A Sincere Apology:
I apologize honestly for using the term "cripple", This was a back-handed comment and in no way intended to offend or cause upset to anyone.
As Lianne has stated I did have a bike crash about two years ago where I spent a year in recovery 9 months of which unable to walk unaided. I could have easily ended up a person of adaptd needs myself and as such should have been more sensitive to the term.
Although no excuse, I did not realise the term had become as derogatory as it has, This said I still should have engaged my brain before posting. I now realise ths is not a term to be used lightly (if at all) and as such will make concerted effort not to use this term again.
I have also removed the offending term from my original post.
Yours Most Sincerely
Steven J. |

Hey Stevie
Like I said I don't necessarily have a problem with the word crip or cripple..it was 'cripple-shagger' that I had a problem with. It makes out that 'shagging' a disabled person is a demeaning or negative thing.
People should check out these websites:
