Anti-social behaviour in ED - WARNING: Don't read this if you have no sense of humour


Recommended Posts

You're mixing up two different threads. It's fine to discuss and disagree with Cella's original post - the forum is, of course, a great place for debate. It is a different matter entirely to start another thread which mocks her.

I quite like this thread. Initially a person expresses outrage at a person's behaviour in the physical world. LD then expresses outrage, in the form of a parody, at the defilement of a public internet forum with what she considers a triviality. So, we have ever decreasing circles of outrage rippling from the real world to the internet. And then I post. And like all of my recent posts, my words fall into the void and the thread no doubt ends.


I miss the aeroplane thread for its I'm outraged that your outraged circularity. They were a bit noisy this morning. Can someone bring it back?

Nothing to do with not having a sense of humour but how on earth do any of you think this thread is actually amusing? I could understand if you were of an age, say somewhere in the range of 6-9 years of age, where snot, mud, worms and dirt are highly amusing but I though ED and in particular the EDF had a little more class than those currently being displayed.


Disappointed? yes

Disgusted? Most definately

Surprised? No not really. I do recall a forum event some years ago where a similar sort of thing arose amongst the "regulars". Sad

If I'm thinking of the same occassion KB is, to which I feel ashamed for inviting KB along - still working on his forgiveness! - (don't think you were there SJ) it certainly wasn't particularly pleasant. Although, of course that could just be my opinion on what is/should be socially acceptable in a public place and I could be out dated on such things! ;-)

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
