Aspies For Freedom

Good for you for making a stand Jerry.

I respect your decision here

Jerry


My respect for you grows.

HA

I wont hold my breath

Onya Jerry! (That's Australian for "Well done!")

It would be a wonderful thing if more high profile autistic people made a similar stand.

Well I think it is a case of  being more  an uncle tom than anything else.

Lets see what are the NTs are doing. they must be right cos they are not diseased like me. So I will follow. I think many aspies doubt themselves and this self doubt fills the books they write.

I resigned today, from the advisory board of an organization in Floriduh, which included two pro-chelation persons.

I'm probably missing the point here, but doesn't this just mean that these two people now have a 'louder' voice than you do now that you've left them in charge?

I would suppose that you would have found it acceptable for a jew to serve on the advisory board for the Third Reich? Perhaps to lobby for dreidels in the yards, chess sets and hug machines next to the gas chambers?

Are you actually asking me these questions?

Had their of been any Jews on the advisory board for the Third Reich I can only imagine that the outlook for Jews might not have been so bleak.


No. I am being facetious. I am showing how absurd it would have seemed for me to stay on that board by offering a ludicrous example.

What appears to be the absurdity of the situation is that you have voluntarily silenced yourself. Who will stop them now?

yeah right as if it would have been allowed

Almost as bonkers as having an anti-cure viewpoint on an advisory board with chelators in it's membership?


please lets end this discussion before it looks like it was on AI

lol

Still after the moderator status Joe?

lol

I guess there is a point where one decides that some group is so "off" that to stay associated with them is no longer possible because then it would look like you were supporting or agreeing with a point of view that you very much disagree with. Sometimes one needs to trade some power for more credibility.

Thank you Lili, that makes some sense to me. I still think some good could have done, if it were at all possible, to have stayed on to argue an anti-cure viewpoint, but I guess that would be very difficult to do with 'chelaties'.

wow you are being nice now?

I wasn't being unplesant before, I didn't understand something and wanted it explained, Lili did just that, unlike yourself who tried to halt the proccedings altogether, perhaps this is why you can't be trusted with a moderator status because you can't differentiate between (slightly heated) debate and puerile argument?


btw, I don't need to be nice to fulfill my duties as a moderator BECAUSE MY ONLY JOB IS TO DELETE SPAM! It's in big letters because you still seem confused over what my role is here, maybe you'll pick up on it this time...

:smile:

But the fact is jerry's point was obivous just not to the blind.

It might seem a strange concept to you but all things concerning another persons point of view or reasons for their actions are not always immediately obvious to me, I'd have thought you'd have understood that.

Odd. :?

Settle down guys!
