    We don't have all the facts, and nothing is yet concrete. Try not to worry until we know what we face (easier said than done I concede).

    No you're not, it's from the benefits and work websites, it's been on other things. I only just come back on this forum, and once again you are making critical snide remarks about my posts , yet again. So I'm leaving for good. When I have put things in the past you ,your keyboard warrior have belittle me. Good picking on a woman . I have had **** from people in my life treating me like ****, so I be damned if I'm letting you do it to me. This forum is supposed to be for discussion. Free speech, but you seem to think only your opinion matters

    Well goodbye

    Dear Andi, I hope you will reconsider. I know you miss Strawberry and I'm sure she will return. Members are hot and bothered and stressed with all the benefit changes. DWP plans and proposals aren't new, it's just that the media (and the disabled community) stopped talking about the benefits fiasco as it was known 10+ years ago.

    Is Stephen Timms worth you leaving the forum for? Certainly not!

    Is one member worth you leaving the forum for? No.

    Ask yourself how important is this misunderstanding or any difference of opinion. I haven't seen any pictures of that event and I think Ranald was curious to see one but I think there are only written reports.

    From my limited knowledge of him to date, I would say this guy is more respectful towards women than most and I doubt he intended you to feel harassed. I am not trying to dismiss how you feel right now but trying to put this into perspective.

    Breaks from the forum are necessary for me quite often. While you were away, the community has had fallings out which is not new. I reported a member recently and Scope ironed things out. That's an easier way of dealing with a post or member that upsets you and less final than what you've written above. Usually it's a combination of events which causes us to lose our rag and I've had many public meltdowns I regret!

    Our strength lies in being able to come back from that and you can. There is support here and many autistic women who understand the pain of not being heard, seen or believed.

    💜
