Trust?

Post Reply New Topic

Good lord.

What as*hole idiot called that in.

Its beyond belief what I have just read

how can I trust this community anymore? - You cant. Too many spiteful idiots who try to bring you down to their non-functioning level.

I know this because my trust was soon destroyed here by ONE hate filled cretin. I've not trusted the place since.

My thoughts here, nothing to add... but a ty

I wish that very person would come forward and contact me, but that's probably too much too expect...

Too easy to cry wolf, why bother having common sense and just ask?

Disgusting...

@answeraspergers: ah so good to read someone else who is down to earth, sometimes I doubt there are still many left...lol...and sorry for apparently something similar happening to you too
I will not ever understand what motivates such people to as you rightfully said bring others down to their level and I bet they pat themselves on their shoulder for doing so, bathing in the glory of self-righteousness

I wrote a book. I posted it in my sig but also made a thread saying anyone can have it for free and it also gives an email address for comments/feedback. They said nothing.

After an argument here - some a***hole wrote a fake one star review saying I thought i was a doctor - despite it stating quite clearly I'm not. It says in the opening part - I've learnt this myself from lay research - I'm not a doctor. They basically believe my book should have addressed the thread of discussion and it didnt. They complained I only reported the pro side of aspergers (the thread was about this) because they like everyone else to feel as crap as they do.

I hoped ethics and aspergers went together - apparently its just me.

I have much to be arrogant about but i refuse - its too ego based for me.

After this I have refused to release the next ones.

I can accept bad reviews - if they are honest and not prejudiced. Incidentally the reviews from others were all good and this includes strangers.

I accept its not perfect but its a good first book imho.

Nothing contradictory there . . .

Correct.

Have you considered it may come from other people telling me rather than a deluded sense of self-esteem?

Thanks for the quick illustration of the "drag others down" principle.

I think its sad that I find see more respect, love and acceptance on forums dedicated to fighting than here.

This is a place where we should raise each other up not drag each other down. Dont people who post here have enough hassles in daily life as it is?

Don't mean to drag you down, the irony was just too much for me. I don't know you, so I have no judgement about you.

There is no irony.

You assume ego based functioning I worked my ass off to get beyond.

I'm actually a self-loathing type at times - not arrogant. But if the things that happen to me happened to some NT people I know - they would be lost up their own backside forever.

I like humble talented people - like top boxers, tennis players and olympians. Talent/ability + humility = respect from me.

I'm not sure what ego based functioning is. I googled it and was directed to a psychology essay that I couldn't make heads or tails of. I am going to speculate that it has to do with being aware of other people as separate beings. Theory of Mind? I have struggled with this myself. I have to constantly remind myself to look at things from other people's perspective.


Me too. I am getting better at being patient with myself, but my first reaction to difficulty is always that I have failed somehow. This has led me to a lot of self-destructive behaviour.

I think life will always be a series of trials to overcome, but so be it.

Very true.

I dont want to derail the thread too much - but ego based functioning is basically a total lack of observing ego. Essentially it is the challenge of aspergers to cultivate that skill. That is the only skill that allows growth and change - without it - you repeat errors endlessly.

To the very person reporting me to the authorities, just to know of what you have achieved:

Traveling for me will be hassle at best from now on, impossible at worst.

Making a holiday trip by plane? Will be troublesome from now on. Visiting old friends in the US? I guess that's over for me now.

I stood up all my life for values like human rights, civil liberties, dignity and respect of your fellow next human.

I vented my frustration about those values ignored and disdained so much in our world.

Now the autorities have a file of me, labeling me a potential threat.

Quite possible that there might be a lawsuit against me, and that I might get a conviction, branding me as criminal. Plus a hefty fine of course.

What a saddening irony...

This is a disgrace.

WP - or its unvetted trolls are screwing people over.

This is by far the most ignorant spite filled hate based forum I've ever seen.

I'm pretty angry about this. Its the opposite of what people need. Even NT people know better than this.

And yet you're still here.

Yes, I wont be dominated by hate. ever

Why not just leave? It's not being dominated, it's saying "I don't believe you are worthy of my company".
You're the one who is choosing to associate with hate filled simpletons.

I'm very thankful our autorities here acted so far calm and with common sense.

If two weeks have passed since my rant and all I got so far was a subpoena for an interview, that alone says something imo.

The police officers treated me respectfully and friendly, I'm very thankful for that.

The have never seen me before, and did not demand (yet) that I hand over the gun. Again, this speaks of itself, imo

My hope is that this whole incident will be dropped, but of course, I do not know what will happen.

Yes, I'm a bit frightened now, hoping for the best, fearing the worst.

Time will tell.


And guys, please don't fight each other and calm down. What good can come from that? Doesn't my mishap show only too clear the possible consequences?
