the grand scheme of things . I read it that the car users without mental issues were the nutters anyway .

But fair play to you for apologising to those who were offended . You can’t please all the people all the time , but you can do your best to please most of them some of the time . And some will never be pleased , other than when they are offended , and you’ve made them happy by giving them something to be offended by !

Oh I think people should calm down and take a chill pill, someone just made a rash comment on the internet!!

I have to admit my first thought was 'How bloody unjust if some able bodied bloke with a bit of depression gets a blue badge when someone of 90 who's mobility is compromised cannot......' but of course there are many complex issues involved and with any luck the blue badge giver-outers will remain as strict in their approval criteria as they are at present, and only the genuinely needy in ANY category will get them.

"It's a shame you felt the need to apologise to ignorant morons who didn't read the whole thread and have taken one word out of context.

Such tact and skill and use of language reveals more about yourself and nothing of the people you speak of.

Well you were in fast with the ready to be offended and condescension weren't you?

"Happens to us all from time to time you apologised all u can do now is move on kudos "

Will it change his way of thinking, regarding people who can walk using the 2 disabled parking spaces in his local high street?

(not a Devil's Advocate remark and said after his apology).

It also was someone else who wrote an explanation of what he might have meant, he just apologised for his choice of words.

If he-and others-can now see that disabilities aren't solely physical, it may have been a useful thread.

I made a mistake in my opening post and i hold my hands up to the fact.

I’ve done the same , more than once .

What you said was no big deal in the grand scheme of things . I read it that the car users without mental issues were the nutters anyway .

At last! An intelligent forumite who read and interpreted the OP of that thread in the same way I did, and the way the poster meant it.

We read it in exactly the same way as you. The phrase was unfortunate, but not intended maliciously. The Op was brassed off at perceiving yet another group who were pressuring the system to give them perks and knowing full well that "mental health problems" being the huge open field that it has now become there was every chance that everybody and his dog would be bidding for a blue badge.

Not that the thought police were even ready to consider that. They saw another chance to burn a prole and went for it. Depressing at times on here how you see the same old gang ups take place, with each one of them shouting out how they know someone even "worserer worserer or even worserest" affected then anybody else has quoted.

If only we could refer to people’s choices of language elsewhere on the site freely. Still, rules are rules.

Some people just read words without any thought of interpretation accounting for colloquialism or regional variation of meaning. A little bigoted, in my opinion, but they seem to enjoy beating their brows on behalf of the world.

Others just don’t get it at all. Nor understand what certain words mean.

Don't apologise to the snowflakes, nothing you say will ever be good enough. Every word you can think of that actually describes the world will be labelled as a way of enforcing white privilege and cisgendered hetronormative social constructs that belittle and harm minorities and marginalised groups.

I don't actually agree with what you said but it was little more than a poor choice of words. The PC police just jumped on the opportunity to virtue signal.

Of course the issue of mental illness is a complex one, this i am now more aware of. However, should a person suffering anxiety or bipolar disorder be able to claim a blue badge whem they're perfectly able bodied? I would think not.

Your goading of other forum users has been mentioned more than once, by different posters. It's a sign of passive/aggressive bullying. You might want to consider amending your behaviour

The badges aren't just for adults though, they are also for parents of children with disabilities. The thing is that something like a trip to the supermarket can be a very difficult thing for a parent of a severely autistic child, since noise and crowds can trigger bad emotions in them. So the alternative is that these people basically become confined to their houses. So i would support this change because i can see many ways that it will enable parents of child with disabilities to get out more.

It will be a nightmare to decide who gets them - I was listening to one news report saying there were people who eg might suffer from anxiety who would be put off going out because they did not think they would be able to park and so become more socially isolated etc, etc, in this case a family struggling with a child with issues....well yes, one can sympathise, but I doubt there are enough spaces to go round and sadly it must remain confined to the most severe and permanent cases I suspect.

Mind you, they have wide parent and child spaces at most supermarkets already. My brother and I wondered if we could get way using them with my 90 yr old father?

Ummm. I’d have a little look at your comment in this thread and the responses from a number of people, and stop projecting on me. I disagree with you, that’s allowed. I reply to your posts, that’s allowed. I’m sorry you take issue with it. Do you not think if I’m a passive aggressive bully then you are as equally guilty?

Good point, maybe supermarkets was a bad example. I'm just aware of how difficult something like a trip outside can be. So I'd like most measures that seek to ease this.
