Don't feed the Trolls. They will drag you down to their level. Then beat you with experience.

They are right, you shouldn't leave yet. It's only the internet, not sticks & stones. (I haven't seen whatever you're referring to.)

Everyone gets misinterpreted & it's OK. The difference here, I think, is that most people can identify with the same feelings etc. etc.

If you ran into a jerk, it's probably one of those people who have nothing to do (or nothing they want to do) so they cruise around the net being mean. Maybe they miss high school b/c they aren't supplied with bully fodder anymore.

And aren't you now the number one contributor in terms of posts) on WP?. And there's noting wrong with the Kinks. One of the best bands ever!

I think it's so awesome that you are a 35 year old Kinks fan.

When I first joined online asperger's community (2001), I got attacked by a bunch of others and called a self-loathing aspie because I want to try to mesh with society as best I can and convert stims into more socially-acceptable-looking behaviors, etc. It was very painful to be attacked by the community like that when I was only trying to build some kind of acceptable life standard for myself -- I've never been able to hold on to a job and I've spent a lot of time homeless and living in sub-standard housing and I just want to have a calm and happy life with a decent place to live and decent food to eat. I see learning to mesh with society as well as possible as the best option for improving my standard of living to something where I can feel comfortable and safe. But I was attacked for that and also attacked for living with a neurotypical partner. One person even tried to break up my relationship and fix me up with a guy with asperger's "for my own good."

I have a lot of baggage attached to the phrase "self-loathing aspie" and I think sometimes (not necessarily all the time) the phrase is used to beat down those who don't toe the party line and live the perfectly politically correct "aspie life" that others think they should.

I have felt that way from time to time, and I have learned that in some cases you have to word things very carefully, otherwise you can be missunderstood easily, (but this is typical of written word anyway) and people can be somewhat judgemental, critical or just plain obnoxious....however; I love the people on here! Some are more difficult to connect with than others and I almost left for the same reasons, but for the most part this site has been way, way, WAY, more beneficial than hurtful. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without it.

Blow off the bullies. This is a great group of people.

Cockney Rebel almost left, and I was very sad because she is definately one of my fav's! Top 3 easily. You never know how people really feel about you and you may be surprised how much you're missed.

I am sorry for your experience here. Some people will feel the need to attack when they feel provoked by someone's opinion and throw the word "troll" around. I also think troll is misused on people who don't agree with someone's opinion.

Thought I didn't see how the responses to his comments were attacks so I guess everyone has their own view on what an attack is.

WP works.

KEEP comin' BACK!

Doesn't matter what forum you go to for any topic the Trolls will come out.
You ignore them and continue to have discussions with people that are willing to present both sides and let others respectfully have their opinions.

But poking and goading trolls can be fun

I never expected support. Thank you.

I am a negative type aspie, I admit that. I do ask questions that may anger people. I may have view that may seem like I'm a troll. I have acted wrong at times - I have to respect other opinions and not get too upset when people dislike my words. I am sorry.

I have aspergers and I am who I am.

I am thankful that people want me to stay, and I understand how others are only to happy for me to leave.

I have learned that I must just speak my mind and push forward with the hope I may grow and learn here. I will stay.

Thank you very much all.

No don't. Making a new account is against the rules and it can get you banned. It falls under "No multiple accounts."

Okay, thanks for the information.

Good choice! And welcome back.

Yes. Indeed. You made the right decision.

I'm very sorry if I said anything offensive or hurtful to Deception....that wasn't my intention.


Like I said....I myself am extremely self-loathing, but I just think I have reason to be whether anyone agrees with my reasons or not.


I just thought Deception seemed to be portraying people with AS as
moral reprobates. It wasn't a personal attack, it was simply my opinion
and maybe I misunderstood what Deception was trying to say.


In any case.....i'm again very sorry....I certainly didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.


I thought some of Deception's statements about people with AS were rather harsh and unfounded. I'm very protective of the non-neurotypical community because for one thing, it's the right thing to do IMO and for another, i'm part of it. Perhaps I go a bit too far with my "protection" sometimes and maybe I made a mountain out of a molehill in Deception's case. I should've just kept my mouth shut....so to speak.

people sometimes just step on each others toes, and well see some people are Trolls, but they are self loathing Trolls & see what was done, they owned up for it and owned their words, just do that, Man!
