Don't you start again or I'll start again, ok?

I'm not starting anything, Frank. I'm genuinely interested to understand
your POV on this, as I simply can't wrap my head around the suggestion that
provision for the disabled is a bad thing.

There you go again. No one has a problem with provision for the
disabled.

You clearly stated that you disagree with questions being read out to
candidates and the answers being written down for them.

Why do you continually state that the less intelligent are
disabled? They are not. I have a problem with the dense. I have a
problem with the dense and those pretending to be dense being given
"assistance" that beggars belief.

What assistance? Do you have any evidence to back this up?

What do I mean by dense? Look no
further than the Jocktards posting here. Do you think such scum belong
in amateur radio? They don't. I have major problems as does any right
thinking person about special provision being made for such people.


What evidence do you have that reader and scribe services have been
supplied to those who don't need it?

CB radio and PMR 446
exists for such people. This is a technical pursuit not a hobby that
was always within reach of anyone prepared to make an effort - ANYONE.
It did not need to be dumbed down to the level it has been. You *seem*
to be a clever chap Stephen you tell me why such people aren't allowed
readers and scribe assistants in their pursuit to become brain
surgeons and why such people aren't allowed to drive on our roads.

None of that remotely addresses the question, which is; why shouldn't
people with disabilities be provided services (reader and scribe) to help
them access amateur radio?

Disabled and dense are two entirely different things and you know it.

It's a fine line you're walking there, Frank. Unless you'd like to share
your clinical psychiatry qualifications and experience with us, I'd steer
clear of defining who has a disability and who doesn't if I were you.
