I've been away... scared off by those malicious popups (even after I put all kinds of defenses in place). Now waiting for the malware stuff to be shut down, or at least acknowledged. That seems to be happening now, yay.
Thanks Tem.
Actually I came back yesterday and mostly all people wanted to do was argue with me bizarrely about - nothing, as far as I could tell. This happened in a couple threads with different people. I have been wondering, honestly, what the heck. Create a thread about purely superficial nonsense here and you're solid gold, but try to talk about things like an intelligent adult - in places where that *seemed* to be the point (hello? We're ASPIES? That's one of the things we DO? At least I thought it was?) and it's like Kipling's Bandar-Log in thirty seconds flat? What the...?
Sorry, sweetie. That isn't aimed at you or anyone specifically. It's a rant about where the site culture seems to have gone (and quickly). But with that kind of welcome, especially having it *replicated*, it's time for me to hit the road.
