Well, at least it's heartening to see that representatives of epileptics and others with mental illnesses think that this is being overly sensitive. Isn't bending over backwards to avoid offending particular groups in itself offensive? I mean, it seems to imply that such groups have an extremely thin skin (I hope putting it that way isn't offensive to the PDD community – People with Dermatological Disorders). I can understand going out of your way not to offend the MPWA community (Murderous Psychopaths With Axes), but otherwise, a little reason is called for (by saying that I don't mean to offend the PIRW community - People Incapable of Reasoning With).
