Please don't feel hurt aliengirl. I like wrongplanet - I think it is an amazing place with a lot of good feeling. But - there are mean people everywhere. I read your response to the poster on wrong planet - your response was good. I am hoping he might come back and apologise to you. I am sorry you feel hurt.
I don't think aliengirl is stupid at all. Most of your posts seem to be very reasoned and intelligent. Perhaps having being labelled as learning disabled has knocked your confidence and set up false beliefs.
It makes me sad that there is so much argument between people who ought to work together.
There are some people with some very weird ideas.
ZOMG has some interest but I've only ever been there in the capacity of a guest poster. I have a really good friend who is a member but he had some really big fights with some people on WP and nearly got banned.
TheChosenOne.
Oh, is that why he turns feral sometimes?

Seriously it is quite clear Alex has done WP for his own monetary and political/ego stroking gain.

  1. He shoves adds like mad onto the website
  2. He asks for money
  3. He quiets anyone who disagrees with him on the site
  4. When anyone disagrees with him he uses the fact that he has hung out with presidents and been writen about in magazines as an excuse for quieting people who disagree with him


have you considered the fact that a forum with high traffic like WP requires substantial upkeep for the bandwidth bills?


Yes I have, and his mass ammounts of advertising should be more then sufficient to pay for it and a sallary for himself.

What annoys me the most is if he has a problem with what somebody is doing, he doesn't tell them himself but gets one of the moderators to do it. I also think he plays favourites and this sucks!

Yeah, I had some troubles over there and some people said to PM him but I said why would I do that when he probably wouldn't have listened anyway.
Oh, and some of the mods seem pretty silly. NirrtiRachelle and Gwenevyn seem good but some others whose names I won't mention also play favourites.
That's much of the reason Soph started up Zomg.
I think they take the free speech philosophy too far.
Ian, precisely my point.

WP is full of assholes. I ignore the attacks usually but now I like fighting with them or saying something good back because it's fun and people seem to like it on I2. That's how my karma went up.


Come be my friend. I'll be nice on WP. (When I'm there.)

I hope you don't mean aliengirl there ian.

As for wrongplanet, don't take it to heart,  I joined WP the other day, made a brief introductory post, under a different name (tsathoggua) in case of any partisan bullshit arising, posted one or two other posts, went out to the shop, and got promptly banned, with no explanation.

It isn't you hun, you rawk!, but some people over there have obviously got their heads up their own arsesTongue

And that color scheme is vile.

Well, I've been over there a few times and they are now in the middle of some rather nasty wrangling over "the rules", especially with regard to the Politics/Religion forum.

A close friend of mine recently got banned and he can't get any sense out of the mod who banned him after a half-hearted public warning. There are people who put up provocative threads and then get upset if anybody dares to refute them.

3 or 4 mods for a site with 19000+ members is just plain ludicrous but the reason I was given was that if they had any more, there would be too many ego clashes.

The mod who banned my friend is someone I could not respect pretty much from the start. He does not seem fit to be a mod because he is too biased and inconsistent and the power seems to have gone to his head.

They have had some really good mods but I don't know what's happened with most of them.

It has occurred to me recently that certain of the rules over there are framed in such a way as to suit a way of thinking that is often quite diametrically opposed to how most aspies operate. We are not anti-rules but anything that seems illogical, capricious, or internally inconsistent will be a challenge to follow.

I don't think WP has the same brief as AFF to be a support site - it is more of a discussion site. This is not bad in itself but it is something to be aware of.
