I would like to say that most of the younger crowd does make me feel welcome. It's two females who seem sarcastic who almost made me throw in the towel. One's 19 and one's 16. Most of you do make me feel welcome. I've made so many social mistakes here today and I will never mention my post count again, in order to protect my own feelings.

I'm not just a dumb drummer. I use my heart more than I use my head. Drummers are like that.

None of us are perfect.

I agree. Well, there are some people who think they know it all, and those Mr and Ms Know-it-Alls think they are better than anyone else. I just happened to lock horns with a guy here in Wrong Planet who did not agree with my opinions, and though I felt humiliated by their tirades against me, I decided to take it to the PM level.

Mick, we appreciate you a lot. Just because there are a few a-holes here, it doesn't mean that Wrong Planet is a bad place to live. I refuse to deal with the negativity here, since I have too much negativity in real life, and strive to help make WP a better and happier place to be.

I'm going to follow your lead and strive to make WP a better place for everybody as well. I want everybody to feel welcome here. I'm also going to stay and I'll keep posting as well. I feel that I have a lot to offer to this site. The next time somebody starts talking about me but not to my face, I'm just going to ignore them and not take it to heart. If I ignore the offender, they won't get a reaction from me and they won't have any fuel for their fire. I've stayed for this long and I refuse to leave or quiet down because of that. I've been doing so well, ignoring such comments. What happened?

Could it have something to do with the many ASD impostors? From my (highly limited) experience, ASD impostors assume that malingering (pretending to have the condition to gain attention) automatically allows trolling (even though most of us do not troll), and I managed to take care of a few this (American) morning. Although I know your experience lately has been with the less troll-like users, malingering is still a problem and a mental condition of its own.

It has a lot to do with them. I can pick out a couple of impostors who keep on starting threads in General Autism, though I won't mention names. They make about 5 threads a day asking very personal questions about what it's like to be on the spectrum and one of them demands answers without saying anything in their opening posts.

I really do hate it when those fools post a lot. It is very difficult to drive a troll out of a forum because that kind of response could be what the troll wants in the first place. If they want to be intelligent, surely they can do so without faking a mental condition just for the attention. In hindsight, I think I may have naïvely answered a few of those questions against better judgment.

Hmm... that makes me remind of someone that "advocates" a "cure for autism" and flames other users who are against their stances. I called "troll" on that one. Of course, I'm not going to drop names, although I am highly tempted to do so.

Anyway, let's not mind those evildoers and let's make WP a better place to be.

The quiet treatment works well on trolls. Simply warning them the first time and bringing a moderator the second time seems to be effective at removing trolls without angering oneself too much.

ADDITION:
Here I am, a moderate AS, adding yet another symptom to my diagnosis. I wish there was an AS adolescent with my special interest and level of dedication, but that would be like looking for a clone.

Ok, Facebook, I get it. Alexander tagged that photo of me. You don't need to send the notification 3 times.

Well, random people are adding me on Facebook. And there are not friends, family, or Wrong Planet buddies.

Well, you may be right. I wonder, though, if non-WP members have access to these links. I suppose most topics are public, now aren't they?

Of course they do!
I'm assuming that what I see on your page is set for public viewing - I mean, I can see it and I haven't even friended you

You have? And it's on public viewing? Oh, no. Thanks for telling me. I'll check it out.

If negative events in life are character building, my character should be 600 storeys high by now.

Yeah, that's what I've thought. My FB profile is set to Friends of Friends, so if one of your FB contacts is my contact as well, there'll be a chance you get to see some information.

Wait, why am I discussing this here?

I've seen some pretty interesting things in the dark upon my 4 AM awakening. I had to shut all the doors so I couldn't see the dark spaces of the trailer.

Well, I doubt any of my friends would be friends with you, considering that they're all 7,000 miles away from you and all

Ok, I stand corrected - two of my friends are friends with you
If you wanna know who, send off a PM.
