I guess this all serves as a reminder that we will always have more education to do - for the general public, for the media, and for ourselves - those who stutter and can't help it when we say "b-b-b-b-balls".Pamhttp://www.stutterrockstar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-37318472653481682142010-01-28T13:07:59.606+01:002010-01-28T13:07:59.606+01:00Just emailed the paper.

If others wish to, the more the merrier.<br /><br />Dear Telegraph,<br /> <br />Why is it okay for Ms Liz Hunt to mock the disabled in her column in your newspaper?<br /> <br />Do you consider this acceptable content?<br /> <br />Do you consider that people who have a disability should be barred from disclosing it or that this should prevent public office?<br /> <br />Is your policy that making fun at the disabled is fair game, should I look forward to articles with jokes about people in Haiti that have lost their legs hopping about?<br /> <br />Why have yot not published the British Stammering Association's reply?<br /> <br />Best regards,<br />David CarpeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
