I see I'm still safe, I'm not on the list.
I AM!
And I feel honoured!
At least I got my name written in that blog after I got myself into a conversation with 'drooopy' here at AFF, the conversation is deleted.
I think this John Best guy is only trying to piss people off.
It might be that he himself think that chelation is something stupid.
Joy, I like your post because it proves something I've been saying for some time. Not to this board - but in general.
When people behave like that, they think it's a joke or something along those lines. But when it's dished back at them - they get all bent out of shape. Moral of the story - if you can't take it, don't dish it out.
The pain they cause with their comments needs to be made crystal clear. That's the way I show it - by treating them the same way, and when they complain, my response is "how does it feel huh?" Or words to that effect.
Of course it doesn't always work - such as when people don't realise they have actually offended you and don't understand why. So when you fire back, you can understand why they are upset and angry. But of course us Aspies have to be told first (for the most part anyway)! Unless we've had previous practical experience in it!
Mind you - this doesn't apply when you tell the person they've offended you and they refuse to believe it.
Sorry - rambling just a tad there!
Pull the other one Phil, it's got bells on.
And that is a prime example of what I'm talking about. Refusal to believe. Enough said.
Mind you - this doesn't apply when you tell the person they've offended you and they refuse to believe it.
Talking about yourself again?
Please accept my humble apologies IF I HAVE "offended" you.
I dedicate this song to you.

Those pathetic NT's, with their snobbish appeal, are illogical, assuming, shallow monsters with little or no ability to put their own selves in our shoes!
Although I am on the spectrum, and I get along with NT's on the outside, I am similar to Malcolm X in the rights movement, wanting to improve autistic rights by any means possible.
Thankyou for helping my son, my brother and my boyfriend. We're all indebted to you.
I don't need to walk in your NT shoes though. I have a few pairs of my own.
I'm not sure if it is that mainstream people hate us; I think it is more that they are indifferent. This may be why people support Autism Speaks: they saw an ad on NBC and they think "oh, how terrible" and they pick up the phone to make a pledge, and then it all slips right off of their radar.
The thing is, most people do not live examined lives and they do not see much further into the future than next week. Unless they have a family member who is on the spectrum, none of it really registers.
Thankyou for saying this. I totally agree with you. Most people, as you say, don't see much further into the future than next week and the general public are mostly either indifferent, ignorant or have never heard of Autism or Aspergers syndrome.
In six years I have never felt the slightest iota of "hate" towards my autistic son from anyone. I have found the contrary to be true.
I love and respect a wonderful autistic man, and find the title and comments on this and other threads offensive to NT's who love and cherish the autistic people in their lives.
I don't hate, dislike or look down on anyone because they're on the autistic spectrum, but this does not mean I should have to tolerate or not react to people who are personally insulting and offensive towards me because of their personality. Autistic or not.
Timelord STOP insulting or disparaging my girlfriend!
I have chosen to leave you be and warn others away from attacking you because of your mental illness, but I will not continually turn a blind eye to you rubbishing people I care about. This goes double for Wilky. Stop inciting trouble.
"But with Wilky - no. I did nothing wrong unprovoked. If she wants an apology, I'll be happy to comply - when and ONLY when she apologises for insulting me first by refusing to take my view of John Best Junior seriously. And genuinely and not mockingly (as she has already tried to do), and acknowledge her fault. Until then - I stick by my guns. A person who apologises dishonestly (as I would be doing if I did apologise now) is a coward in my opinion."
I know this seems a real representation to you even if it is not fact. I find it hard to keep biting my tongue though.
Apologising for being too harsh or making someone feel bad or worse than they ought to have felt is true and not dishonest.
"And I told you to stay right away from me, Rossco!! Wilky did the wrong thing. That's not an insult - it's the bloody TRUTH!! At least you had the sense to see that Wilky wasn't helping in this thread - I'll give you that much.
So you apologise if you don't mean it in your heart? That's cowardice - because it means you have no principles. A person who sacrifices principles no matter what the reason has nothing."
Yes you did demand to stay away from me and I equally demanded that you to play nice and leave my friends alone (stop attacking them). You haven't managed that.
You did the wrong thing and your interpretations on things in general is not real. You still have real ability to upset those around you when you strike out at your shadows.
No the bit about the apology is not what I said nor what I meant. I think the way I conduct myself is fine.
If you REALLY want me to "stay away from you" you will avoid opportunities to disrespect those I care about. If you REALLY want closure it starts with an apology to Wilky and taking down the "AS Disappointment" drivel.
Your illness has put you in a position where no matter what you do, you can't get any closure, any respect, or ultimately any satisfaction. Anything an adult has learned in their life it is that there are fights worth fighting and those worth walking AND that In order to change life for the better you have to adapt and that invariably means sacrifice. By not embracing these qualities and ideologies you doom yourself to an existence where you constantly run into these problems. They will never resolve and the world will seem such an unfair place full of unfair people.
A lot of this is to do with your illness. I understand that and that is why I am explaining this and why Max has taken the time to explain. We really don't have to and it is not for OUR benefit.
Yes, I too wonder where all the fundie religious people were when all those people were drowning in New Orleans?
Guess Who, please prick the bubble of pomposity and ignorance that you are living in because it is seriously blinkering you to the reality of God as a God of love.
I would have no respect for a God who only exists to destroy and smite down people for the least little infraction or difference. He would be a cosmic enforcer rather than a God of love.
Can you see that while you drivel on about all this "Christian" stuff, you are actually slipping further and further away from what Christ's message really was? This is where I have to agree with Max's points but unfortunately I don't have the same descriptive skills as he does.
GuessWho, you still have a slim window of opportunity to avoid becoming a boring old fart but gee you'd better hurry - it won't be long now if you don't act soon.
Speaking for myself - I'd rather not see any PM's from the people I've set to ignore at all. That's why I bother for one. I don't know about anyone else of course.
FTR I've never tried to PM you and have no desire to, but in response to your statement above, I'd like to know If you'll be honest with me when I ask you if you PM others asking them to manipulate me?
If you choose to ignore my question, I'll take your answer as a yes.
GuessWho, what the @ is a R A? I still don't think somebody who's pro-abortion can be considered a good christian. Sorry, but a good christian has compassion for even the weakest and most defenceless human being and what could be more defenceless than an unborn child?
I also have to agree with Max that your meanderings are getting tedious and make you come across to readers as a pompous bag of hot air. You say that my message comes across loud and clear but then you just ignore it.
It's probably too late - you must be as set in your ways as if you'd had concrete poured all over you! I also detect a distinct note of condescension towards gays. I have learnt a lot from what Max has said in his posts and think he has many worthwhile things to say about life.
I also have said before that you CANNOT say you've been saved! You CAN say you were converted but until you die, you will NOT know where you will go in the afterlife (assuming one exists).
People hate what they cannot understand, that's why we are hated.
I am not hated. Everyone....LOVES.....Rossco.
No I am not serious. LOL
GuessWho, my you are modest in saying that you are so smart! Do you seriously think that you are coming across in this and other threads as being so intelligent that nearly all women wouldn't be your intellectual equal?
That is why I have a go at your comments and not Batman55's. He doesn't go around implying that he is superior to everybody! That's also why I said for goodness sake, prick that bubble of superciliousness and pomposity that surrounds you! And why not invest in a couple of tropical shirts while you are at it?
Then you say silly comments such as "I hear you loud and clear, CJ". I'm not interested in whether or not you hear me; it is of an irrelevance. What I am looking for and not seeing is some indication that you might be LISTENING instead!
Btw, I don't hate you - just find the attitude of intellectual and religious superiority extremely irritating. I also get the distinct impression that gays are "tolerated" by you as part of your "christian duty".
Mein apology, Ethel, woman from mars.
I meant to say that there a wide latitude of matches for any given individual, like me.
It may be hard for many women to keep up with me or put up with endless veiwing National Geographic, Discovery Times Channel et cetera.
There has to be something in it for the two of us, something we both like.
Think of it like proximity fuse. The shell explodes if it is close enough. If you wait for a direct hit, you will always miss. That is why they invented the thing, jacked up the kill ratio.
GuessWho, I seriously believe that the women here who've taken issue with some of your comments would be well placed to keep up with or even exceed you intellectually.
