RE: Don't Aspie People Make You Want to Vomit?

Wow , so that was directed at me? " korrigan wrote: " And that post was directed at you, as you came on, gave your opinion, and said you would not return to the thread.  (Which is totally your right, as it is anyone's - again, my post was a "parody" of sorts.)  You did return to the thread, however, and we can now clear things up, but you said you would not return, so I took that as truth. "

I since thought it was a bit ambiguous and (also my conscience was clear I am not as I am portrayed there) then thought it was towards Zed.
Just because someone doesn't have the time or energy to follow a really long thread - and repetitive - does not constitiute a sin worthy of being thrown in and generalized as, dropping a bomb.  That line is passive aggressive - not direct - what has Zed ever done to anyone. His one line was"

and then he came back and has since explained himself to you, he was agreeing with you to boot, go figure. But why must everyone explain themselves, sometimes we don't.
Do you doubt my veracity, but saying you thought something was "truth" me saying I'd not be on the thread )heck for all I knew the thread would be A> deleted as you intimated it may be, B> long dead as I was going way camping or C> a flame war not worth the trouble. Here I am explaining  myself to you - to avoid silly misunderstandings - I am not taking an offensive position or a defensive postion.  I am being direct. In that same post (kind of short, no?) I mentioned that you could PM me, if need be.  (as we have Pm'd many a time - I have PM'ed with you 10 times more than anyone else as we have so much in common (I think).  SO why elude to me - did I harm someone or say sonething bad to you besides my opinion on the title of the thread?  Why so defensive - towards me ? You can answer this on open forum if you'd like - or PM me - It doesn;t matter to me - I am the same either place.

I do not agree with a lot of the dishonesty, the subtle nuances in conversation.  I am a blunt and honest person.  I just do not have the patience or the time to sit and try to be someone else.  
But here, no, here I will demand that we not insult anyone because of their neurotype.  That we do not state mass generalizations.  That we do not treat anyone in a way that is different than we want to be treated.  

Because even here on AFF, as said by someone else in a post that was rather NT prejudiced, "might makes right" is NOT acceptable.

Actually, funny enough, Zed never returned to explain the comment.  It was a one line bomb that was dropped...I think I mentioned those somewhere?

It was simply a matter of agreeing with your statement. What explanation do you require beyond your own?

The 'one line bombs' that you object to are scarcely less offensive than you freaking out and jumping all over a teenager who needed someone to listen to him. You could have addressed what he said rather than coming out with guns blazing. It was almost amusing when your response was almost identical to the behaviour that he was complaining about ...

So atypical, it is ok for AS people to come on this site and generalize about NT people and vent about "ALL NTs" but when it is turned back, that is not ok?  

"I am supposed to sit here and work for the ideals of this site and listen to all of this NT bashing, as it is ok for them, but not ok for me?  My post was incredibly well thought out." Maybe you are overwhelmed and working too hard, you sure seem to get alot of positive reinforcement as to all the good you do, do you really feel that one posters thread is a personal afront to all you have woked for?...
(I am not sure why I am posting, as she actually did exactly what I was complaining about, a short little few posts that state something, never to return to the thread.  Nice...)" <<<passive aggressive? don't worry this post is a novellaWink)
"The best word for it may not be a parody, but I honestly cannot think of another word for it.  Maybe, those that need it, should call it a mirror." (ambiguous, passive aggressive?)
"The post was taken, by most, as it was intended.  Maybe those that took it badly should take a long hard look at themselves and their actions as of late."  (just because everyone, every single person - doesn't share the same exact thoughts as you- hey you got the majority seeing it as you intended- does not mean they didn't actually feel it) and actions of late?- man talk about generalizations - who is that thrown at? alot of mud slinging ... how is this (all of this,) helpful ?- you asked me to come and post so I am

You asked to have things explained to you and did not want short answers or to let it be. This is no attack, this is point by point debate. Won't you consider that your thread was ill-conceived.( and not direct and not so clear that noone could/would question and with your continuing explanation of why, to try to determine your agenda/goals in doing so)
To be clear - I am not saying you had any bad or ulterior motives or any agenda other than to benefit AFF, just that I think we all (especially, yes I think this,)- especially non-aspies (not nt's) who have not first hand dealt - life-long- with being an obvious minority under a barrage of real or imagined oppression... non-aspies should sometimes take a less -defensive approach.[/i]

Oh and in BOLD - the area where Korrigan quotes anohter alluding to "Might makes right" Thta is a misquote - that poster did not say NT's use might to make right - he was very clear in his distinction - if not as clear to every single person in the ones sentance in his follow up to the question by I think Korrigan? who knows, on that - he was saying that the majority/power/elite has used the might makes right tactic - and it is not acceptable - he wasn't condemning any NT's.  Everyone is so touchy lately!
