| I certainly do not...why on earth should I? I have spent hours watching you trying to twist my words hither and yon, and then baldly deny it.. If anyone has been twisting words, it would be you. You've turnt every single one of his posts into him trying to force you to change your veiws, or him att... |

| Mechanima, you've done nothing but point and expect others to know what you mean while insisting you are right above all else. Why one earth would I (and others) say these things if I did not know beyond doubt that they were true? Spite perhaps? Trust me, not my style. I'm sorry you're not satisfie... |

| You've made accusations and done nothing to substantiate them; you are welcome to your certainty, but your beliefs are not facts. I thought you weren't speaking to me any more? Regardless, I did not have to substantiate anything, you did it yourself with your own behaviour to me...including trying ... |

| I know it's natural that groups or organisations change direction and the user/client group can change too. It's just that I'm not sure I want to be part of that change, I don't see how AS people benefit from the changes happening here. I'm sure married/childed/weallhaveproblems people feel differe... |

| Your inaccurate assumptions about me are personally insulting, but you are welcome to your opinion. Neither assumption, nor opinion, just rather obvious observations on your own, freely chosen, words in this thread alone...I didn't even realise half of them contradicted your *own* words in other, c... |

| No, I asked for help. You talk of a problem that I am unable to identify or understand, and when asked for assistance of any sort you flatly refused. People can read back for themselves and see that what you *actually* did was strive to dismiss my points by striving to make them conditional on an u... |

| I asked for help on the subject. Not you did not, you asked me to spend many hours that I do not have to spare, looking through reams of threads, for control dynamics that invariably extend across several posts and often threads...all of which thoroughly upset me even to look at... Semantic manipul... |

| The fact he is engaging with you should be seen a compliment, he's listening to what you say after all, instead of just childishly dismissing it. Provided you also acknowledge that the fact that I am engaging with him should also be seen as a compliment. He is only another Aspie, just like me, and ... |

| Thank you so much Steve. I must point out though, that I am not sure I actually *know* Alex as such...when I came across him I hadn't got a clue who he was until later. But, at the time, we were both standing up to the exact kind of thing that is beginning to happen here on WP, so it seems a safe be... |

| It's just easier to discourage one woman than try to sort this out as a community. My turn to say: "WOW!!" Some people may think that you and I are actually on different pages with all this, but not so. Creating a pecking order, and uniting against a (perceived) common enemy, are all part of the ve... |

| Mechanima, would you mind citing some examples of what you are describing? M. To be honest, I would mind, because to do that I would have to dig through acres of unfamiliar threads looking for stuff that thoroughly upsets me. I don't have the time, or the energy for it...but plenty of people know i... |

| Thank you...SO much... Do you think there's a chance that the WP staff will really listen to our pleas for change? I think the only REAL staff is still Alex...and maybe Mr Mister, and one other I can't think of...and I am SURE they will, at least listen, if they see this. This site worked better tha... |

| It breaks my heart to see this thread... I don't post much on WP any more, partly because I really am withdrawing into myself, partly because there are two or three newer Mods, that I feel were unfortunate choices, because they seem driven to do that appalling "NT/pecking order" thing and find excus... |

I honestly think this thread needs to expand and become a new forum.
It's a brilliant idea, but as a single thread, individual questions and the replies will get buried...
As a whole forum it would be far easier to find them.
