THANK YOU PHAEWRYN!!! Seriously- Eric Richards should be banned from this list for that terribly insensitive, insulting, ableist remark. I am disabled and I was shocked that I even saw that remark on this list. There are plenty of other places to display that kind of nasty behavior. We don't need it here. --Anna Marie (First name = "Anna Marie") Anna Marie Golden, IT Accessibility Specialist University of Washington On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 7:45 AM, O'Guin, Phaewryn <JDO09280@ccv.vsc.edu> wrote: > “I was not looking for a handicap unemployable comedian to make a reply on > this forum.” > > > > Well, we’re not looking for tireless trolls on this forum, but yet you > seem to never cease to crawl out from under your bridge to proselytize and > insult people.
