I had people calling me a liar about her putting it on her profile so I am just showing that this is not what I am considering NICE and that I am not lying because there is no reason for me to do it.

Once again: I think you misunderstood what I meant. They are not the SAME thing at all. I know that and this is not what I meant.
What I meant was it's rude to act like Dsylexia is a"Disability"just like Down Syndrome. In no way that was meant as a comparison of them being the same. Apologies if you took it like this but it's not what I meant/said.

I have dyslexia, which is classified as a learning disability. And is how I refer to it as well. As mentioned above, what you wrote implies that I can't feed or clean myself. Others with similar disabilities would find offence in that too.

Wow !!
Just wow !!!!
So much to say, don't really feel free to though.
I do wonder in what context the comment was made, regardless of the validity of the statement, the environment is paramount.
@steph
I have a child in a special needs school, and another with a educational psychologist although they are physically able. I would get pissed off if somebody turned round and told me that his impediments are not a disability to him, just because somebody has it harder/different.

I know several dyslexic people who are gifted in music, maths, arts and so on. There is no need to label people on their personal traits, especially not here. If somebody wants to discuss matters of psychology, there are groups dedicated to that kind of stuff.

It's all a bit of a shame really. I'd only spoken to Lexi a fe times and I got the impression she was a decent person. I know she'd put in a lot of time with AEGIS and I believe she was a genuine benefit to the server BUT the dyslexia thing is insulting and she had made the point hit home a few times.
For what's it's worth I thought she was a good person but she had strong opinions - This is often a good thing and I respect people who actually speak out, I just don't agree on the point about dyslexia. Times and opinions have changed. Less than 100 years ago people were branded inferior due to the colour of their skin - In some parts of the world they atill are. Same with religion and political belief.
We're all just people and it's as shame we can't all just get along without ramming one another's beliefs down each other's throats. There always has to be respect and where statements are made, there are ways of delivering things calmly and politely without inciting a negative reaction.
I fully understand and respect Wilco's decision. I think it's a shame and it may not have been the way I'd gone but yeah, the status on Lexi's profile seemed a bit much. There is too much fucking drama on the forum and the server sometimes without actively posting to seek negative debate.
Peace and love you buggers. xx

As I said the problem here is that one side think it is a real disabiliy and the other don't and what I meant is that it is having a disability if you cant Clean yourself and eat for yourself. 
I did not say people with Dyslexia can't eat or clean themself.
I was talking about MY PATIENTS.

- Disability is the consequence of an impairment that may be physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental, or some combination of these. A disability may be present from birth, or occur during a person's lifetime.

It was said completely off topic... she was trying to get Ciaran banned because he issued her with a warning point for posting a pointless post of a thread that was nothing to do with her.
She then clearly turned her attentions onto me, Its a fucking gaming community a place for fun and people like her bringing up topics like that have no place
If you disagree with it then again the door is open to leave

Can you elaborate to what was said exactly then? because people are posting their interpretations of the conversation which is going to be wrong.

So basically we have come to the conclusion there is a bunch of different ways you can take the word disability. Some of you are thinking if the person cant physically do anything and always thinking of it in the (my opinion) extreme way, others are talking about the fact that a learning disability is a disability. I guess it comes down to how it was worded and how to take that word.
Productive as ever.

I dont think it was meant in an offensive way...!
I think the context it has been took in is wrong.
I would URGE you to reconsider or at least chat with her on TS to sort things out and smooth this over.
I think both parties have said/took this wrongly and no one is in the right!
At least allow her a fair trial and to put across her side of the story/point of view to defend herself.
I personally read all her opinions and ideas for the server the other day and nothing she has suggested would work here unfortunately like most suggestions they didn't look at the bigger picture.
