I am aware I will be criticized for being honest but I feel there is a great
deal of hypocrisy going on, I feel is the wrong for fashion, political
correctness and personal guilt, yes I said it, to be used to justify a
single member to use the group for their personal agenda.
Having any label does not excuse a person from their responsibilities to
respect other people and conduct themselves appropriately within the
boundaries of a diverse society. Just because I use a helmet and a bib at
mealtimes, I am not excused from the social norms of society as a
entrepreneur
Yet, fashion argues that people who label themselves in a specific way are
excused from social norms and as they are perceived as above being
challenged, are praised in a manner where others would be dealt with.
I feel this group once again needs to decide if it is about disability
research which seems never to represent the every day experiences of
disabled people, or simply a mouthpiece for a specific viewpoint?

Dear Jeremy
One can simply ask the list about how to block or redirect mail
without having to name people on the list - that in my view is where
the bad etiquette lies
Sincerely
