Aspergers and victim complex

Ain't nothing wrong with being a Liberal per se; ain't nothing wrong with being a Conservative per se. Political ideologies are just that: Ideologies. They are not often rooted in reality.

I agree it's his problem. I can't believe an Aspie would hold these views. Many people rant on forums. I bet he's actually a pussycat with women in real life. This is his "aggressive" part of his passive-aggression.

I apologize for everything I had to do with this digression.

That's why we're Aspies; we doth digress

I am now starting to wonder if the purpose of this thread was more to get at this 'billiscool' poster.....Would anyone be opposed to getting back on topic and not having this thread be about said poster. Or was this thread even meant for actual discussion in the first place?

As for that thread people keep bringing up, I don't see any proof in that thread as to how this poster treats his female not really girlfriend friend....I've ranted about family and people I know on the internet probably not in the nicest of ways, but that doesn't reflect how I typically interact with people. I just don't think you can judge someones entire life by what they post on an internet forum.

But I suppose I'll see if this thread ever gets back on topic.

How can anybody be bullied by a Sweetleaf?

Yeah.. we got off-focus--but that's the fun of some threads: digressions could often a provide an alternative avenue to pursue, which would bring us, eventually, back to the topic.
Sometimes, the flavors we experience on the way are good, sometimes, not so good.

It's true: we became engrossed with Bill's notions; and Bill got engrossed with our notions pertaining to Bill's notions. Bill seems like an all right guy. C'est la vie, Let's move on.

I still believe one must, if possible, transcend their bullied past. Life is about enduring hardship; if we had no hardships, we would have little enjoyment. This is my philosophical outlook. I don't always follow it, of course--but it's an ideal worth shooting for.

Well, hello to you too!

If you would consider carefully my latest thread, you will notice that I sought to bring the topic back to focus.

Your "perception" of me and "my words" does not matter in this context. If I actually allowed "leakage," thus a decrease in this thread's quality, I wholeheartedly apologize.

This is a very contentious topic. Even amid the "diversion" of which I speak, we were discussing the topic. One poster felt like he was being "bullied" because he felt he was being taken advantage of for being "lower-functioning." He made some comments which rankled the women somewhat; they were seen as being sexist. As a result, the other poster was attacked for being sexist and (perhaps)being stubborn.

Afterwards, I listened to the admonition of Sweetleaf, and sought to bring the topic back to its original focus.

Please read my thread carefully. I even made a concerted effort to bring the thread back to focus--PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Please, let's move on. Life is Life. I don't think the "quality" of the thread has decreased any.

Perhaps all of us, together, could find a way in increase the quality--not by attack, but by discussion.

Sometimes, truthfully, levity is a lifesaver for any thread.

I don't know what all the fuss is about, but I really dislike seeing people gang up on one person on a forum. It's like watching a feeding frenzy.

I think everyone should have the opportunity to say what they want to say. But what is the need to keep berating other people for what they post, or how they express themselves, or how they live their lives or whatever? In the end most people don't really care who started it, or who said what. It just feels bad to see it happening.

It's no coincidence that threads like this usually end up focusing on one person. It starts out with a general complaint about the forum, which sets a precedent for judging other people for how they post. Then as the pages go on it tends to zero in one person, almost like they become the scapegoat for all the complaining.

I don't follow enough of what goes on here to know what is behind it all. And I don't want to know. I just know that seeing this kind of thing puts me off of wanting to participate here more. I hesitate to even click on threads because I wonder what kind of arguing will be going on.
