Hi all


there is a very offensive article on Encyclopedia dramatica about asperger syndrome

the article mentioned has said

we have lower intelligence than a dog

those on the internet "lie" about their asperger's

and have the usual ignorant phrases like "***" and "F*** tard"


I did delete their article and leave it like that at first (I know it was wrong)

BUT their response was less than appropriate they responded by placing a slogan informing everyone of my aspergers and etc

and then placed pornagraphic Images on my user page

I did delete their article a second time but I copied and pasted the wikipedia article about AS into it then placed a warning on the discussion page

needless to say they reversed this and placed by the "reason for deletion" "that was ***"

I have set up a Ipetition to get rid of this article with your help we can get rid of this horrendous article which will hinder the public's under standing of asperger syndrome

a link to the petition is here

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ED-As-Article/

I have not posted a link to E.D as there is Inappropriate pictures and text on their and there are children on this site

However you can find a link to the article from the petition's page

thank you

It is a parody site.  Their disclaimer states "The articles in this parody of an encyclopedia explain things in a funny and not necessarily correct way."   Maybe you don't think their humour is funny but you don't have to visit that site.  It is not meant to be informative or educational.  Making fun of people with autism or physical disabilities should be in bad taste.  

Don't waste your time with a petition against it.


trouble is i have seen so called "joke" sites and their article aren't as insulting

this one well it just takes the cake

I think there have to be rules - people shouldn't just be able to say anything they like and then use 'it's a joke' as their defence.

Would they say the same things about someone of a different ethnicity or religion or someone who was a wheelchair user? And even if they did, many would be enraged by this.

I think we have just as much right to respect as ethnic minorities etc. and therefore action against articles like this needs to be taken.

Perhaps you could find out which country hosts the website and email the relevant department of their police?



i think it may be an american site from their use of "***"

not being rude about america but that is a american spelling lol! Tongue

trouble is I don't think the police will do anything other than say "you don't have to go on there"

either way i'll find out what country it comes from to make things easier

I agree with M. You won't get very far petitioning against a large comedy site. They don't have serious malicious against us, there just being a comedy site. Some of what they did was ***hole-ish, but people are like that.



I can understand the "comedy site" thing but there is one thing that is wrong with it

it is just not funny

it is showing very negative images of us

uncyclopedia for example although not exactly a article i like is OK because it does mention at the top it is a joke and does not have the same kind of abuse that ED is spouting

E.D does neither of these things their article must be deleted FULL STOP.

Why did it edit back so fast?

Why is there a Joeker talking *** in the discussion board?


unfortunatley they seem to be able to reverse changes


If you'll look at your user name It will probably have the usual immature

"This person has *** burgers syndrome"

"so you can't say anything bad about them this means you you insensitive f***"

Ididotic or what?!!

I take issue with this freedom-hating, fascist statement.  It's an American site, Aliengirl, and while I don't know what socialist slime pit you're posting from, in this country speech is free.



I take it you haven't heard of the disability discrimination act?

oh wait thats just ignored on the internet 'cos no one gives a toos about us "retards"

there are differences between humour and discrimiation and E.D is the former

I suggest you review what you say before making yourself look like a fool a second time.

doesn't matter

they are putting a very negative and despicable view on asperger syndrome and this is not acceptable


speaking of which are you a member by any chance?


So, Flardox, what impact do you think you're going to have?  You throw up a petition that gets 29 signatures, most being spam.  Even if your petition was successful, then what?  Where would you send it?  A petition doesn't carry legal weight and cannot shut someone down in itself.

ED has taken on far bigger challengers.  If the Church of Scientology can't bring them down, what hope is there for the short bus crowd?



who needs petitions when you can send hacker? *smiles evilly*

really hugbox, mocking us in our own sanctuary?

you fail at trolling.


Hay, you called this crusade and brought it to ED's site.  I'm just here for the lulz.


shame you don't have the intelligence to realise we are laughing at you

you seem to not realise your article is very untruthful If you are trying to trick us or whatever you are way out of your league.

Just like the last troll Lulzburgers a few comments against him were needed to send him away with his tail between his legs.

I suggest you leave now hugbox before things get nasty.

That is why we prefer Uncyclopedia.
flardox...grow up.

all your posts are doing now is inflaming the situation.

learn when to back off.
Flardox...you are allowing yourself to be trolled.

just...go take a stroll, cook some rice, have a cup of tea, whatever. just leave the computer for five minutes and cool down.
think about the situation, and you'll realise what i mean.
