I was merely interested in going back to your initial response of that
language was not important. Since you and others are criticizing anyone
who advocates the term disabled people within the social term as
promoting oppressive and condemn the disabled movements requirements as
an often unpaid rarely paid profession which is often abused by other
so-called professions as cheap labour.
What on earth is this stereo-typing? Explain what kind of social model
you teach then and why you think I have a problem with you?
I am discussing generalities. If the hat doesn't fit, don't wear it.
Many Thanks, Simon

I can see that this conversation is going no where. I will simply state
that you are presuming to judge me, as a person, based on virtually no
knowledge of me. In my view, this is gross stereotyping and
objectification. Perhaps (he said charitably) this was your point: a
tongue-in-cheek sample of what you say disabled people get every
day?????
