Talk:Steady Eddy

Article move
I think this article would be more suited at Steady Eddy. I'd estimate far more people would know Mr Widdows by his stage name rather than his actual name. -- Longhair 17:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed! -- Chuq 23:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Moved to 'Steady Eddy'. -- Longhair 01:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

The word 'Spastic'
The word 'Spastic' should not be used. The reason is that in many parts of the world, that word is used in the Pejorative sense, intended as a derogatory insult. An anonymous IP user has inserted the word a number of times (eg, #1, #2, #3) into this article. I ask that user to cease adding that word to this article. Lester  19:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * However, the substitute term offered, 'differently abled' is unclear in meaning and intent. I propose the re-instatement of the term 'spastic' due to its technical accuracy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.238.146 (talk) 05:21, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but derogatory terms are not "accurate".  Lester  20:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

The term 'spastic' is the medical term applied to the condition, and certainly is more accurate than the confusing term 'differently abled'. If you cannot follow this, then I propose that you are 'differently abled', a statement that rapidly demonstrates how this term is no better in its derogatory connotations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.226.205 (talk) 11:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
