However, since when is it acceptable to tell people that they cannot cay such things?<br /><br />For what it's worth, I consciously disagree with Patricius, and my watching of some of the Paralympic events for the first time this year has served to establish that disagreement to some extent, as I saw people overcoming quite significant challenges to excel. I was incredibly moved and humbled by much of it and thought that many of the competitors were simply amazing.<br /><br />However, I must say that some of his words in this post give voice to something that I cannot particularly well articulate but which sometimes sat on my mind as I was watching these events. It was a discomfort that could not simply be explained away as a feeling of awkwardness when confronted with the reality of disability. It was something else. I still cannot articulate it very well because I haven't quite sorted out the thoughts in my mind, and I think that they do not map directly onto what Patricius has said here.<br /><br />Yet I don't think it will do just to write off Patricius' post simply because he expresses views that are unpopular.Bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989307876421460920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-78145451910456636562012-09-11T15:35:33.163+01:002012-09-11T15:35:33.163+01:00Sorry, Patricius, you are not allowed to say those...Sorry, Patricius, you are <i>not allowed</i> to say those things or even to think those thoughts.Little Black Sambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699227938165106710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-6157090062237444352012-09-11T13:22:26.067+01:002012-09-11T13:22:26.067+01:00Poor Patricius.
