No more WP for me

Post Reply New Topic

Well? I used to ring door bells and run away!

C'mon guys.. both of you.. quit it. This isn't your thread to rant in.

And especially if actually believe in some of the things that feminists believe in, such as abortion for example.

Alright, if you want to make it personal...

You're a woman yourself, yet you want the option to be a man. Would you get an abortion if you got pregnant?

What about rape victims, should they keep the baby?

And it's not quite so funny if you're the homeowner.

I bet you think that toilet-papering someone's house is the height of hilarity.

Feminists are lots of different things. Some are right a***holes, some are not. Some I could have a beer with, some I wouldn't want within a large distance of me.

Andyou just turned into one of them. Congrats.

Gosh! Anyone who does have OOM's current e-mail please get in touch asap.
I know OOM and she knows me. We talked when I was around but I hardly visited the forums after a good while.
This is going back a couple of years, hope she still remembers.

She's a good internet friend of mine...

Nah, I wasn't whining and I'm nobody's victim. I just got really sick of the crap around here. I wanted to let folks know I was going in case anybody wanted to get in touch with me afterwards. However.....

I couldn't find a decent forum. All the ones with interesting topics were TOO topical and all the general ones were just a bunch of kids or not active. I tried AC but they banned me because they didn't like my opinion on cure, and while I like Asperclick, it's not very active and not at all good at discussion.

I always admit when I'm wrong so I have to say that with all the problems that I see at WP (which may be very different from problems that other's see here) it's honestly one of the best forums I've found. It's got topical stuff and plenty of room for off topic discussion and the debates aren't overly moderated to keep us only "gently disagreeing" and lets the gloves come off to a respectable extent. So, I was wrong. My bad. I wasn't wrong about thinking I would go and find a forum to replace this. My hat's off to here. Really.

I do FB and it's fun but FB doesn't have much room for ongoing discussion of lots of topics like a forum does. When I'm not in the "I'm sick of the internet" mode, I like to get online and participate in lots of conversations like on a forum. I haven't found anything that has the variety that WP has. Yes it's an autism specific forum but it's by no means autism topic exclusive.

So, when I whine I do admit it and I also usually warn people ahead of time that I'm about to engage in some whining and I recognize it and everybody deserves to whine now and then. It's healthy. I'm also not one of the paranoid social justice types either, because they see offense everywhere. I didn't see offense, I saw myself getting frustrated and fed us.

So, OOM eats crow tonight. Really. And there is absolutely no shame in it.

ETA; And yes this means I'm back. I enjoy talking too much to put a sock in it and keep it there for long. I just couldn't find any other place I enjoyed talking like I do here.

Oh, I'm back. See my above post for the explanation.

lol how long did it take you to get banned from AC?

Tell Popeye I said hello... oh wait, that's Olive Oyl.
I guess that's just one more reason for leaving WP. Sorry.

Good to see you once more. Has anybody built a V8 deathtrap out of your Cavalier yet?

About two days. The way it ended was I was in chat with one other person. He brought up cure and asked my position on it. We were calmly discussing it when a mod came in and told me to can it. I couldn't talk about it because it was in a seperate thread that he had locked. We weren't discussing THAT topic, just the general thing. It wouldn't have been a good fit anyway, because all the things I saw here were ten times as bad there.

LOL no that doesnt bother me at all. What would bother me is if somebody chimed in and accused you of bullying me by saying that or saying how it was hate speech toward animated people or some other such crap. I get the joke, and I'm also tall and skinny like Olive Oyl lol. However my maiden name is the same as a common brand of olive oil, and I used to tell people how to spell it by tell them it was like the olive oil.

yep.

welcome back once more, OOM.

Sad but true I guess. I left for a while and couldn't find a better place online than WP. It's a little depressing to have to rely on these forums.
