I like vacationing in the bahamas but yet, I like to decorate my speech with the F word but some of the locals got peeved. What was so bad about me using the F word while talking?

It was your useage of bad language I believe. Also, you're not supposed to write posts about locked threads. I'd report this but I can't be bothered :cry:

Alright, seriously? I think you're taking this too far. Are you trying to get banned or something?

Edit: You've changed your post - good.
I'm thus changing mine to prevent drama, just remember what was said.

Whoops, sorry about that. Sometimes I'm blind to my own blind spots.

It was an honest question. Sometimes I wonder if this "blindness" of mine is something else other than AS in origin when I'm just trying to get an honest assessment of what makes certain behaviors of mine inappropriate. It seems hard to believe it'd just be using foul language because everyone uses it, and I doubt the bahamas is one giant island of daycare.

I don't think people should freak out over the word f**k. Words are words!

This.

It might do you good to see a professional and get assessed if at all possible. If not, at least go over your difficulties and work out what they might be.

You should understand now, your buddy sent me a PM, and I responded, and hopefully he's passed it on. I didn't really think I'd have to explain this:

Think before presenting us with any more of your nuggets of wisdom.

And think before making any more unsolicited, wildly speculative proclamations about anyone's diagnostic status here. It is not helpful. It is not wanted. It offends, it hurts. You know that now, so there's no excuse. Any more will be interpreted as deliberately provocative.

If someone asks for your opinion on their diagnostic status, then by all means offer it. Without being offensive about it.

Wrong Planet is a support site for people with Asperger's syndrome and those who care about them.

I feel I've given you a series of loud warnings now that you can't possibly fail to heed.

Yes.

I don't know what the stuff about F words and the Bahamas is about.

It seems as though some posts may have been deleted, or else this thread seems very disorganized (as in: I'm lost). But in response to the original question, I do think it is inappropriate to freely use the F word in public. Not everyone likes to hear offensive language. If you are using offensive language, you shouldn't be surprised that some people might become *gasp* offended.

It's disorganized because other threads and private messages are being alluded to. I don't know specifically the threads being alluded to but the PMs involve me... (probably because the OP knows he can get a reaction out of me...)

It makes some people uncomfortable. Too much swearing bothers me too.

??? - Sorry dude, I'm not that clever. If I accidentally PM'd you a message thinking you could help and you're one of my 'foes'(Are you?), then I sincerely apologize.

I suspect you know well what you're doing. And "foe" is too strong a word just as "buddy" is.

Why was I even brought into this?

And if you're saying that I'm one of your "foes" (which is technically what you're saying...) I really don't mind. I only mind it when we're talking about people I actually admire. Not people that PM things that Moog already posted.

But no I don't consider you a "foe".
