Making it Better: The future of WP

Post Reply New Topic

My above post was rather cynical.

I agree with APOM that WrongPlanet is a “hybrid” site.

Sometimes, I just feel like fooling around. Other times, I feel more explicitly altruistic.

My hope is that I could reach people through fun and more serious attention to people’s concerns.

I am diagnosed with AS.

My mental state makes me have the AS characteristic of "preoccupation with order, lists, and formalities".

"Order" must come across in my posts.

That is what I do here.

I am not here for social, political, or autism.

I get "relief" from my condition by engaging in concepts, and putting them into an order in my mind.

Often, I will make lists of a-c or 1-3 with relevant information.

Often, I will post an accompanying picture, because I feel my words are messy.

^That makes perfect sense to me. Not surprising that I've always enjoyed alphabetical and numerical lists of things and a tendency to memorize world capitals and suchlike. Instead of "counting sheep" I'll lie and recite names backwards in my mind until I'm asleep.

*I* know.
That is why I boycott a couple of forums.
Some people just want to argue and play mind/power games, rather than discuss to achieve mutual gain/enlightenment.
I'm over that crap.

And what do you actually mean by "harp"?



It's a gift.
What can I say?

WP has certainly helped me in understanding my autism, learning from others and finding some sense of community, especially with the elder women here. It is a place where I am understood.

There are also some very witty people and their posts brighten my day.

I hope I have helped some others and try to do my part in supporting others and welcoming new members.

I don’t expect Alex or WP to do anything to affect politics or work for inclusion or get more jobs.

Communities change over time. While some are leaving or have left, others are joining.

At one time I was using PPR to gain knowledge about subject matter I didn't understand or that was new to me. My goal was to gain enlightenment.
I gave up on that because some people were patronising and were more intent in showing off than imparting knowledge.

But they were the better ones.
PPR is so full of hostility, arrogance and intolerance that I refuse to go there any more.
It is dead to me.

Meh.

Despite repeated requests not to ~ individual people have here again been referred to by you relating to their actions as were previously claimed by you to be a downright sly form of bullying. Thus the rules have not as such been followed.

Also, being that an accusation is a charge of wrongdoing that is made against a person or other party; that can only be proven in the current context by individually identifying the threads, posts and people involved ~ meaning that my statement was neither ‘redundant nor implied. But I very much concur that it was clearly stated as part of my request for you to follow the community rules.

In future when describing people’s wrongdoings ~ make certain that there are no individual references to anyone in particular, and keep such accounts in specific reference to what was written ~ which envirozentinel also described as followed:


*With the sinner being the rebellious writer we are not to focus on and the sin being the unacceptable written content we are to focus upon ~ or at least report.


So mild it seemed very much to be one of those domineering “watch out your here now and will shut bullies up even if that is construed as being rude” deterrents for the sake of 'enforced' peace as follows:


So threatening to make yourself a problem to resolve a problem whilst breaking the rules is against the rules which I have not tolerated at all, as you have so far continuously discovered. I mean it is really good stuff of you besides the wrathful side of the option to include the peaceful side of exploring perspectives outside the bully's narrative, but the first part of the option is not to shut people up ~ it is to have them abide by the freedom of expression in the same way people with driving licenses need to respect the highway code in order to prevent accidents, and keep people safe. No one should meet their match or worse still beyond their league in a wrathful manner that has unbridled triangulation talent ~ it is just the stuff of website forum horror legends.

Stay calm and keep strictly to the rules ~ or stay much safer and report any issues to the moderators, and just as I do not want people to become 'mod-fodder' ~ we don't need anyone becoming 'troll-mess' either!


Contextualisation ~ by way of quotation helps very much to reduce misunderstanding, but not repeatedly contravening the community rules was clearly stated by me.

There was as such though no assumption on my part being that my statements have been directly based (word for word) on the written content of your statements, which have been quoted for context in each and every instance. Two really good examples of assumptions involving derogatory statements are though demonstrated by way of what you suppose I wanted as follows:


&


Regarding your supposition of what I want though:


And I am quite sure though your allusions are based upon and suppositiously derived from what you have read ~ just as I focus more upon the subjective object of each word and continue addressing likewise the relevance of the statement or statements that are made in sequence. Plus your mistaken assumptions of what I want includes not what I keep on requesting and is expected anyway of everyone in terms of abiding by the community rules:

The following activities are unacceptable on WrongPlanet:

1. Posting offensive language, comments, video, or images.
Unacceptable content includes swearing; racist, sexist, homophobic language; behavior intended to provoke or belittle other members; violent or sexually demeaning content; sexual fetish; and discussion of excretory function. Posting graphic images or videos of people or animals being harmed is prohibited.

2. Personal attacks.
This includes insinuation, ridicule and personal insults, regardless of whether direct or indirect. Attacking an opinion, belief or philosophy is acceptable, but attacking the person making the comments is not.

3. Other inappropriate content and behavior prohibited on Wrong Planet:
This includes copyrighted material, serial codes, and posts made to promote a website, group or product, particularly if made repeatedly and without other participation in the WP community (spamming). This also includes discussion of locked topics, discussion of banned members and why they were banned and anything else that purposely causes conflict with other members.

Your compliance is as much appreciated as it is universally required. This is though your third and final warning ~ and the subject matter of all three warnings will be reported if you ignore this final one. Thankyou everyone for your compliance with the community rules ~ it is very much appreciated.

1. When a person states they wish to improve the situation and creates a thread for the purpose seemingly to explore and emphasize this idea one would assume giving an INDIRECTLY referred to example by way of an example of the issue that is impossible to explain otherwise-
At least as far as I can tell-
Wpuld be part and parcel towards the solution.
Also referenced as part of defending myself when I saw what was being written. Surely one has this right or it is pure hypocrisy

2. 'Enforced peace'??? Wtf. Towards someone who was actually asking mods to shut ppl up who hadn't even referred to them nor broken rules as iy was within keeping of the threads topic? So what response woukd you suggest? Or with asd theory of mind issue whivh I surely have too-
one can forgive a presumption that we all share a hive mind and exact style of communicating to boot. So it is, evidently.

3. You obviously enjoy this and From the get-go I have not. So as before Im done. You Can continue to quote and try and find ways to pull out what you want and have at it. If thats what you think is an effective way towards achieving an improved state of things here


4. stating the same thing again and again is redundant in diff ways esp as you do not wish to believe it is sincere and honest on my end and we obviously do not share the same opinions on this to begin with.

The usual methodology is to generalise all of the individuality out of any account of social interactions, especially considering the paranoia many of us have developed as a safety feature due to not having fitted in and being held socially accountable for which ~ meaning that individual references get instinctively / habitually associated with ourselves or others besides those who you are actually referring to ~ who might be us in other people's reckoning. Not to dissimilar really to as if Agatha Christie’s character Miss Marple stating to room full of people that there has been bullying most sly ~ and someone present is responsible! With some people feeling guilty or others trying to work out who is guilty or else the guilty individual trying to make someone else appear guilty, what with the nature of ‘who-done-it’ crime-thrillers being as they are.


When the ‘Id’ (the protective beast or demon within) takes over defensively one has to learn to reign it in and not to post in anger, so to state that is pure hypocrisy is several shades to far as our best intentions can of course as the saying goes pave the road to hell, but as long as we learn from our mistakes as being retakes rather than punishing ourselves we tend less to make the same mistakes to the same extent again, until we make them no longer at all potentially.


Exchange the unconscious I for the conscious I and benighted wisdom for enlightened wisdom ~ what with an eye for eye and tooth for a tooth making everyone myopic or blind and more prone to starving. Or in other words if one person is behaving badly don’t take the risk of it just being yourself (actually or just in the eyes of others), or else don’t make it two people behaving badly as it may as such even turn into a crowd or even a mob.


The very one you suggested other than getting construed as rude such as exemplified with funeralxempire regarding your brother where you recommended restraint ~ and rather than being sly and playing the victim or such like; learn to be more accordant to your values and those of the Wrong Planet membership requirements also. I mean don’t pander ~ negotiate diplomatically in an open and fair way involving your morality in balance with everyone’s ethical reality, so that your mind set and bodily setting are in tune here without having to be dismissive about or submissive to anybody.


Consider looking beyond that narrative as theory of mind like any theory can be developed, as it is more often the communication impairments involving ‘all-or-nothing’ / ‘black-and-white’ thinking that is the greater problem ~ especially when people imagine one line or perspective of reasoning excludes or disproves another, when in fact they can confirm or prove the validity of the other.


Just as it was imagined I was angry in quasi-moderating funeralxempire’s post, I do not enjoy having to repeat the same information when you are not enjoying it, that gives me no pleasure whatsoever.


I never for a moment imagined that your wish to be supportive and improve things here was not sincere and honest ~ never did I doubt that and never would I support anybody stating that they doubted that either, hence me stating that much to you.

Besides ~ without differences of opinion new combinations of interaction would never come about as their would be no reason to communicate if we all had the same opinion, I mean think about it ~ everything differs in some way or another for very particular reasons.

In nature individuality is not a crime but of absolute and infinite design.

I have a saying and my saying is if you think a kid is a brat, anything they do will be malicious.

That is how I feel about people in general when they have a negative opinion about someone. I suspect it goes on here too when I see weird accusations being thrown around at other members indirectly.

The really sad thing is, for as game as I am, my one co-worker Steve (who isn't ASD, but does likely have bipolar) often comes off more game than I am, and he has kids. For some reason where I work attracts a lot of meathead-ish guys, I think it's caused me to regress (in terms of temperament) compared to when worked in an office.

The theory of mind comment was about you
Still disagree as where I stated what I did was milder than the other person nor was it behaving badly and it was in a thread intended for the purpose and i defended this forum using examples and alternate routes. Not behaving badly by any standards except here apparently
Fin
We part as... Not friends but whatever that means neutral

Vast quote trees will NOT make WP appealing to most who sign up here.

Depth of thought involves making written matter understandable to most who read it.

Isn't harp a cannon?

Thanks for posting this. I've always wondered why the numbers posts were so popular. Makes total sense.
