So you really do think it's OK to use that word as an insult. Shameful stuff. You should be embarrassed with yourself.
I apologise for using a contraction of the word thalidomide.
Should have said ‘I apologise wholeheartedly and with a heavy degree of embarrassment for calling Freedweed a phlid. I acknowledge that thalidomide sufferers lead very difficult lives. Much more difficult than I could ever imagine. And the usage of that word - jokingly or not - only lessens the seriousness with which people understand the condition.
Now could we possibly deal with some of the other nasty stuff that’s been posted on thos thread lately?
