Society is conditioned to be sensitive about nonconformity - that way of thinking about disablity is defective too.

All that Argos needed to be told was that your Neighbour occasionally took in your mail against your wishes, not that you had a predjudiced attitude in the reasons this had happened. Many others without Brain Injury could equally do the same thing, so the reasons for stating that are just as irrelevent as describing his skin colour, his Brain injury might have nothing to do with it!
As i have asked previously, and you have skirted round the issue, would you called a Brain Injured person Mentally Defective to their face, if not then its not a term you should use in written communication either!
