The Long Awaited Accounts....

Yeh like being called chicken.

Not really comparing like with like there.

I guess that depends on your perspective.

I guess it does. One perspective being that of a decent human being. The other being ignorant and discriminatory.

Alright - You've said your piece.

Perhaps the comment was ill judged and I apologise if anyone was offended.  It was not my intention to offend anyone.  However PWS is a moderator on here yet continually trolls threads looking for petty squabbles over the most pedantic of points.  Perhaps he too should look in the mirror.

As for being a decent human being - You don't know me from Adam, nor do you know about any of the voluntary work that I am involved in, so I would thank you for keeping your kangaroo court comments to yourself.

Well said.

I note you supported the comment and saw nothing wrong in it.

Brassneck at least realised the effect his post may have had. So perhaps we agree. Well said indeed. Just leaves you on your own then.

My daughter has been working with Severely handicapped kids and she has taken me a long and introduced me to some in her care.
I have nothing but absolute respect for people in that area of work.
I would have thought that you would be a bit more sensitive about throwing insults around.
I took his comment was about the film, not an attack on people dealing with autism.
If you want to believe something different that’s up to you.

Wow.

I suggest you follow the links below.

Some Court advice from the States

Some Government advice from this side of the pond.

I'm a bit confused about your view on the comment being about the film, not an attack on people 'dealing with' autism (who exactly is 'dealing with autism' anyway?) Autism is an inherent part of the story as the main character of the story has a diagnosis. There have been numerous discussions since the film was released arguing whether it helped awareness or created a myth with regards to people's ability.

Needless to say, I'd suggest doing some reading up. And no, that's not me being patronising, but trying to help you understand why your comments and use of language could be perceived as being highly discriminatory, when you clearly don't see it.

Wow

[Drummond]

Wow

My pleasure, clearly an eye-opener. Happy to help.

yeah, that's just fowl.

No need to stick your beak in.

[brian green]

No.   Pullet back.

[Damo70]

Clucking hell.

[Dante Lavelli]

Fucking hell, get a life people*.  No one ‘wins’ when every comment is point scoring for/against a fellow poster rather than the topic. 

*I’m drunk so am allowed to be outspoken (unless anyone threatens to ban me, in which case I apologies in advance).

[Dante Lavelli]

Phew I’m genuinely pleased the puns are back.

[Rodders]

Really? I'm afraid I find them utterly unpulletable.

I hope you feel OK this morning. 😁

Agree with that.

I think it was fairly obvious.

I too work with people who are autistic. I see nothing wrong with using the example of Rain Man for his mathematical ability. Am I missing something?

I'm missing VillaDawg and the Spurs wage bill having read all this.
