I definitely have. Even the mods (Except for Ferris and enviro) have walked on me and want me gone. They don't want me to get better and want me to keep suffering.

If it's any consolation, most mods don't think highly of me, either. So I cut back how much I post on here, because the Wrong Planet I once knew is dead and gone. It became very similar to the NT society it once provided a refuge from. I actually have to rely on "passing" skills to appease the popular opinion.

Unless changes are made to re-attract the members that helped build WP, it will go the way of Altavista and MySpace.

Some do come back, if only to lurk. Most likely don't participate because it's hard to have ongoing and meaningful discussions on any subject when both trolls and snowflakes are constantly derailing threads.

Sure, a little humor now and then breaks the tension (see "Blue Nun", above); but why go off on religious, political, and philosophical tangents (for example) when there is already another subforum set up just for that purpose?

I could be mistaken but isn't that how the majority of autistic minds work ? It's how mine works.

It's almost impossible for me to stay on target.

I seem to be almost incapable of staying on track.

My worst detractor hasn't posted in a long time. I hope it stays that way.

I too have a hard time getting back on track once I'm distracted
I can usually get easily distracted in a conversation, and that makes me forget a lot of what I meant to say, both in speech and in writing, even if I'm just writing a letter, PM or post. It's frustrating.

I wasn't speaking for myself dude , that was the opinion of a poster here.

Mental image of you as a dandelion conjures up Captain Jack Black with a petal/fur mane - I need help :lol:

I'm currently in negotiations with Alex Plank to purchase this site and turn it into a pizza parlor.
