Being provocative will get you no brownie points. I thought you had learned that from your past experiences on here.

I agree, it's a very fine line indeed M, I disagree that the only folk who can make humour out of comedy envolvong disabilities (or "poke fun at") is those that are disabled or "less able" (even if they are understandably more in tune with the subject.)
I knew this was going to be a touchy subject for most folk, but i still (wrongly by the looks of it) thought it worthy of being kicked around a bit on here. I wasn't after brownie/friendship points,likes,karma etc (you should all know that by now).
Seems I've still a lot to learn M
