Only after you started lumping people together as though they were a team, come on, at least pretend to be honest when you complain.

Oh, it's vague. You're leaving it up to your readers' imaginations.

Point to a violation of the rules or you've got nothing but innuendo.

By not listing names I didn't lump anyone together, they lumped themselves together.

I feel that I have proved what I have said quite satisfactorily and really have nothing more to say about it at this time.

However if I keep being prompted to talk about it, then I will.

Oh, you mean what you said in the last page or 2? People supporting each other when they have similar goals and motivations is not spam, and the moderation quite clearly agrees with me. Next.

I suppose another motivation you may have to throw out these vague accusations is that you thrive on the attention it gets you.

Maybe you should try more pleasant interactions with others. Positive attention may be more difficult to attain, but IMO it’s far superior to the negative attention you’re getting by being rude to others.

It's not that we don't wish to hear what the genie has to say, it's just that the genie hasn't once added anything of value to the conversation - he just tries to shout down the conversation with nonsensical distractions, insinuations and sad attempts at mischaracterization of the other participants and their motives. Whining that conversations you don't like are spam doesn't make it so; if they were spam you'd have success at getting them locked, since you either haven't succeeded or haven't tried you already understand these threads are legitimate and that your complaints are not.

Since you've been very clear about your intention, jokes on the other posters if they continue to respond to you.

Actually a moderator made a post that agreed with me.

And like I said, only those who are guilty are the ones who are getting all upset.

Yes they really should stop identifying themselves basically saying "I'm one of the spammers and you pointing it out really pisses me off". Arguing with me that they aren't spammers and so on. Nobody who's not involved in the spamming has had any such reaction.

You slander people and they're unhappy about it? Perish the notion.

A) it would be libel, not slander. B) I didn't name any names. Certain people however chose to basically identify themselves as who I was referring to. Although I haven't confirmed any of those people are the ones I was talking about. As a side note, I also have been "slandered", by name. My real name even.

If you defame people, they won't like you and they'll express so. It doesn't matter if your defamation reaches a threshold to hold you legally accountable, they're entitled to hold you personally accountable with social sanctions like no longer being friendly or giving you the benefit of the doubt when others make similar accusations, or telling others of their earlier interactions, etc.

If it makes you feel better, you don't have to like people who've defamed you either and are absolutely entitled to sanction them in the same ways; but you should probably stop hijacking the threads they post in to just complain about how they're just spam threads. The only spam is the spam you contribute to these threads.

Honestly, I'm a little ashamed of myself for insisting to goldfish21 that he shouldn't have called you childish, while I don't agree with his formula (considering even NTs mature at different rates and to different extents), I agree with him that you're acting like a child who wants attention from people who don't buy into his superiority complex.

It’s not my formula. It’s Dr. Tony Atwood’s - ASD subject matter expert. Other than that I tend to agree with you. I’m also not upset by it, as EzraS is not as old as others here and can’t be expected to display the same level of maturity.

Ezra most definitely has supporters as well as detractors. I find the comments he makes to be interesting and his posts seem to come from logic more often than from emotion.
