Making it Better: The future of WP

Isabellalinton should be made a mod.

I would second that,but does she want to put in the time on this site?

I thought it was clapping

Wrong.  I know a few people claim that I have mis-treated others.I know that mis-treatment is wrong, but mis-treatment was never my intent.This is either a fantasy or an outright lie -- no one can read my mind.  Either way, this is what I meant when I said to check your own behavior before you check mine.  The charges levied against me are of a few isolated cases, the gaps between which have been filled with presumptions and prevarications regarding my intentions and motivations, as if people were on a campaign to have me banned.

just expressing my perceptions of persons in question ...... not willing to engage in any further discussion on other members just now.

Since there is no singular, absolute definition of human nature, nor any ultimate evaluation of human nature beyond that which we project onto others, individuals may only be judged or defined by their actions and choices, and not by what we imagine their intentions and motivations to be.

I happen to believe known good intentions should be praised.....or at least those with good intentions should be treated less harshly than those with known bad intentions.

'Presume good intent' is an insight Dr Tony Attwood (and John Elder Robison) shared in how to approach most matters..interactions...

for those who have people with autism in their lives (but dont have ASD themselves).

Seems it goes both ways.

Thank you for your (what I believe to be) spiritually elevated views. Not necessarily here only I mean in general


. V grateful for all the various types of personalities here ....

Sometimes a remark on WP is so beneficial in a way I needed (in life off the internet)

So ... should Rev. Jim Jones be praised for his "good intentions" of saving his followers at Jonestown from secular influences, even though he ordered them all to commit suicide, and had people murdered when they refused?

He didn't have good intent. Ive read deeply about this inc first hand accounts from survivord or those who brushed with it but got out in time.

.
He was 100% aware he was doing evil. And enjoyed it. Many examples can be giveb.

I believe such ppl concoct delusions of doing good after the already wrong intent in place in order to be able to live with themselves day to day.

Should we praise parents whose stated intent is to provide the best possible education for their children, even though they may have bribed, coerced, and even blackmailed university admissions officers to do so?

Should we praise the mothers who want to protect their children from the awful state of the World, even though those mothers may bludgeon, choke, drown, shoot, and stab their children to do so?

Should we praise the fathers who only want to spend more time with their children when those fathers kidnap their children and take them far away from their mothers?

Should we praise congregations for their faith in G^D when they rely so much upon Him to heal cancers, viral infections, and other treatable conditions that many of them and their loved ones die from lack of medical treatment?

It seems naive to claim that any one of these "praise-worthy" people should be given a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card just because we imagine they have good intentions -- it is the other side of the same coin when we condemn someone because we imagine that they have bad intentions.

Which is great advice 99% of the time but it leaves many on the spectrum open to abuse if you don't have a healthy dose of reality. It is very rare that the 1% join WP but they can and do. ( I don't believe anyone like that is currently on the site )

I feel like we should take each case individually.

But, in general and in most cases, what I said applies.

sorry to hear that but i was talking in relation to WP specifically.. if there was a discussion in preceding pages regarding this, have not seen this.

Is it safe to assume that you have lived a very sheltered life?

Your assumption is wrong.

What are your intentions in saying this?
