I’m being called horrible. And I don’t know what I did, or what’s going on, or even who it is that’s calling me horrible. But at least I’m being included. ---

> [@jaymac1](#): > > I’m fucking sickened with the way you’re all treating me when I’ve just come onto the forums. OK I’ve been reading the forums for a lot longer than I said (about 18 months) so I know about Umkay already but I did nae say because I thought I may get a bad reception asking an admitadly similar thing. I haven’t even fully accepted my disability yet and you all make me feel like nothing. I just wanted to ask a very fair question. I’m not Umkay, I’m not even in thee same country. Surely there must be a way to check IP addresses? Your all a bunch of c\*nts and I don’t want to be on this shitty forum anymore. Goodbye. “thee same country”? Honey, you’re not even in “thee same century”. Did you learn your Scottish accent from Brigadoon, or Shrek? ---

**jaymac1** , I’ve got no dog in this fight and have no assumptions as to who you are or are not. As an impartial observer, I suggest you look over your own posts for horrible quotient: you got some very calm and informative replies, yet you escalated things with liberal use of “angry smilies” and “c\*nt” language. Doing so does not help your case ([see Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene II](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_lady_doth_protest_too_much,_methinks)). I have no doubt that if you play nice and be mindful of the real-life circumstantial history the board has had with the subject, you will get fair replies. [pit] That is, providing you’re not an incurable c\*nt. [/pit] ---

[Moderating] The word “c\*nt” is not an effective way of circumventing the Pit’s language rules. Knock it off. [/Moderating] ---
