I am reposting this from Wheelchair Diffusion
A spam attack on online forums and help centers of the Epilepsy Foundation appear to have been designed to trigger seizures in persons with epilepsy.
“On Easter weekend, the Epilepsy Foundation—and those who use its online forums for help, support, suggestions and camaraderie—came under attack by people who posted rapidly flashing images to cause serious injury and harm. The type of epilepsy that causes people to experience seizures upon seeing flashing or flickering images is photosensitive epilepsy.”

This makes me sick...and very sad. This takes time and energy -- someone put thought into HARMING people with seizures. Unbelievable. May they get what they deserve...
Amen to that! May Katma have its way with them.
ReplyDeleteMy mother always says that we get back 3 fold what we give. Hope this jerk gets back 3 x 3.
ReplyDeleteMy niece has epilepsy... it makes me sick to think of her or anyone else being hurt because of someone’s maliciousness.

It's a cruel, cruel world and to think someone actually thinks this is funny is unbelievable. Just hope not too many are affected by this rediculous and hurtful prank. Thank God for people like you Angie that truly care about the world around you. We could use more people like you.
