Just like it was Poland's fault the Nazis invaded.

No one tops me in that regard.
think of it like this
at least you are legible in your writing.
as Andrew said, change your e-mail addressed.
set up your old ones to forward e-mail,so you can keep receiving those vital ones.
you can do what i do,which is add them to ignore lists,ignore their posts,and report report report them.
of course,theres always the old trick of signing them up to....suspect or..embarassing mailing lists 
That's terrible!
But these comments were obviously written by immature, barely-literate dunces. There's no reason you should feel obligated to seek their forgiveness or approval. They get their entertainment from tormenting other people via the relative anonymity of the internet and they're only using your one rude comment as a flimsy justification for their behavior. This isn't your fault. Not at all. Don't let these idiots convince you that you've somehow brought this on yourself.

A lot of people are totally different online, for whatever reason. Nice people become arseholes, and arseholes become worse arseholes. I guess it's the anonymity, plus of course there is no tone or body language to interpret so people often take things the wrong way. Of course as Aspies we aren't good at that anyway so speaking online for us, is much like speaking in real life. I guess NT's love to try and read into things that simply aren't there, and get offended at the smallest comments.
I just can't understand why people can't just get along and be happy. What's the point in fighting with or insulting somebody you've never met, and are never likely to meet?
Excelent point and I agree completely. A psycho who had been harrasssing me was recently banned. There was some resentment toward me because some people felt that what the poor banned psycho had said to me "wasn't that bad."
In fat, the psycho had been sending me some incredibly sick, threatening PM's and I think that was much of the reason he was banned. I really considered posting the PM's because people here hae no idea how truly sick and threatening this creep was.
It is ridiculous for a psycho to say, "I am going to use this forum to privately harrass and bully you, AND you are obligated to keep my abuse a secret so people won't know how horrible I am."
It was, Pikajedi. I had no other choice.
In this case, WfM, there was no need for it at all. The reason is that it involved a great deal of off board material and the whole situation. Rossco was trying to get sympathy and paint me as the bad guy - when the reality is it was (and is) the other way around.
I could throw a lot of material onto this board if I wanted to in order to prove my point - but I happen to wish to move on with this matter. It's why it infuriates me when the REAL villains re-open old wounds every chance they get.
Who does THAT make the bully I wonder?
(I've just about had enough of this by the way)
That second lot of advice has already been taken, Zakkie. I do that all the time - and have done for years. And the things at the top are (and this will change as the weeks progress);
Legal Action against a slanderer (not on this board)
A second action against another slanderer (also not on this board)
The Hating Autism blog
The effort with the Federal Election (this will move up when the election is called - I expect that in mid October)
Jenny McCarthy on Larry King (if there is a reaction to my blog's latest entry)
The issues on this forum are low priority - which is why I've been trying to ignore this nonsense. The same applies for related peripheral issues, such as the one with Joeker (which is as good as closed).
I just want to point out that I don't attack the instant someone gets in the way - unless the manner in which it is done is seen as rude. I try to readjust my direction and try to get my message through. Disagreement doesn't automatically mean "getting in the way". Refusal to listen however does. It's impossible to see that in just one post.
I'm not aware of any misinterpretations in this particular dispute.
