[Ryedale] Dysphonic LUG

[Fintan Gaughan]

This was posted in a Hants Lug , this person wrote in a similer way
that i wrote but using the words dumb and making us all out stupid.
using the word dumb is very offensive to deaf community.
obviously he is trolling.

Normally i ignore things like that but for some reason it has offended me
I have taken it to heart.. but i think after a few days i will calm down
I hope it gets deleted from their archives .. but it gives me an un
easy feeling that someone could write this and we host our mailing
list on their server.
