Twice now you've called me that - I do get cross when people are both aggressive and ignorant. It's easy to 
check me out. Type in Disability Freeware into Google, and find me there. If you still believe I am a sock, then I 
am afraid you'll just have to get on with it and I'll reply to you no more. I've been reading your posts on this 
newsgroup, and I understand you are like this to most here.

Retarded, foul mouthed sock-puppet? 
I would appreciate it if you retract that statement immediately and apologise to me personally. I am physically 
disabled, not mentally, and use my time to learn and qualify. You have upset me immensely. You are a cad 
and a bounder, Sir. :-)

> Sorry? I come from the UK.

Then Sir, you should know better.

May I refer you to the post further up this thread from Moshe where he says [quote]:
"Tony I am truly sorry for using a term like that and I sincerely apologize (US spelling)
because it's just not a civil thing to say".

Are you saying I am threatening you? No, I'm no tough guy. I will chat to anyone who is civil and polite to me 
and try to respond in a civil and polite way unless provoked.

I was actually referring to you shutting this thread about the subject of disability as, unless you are disabled 
yourself, you will not be qualified to voice an opinion. It was my way of speaking, which you have taken 
completely the wrong way and for that I apologise for any misunderstanding that has arisen.

I will try to contribute here, as I use and promote Linux here in the UK, especially for disabled computer users.  
I am sick and tired of the fact that disabled Windows users have to pay vast amounts of money for accessibility 
tools. There is one Freeware on-screen keyboard for Windows - almost all the other specialist programmes 
are now priced way out of disabled users reach. I find that tools built into Linux help me immensely, and are 
free. My goal is to persuade Canonical or others to release a distribution for the visually impaired and loss of 
mobility function in hands or other cognitive problems.

Instead of hatred, why don't you help? It doesn't cost anything, and may give you a warm and cosy feeling 
inside.

Tony (UK)
