Charities: Govt rhetoric on welfare leading to inciting attacks on disabled people..

Permanent.
Fair enough. He's been accusing you and others of lying all day, about deeply unpleasant events - without ever having the bottle to come straight out with it (or maybe, even worse, knowing you weren't lying but still playing games). Doubt you've banned him just for that though - as you say there was previous. But yes, back to the thread.
 
Attitudes like this make me deeply unhappy. It's not about differing viewpoints - one of the things I like about urban is the debate - it's the complete and utter refusal to believe that this is happening, despite a (sadly) growing body of evidence to the contrary.

Whatever people choose the believe, a sad fact is disability hate-crime IS increasing, and who knows how much goes unreported.
 
I think it's people with learning disabilities at the most risk. One of the reasons I really like my local pub is the genuine welcome people with learning disabilities get, and woe betide anyone who gives them any kind of hassle. The regulars and bar staff won't tolerate it.
 
Actually his keyworker was a bit suspicious of the pub and came down to check he wasn't being exploited or hassled to buy drinks by the manipulative and was genuinely cheered by how much part of the pub he was and how looked out for, and now the keyworker drinks there too :)

That sounds just as it should be on both sides- I must check out the Albert :)
 
I wouldn't mind if he come out with an arguement to proof his point.mind it's not good when someone gets banned,but it was his own fault
 
We avoid banning where possible. I've seen boards where the ban hammer is swung for the slightest little thing and it doesn't make for good boards. On the whole I think we get it right. We try our best, anyway.
Nae arguements with that Mrs M. I know we sometimes wonder by a banning has been done when we don't know the full facts etc. but even as posters/members we can't see all things at all times any more than you mods can.

ETA. shame there isn't a way to ban asshats from specific threads until their asshatery gets them a permaban. Mebbe there is a xenforo addon for this though..

*should asshatery have two t's?*

Fear not, a choir of harrumphing colonel's will carry him to his rest!
 
Fine. I bow to your more valid opinion seeing as you're one of the spokemen for people with disabilities.

One of them? You know, I thought there was only supposed to be one. Dam All these individual spokes people with their "may or may not be true" experiences.:D

Seriously, you can't use that same line against more than one person per thread. It lacks... Credibility. And class. But hey.
