I personally find the posts by World-planet participants both insightful and informative.

I can't help but think.... quite a few questions could have been answered if 'those in the world' would have been a bit more compassionate, patience, and took the time to listen and teach folks.

Like i stated im not necessarily trying to complain, Im asking an honest question about if i feel diffenently than others. It has sense anwsered my question that I am alone in my opinions.

Not to be rude but I do not understand what this has to do with the subject.

Well, in this case it has been made out to be manipulated by either party, (her husband, or friend). She should have made her own decision. There are still ways to go to the police even if your reporting a dirty cop. If all else fails honestly I think she should kill him as a self defence. Unfortunately some areas still charge you in these self defence cases but if her children were involved then she made the correct decision in sacrificing jail time for her childrens safty.

There are reasons a lot of reasons behind issues and you have no place to judge a mothers actions.
You're as bad as my ex, saying i am a bad mother because i have post natal depression!! ! Well you know what heres some negativity for you right in the face SCREW YOU!! !


Does post natal depression make you not defend your children? If it does then I would say that does define bad parenting. A good parent will be willing to sacrifice their own well being for the sake of their childern. Is your father abusive to your kid then you do need to get out of the situation. Personally if I knew someone who was severely abusive I would feel honored to cut their eyes out and shove them down their f***ing throat. :)

Have you ever tried to report a cop? I've seen videos of people trying to report cops to test the station, nearly every time they get lied to, handcuffed, abused, and arrested. Hell sometimes the cops put them in the hospital, or threaten to shoot them.

You can't kill a cop "in self defense" its the crazy lady who just murdered her husband and cop vs an entire station of cops.
She'd be lucky to even make it to court alive.

I was beginning to wonder myself if Wrong Planet was the place where fun went to die......

I think it's the whole Us and Them thing that irritates.....like ever thing that happens is some sort of conspiracy to piss off the AS person.

Kinda violent, eh? And no, having postpartum depression does not equal weak parenting. Sometimes if I'm having a crummy day and see a topic header that sounds depressing, instead of getting irratated I'll just avoid the post entirely. Out of sight, out of mind.

Hard to tell if something is negativity or reality.

Also, people with ASDs and other mental disorders will have a lot more things to be "negative" about, as it goes with the symptoms; also again, some people might need a place to vent their frustrations, so enter a "support" forum.

I find "positivity" to be annoying when it's counter to reality (that would be blind positivity then).

Well at first I wasn't going to bother clicking on it and then I decided to. You asked a question so I answered it. Yeah, of course you have your rights and you stated it but you also asked a question so people answered it with their own opinions.

Yeah, I think it's a troll too, and went to post it in the Mod thread and saw someone else already did.

I dislike too much whining as much as the next person, but I also know that some people need to vent, and also that most people don't whine just to whine, they actually do feel helpless, weak, unwanted, etc. If I can't say something to make them feel better, I usually don't say anything.

I think people decided it's trolling because the posts that the OP has made are all sweeping generalisations about people with AS, or people who behave in a certain way.

To the OP, hey, if you don't like the wining posts then man up and ignore them.

Thank you, beholders are one of my favourite fantasy monsters. In 2 days I'm getting the start of a tattoo which will have a beholder in it kinda like that one. The first part is cleric paladin thing. Yes I'm that much of a geek ;)

inb4 "you said you were done with this thread" - off-topic is different ;) Also if somebody comments on something like that I think it's rude to not reply.

I would say that if you don't like the tone of a thread then you are free not to participate in it. This is a site with a disorder that makes interactions with other people difficult for those who suffer from it. It is a cause of much pain for many who have it. Naturally then, it means there will be a fair share of negativity here. However, if you want to read positive things then there is nobody stopping you from posting them. After all, forums as a general rule are made up of the people who post on them.

I see no problem with this thread, and I don't see any trolling.

Others vent their frustration here, why can't the OP do the same?

It's funny because in other threads (especially in the Haven), criticizing an OP or offering advice that's isn't of the patronizing/ass kissing variety is often frowned upon. This thread seems to be the opposite. Everyone's knocking the OP for sharing a valid observation. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Personally, I don't mind people venting any sort of frustration. What I'm not big on is attacking/dismissing others who offer responses that don't humor an OP. I don't like being patronized, and I wouldn't want to do the same to anyone else. But in some places, on some threads, anything short of humoring the OP is immediately chastised.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: If there is any benefit to having Asperger's, it should be our ability to rise beyond that. To speak our minds freely with one another. To not have to walk on egg shells for fear of offending, or being assumed to be trolls/a**holes for not giving some PC response. It's hard enough having to appease the NTs, because this is exactly how they operate. If this site really is a haven, we should be above this neurotypical nonsense.

Those are my feelings.
