Fintan

Hi Fintan,

As you may have noticed in a post I made elsewhere recently, I share your view on discrimination against disabilities. As Admin, I take responsibility for not picking up on that part of the above post, as I had clearly read it prior to responding.

On behalf of the site, let me apologise for any offense caused. I have ensured the original post is edited.

Also, can I ask once again that EVERYONE reads and understands the Announcement at the top of this Forum HERE regarding thought before posting.


Thanks

 

Private mail sent as apology:

Mail content;

I read your reply to my post, and firstly wish to say
if it did offend you in any way- wasn't meant too.

but I also wish to add that the "joke" which is what it
was, had previously been forwarded to me by a very
good friend, who having battled with cancer over the
past three years has been left partially sighted and
almost deaf,

and too date has achieved more than I
ever will, even with having all my faculties.....

One of his main views in life are that you take what
you have and make the best of it, and in doing so
be happy with what you have, and I do know from
experience that he gets really offended by people
opening doors for him, trying to sign to him, or going
out of there way to help him.

Being a friend to someone so positive with life and seeing
the day to day troubles he has from so called
"able-bodied" people trying to look out for them, classing
them in less to do formats, really annoys me when "normal" people try looking out for them.

Please I am in no way trying to say they aren't normal,
having worked with them for years, they are more normal
than any of us. they have a better way of thinking, they're 100% stronger than me, and have a better outlook on life.

Why, because they've usually had to fight for everything
for everything they have - bloody hard....

I have no problem you copying and posting this private mail within the thread, but please accept a very deep
sorry to you if I offended you in any way shape or form.

This was not the intention, and if read properly was a
light-hearted look at how we percieve things-thats all

Best wishes Callum

 

Sorry to the site, I should have checked the wording properly
and edited it myself before posting.

Sorry for any offence caused by my actions.

 

Yes i have read that post about you share my view on discrimination

I am not offended takes a lot more to be offended and postings like these are not on my offended list

My big gripe is in work places and i can think of worse cases but i wont bother telling you all on here as i don't want to moan to much

anway i will be still here on these forums

Fintan

 

Thanks for your response, Fintan

 

Hi Fintan

As an employer myself as well as an employee, I'm inclined to
agree with you on that point.

I try to take people at face value regardless of anything else,
I just wish a lot of others would do the same.

Sorry if that post hit a raw note, it was not intended for that
purpose, Just happy you'll be sticking around, and hopefully
for a long time...... cheers Callum

 

Don't worry callum i am not offended
i have seen email jokes like these but the word normal keeps cropping up
which makes me question people sorry cant help that one
but you know as well as i do that people with disabilties take the piss out of our selves as well as take the piss out of able people
there is a name for non disablities but i can't think right now

anyway thank for the private email

Fintan

 

I know where your coming from there bud, my mate has me
in stitches at times, taking the p**s out of me, I keep on
telling him i'm going to poke him one in his good eye one day
then laugh at him walking into stuff.

mmm, one DAY!!! LOL

BEST WISHES BUD.
