I have to agree with Fnord that the way these discussions develop, often there is a remove of four or five people from the OP. It's an intellectual exercise, and I'm not saying intellectual masturbation, either. Views of autism and mental illness are discussed from different angles. We do have the Haven for people who can only tolerate supportive posts, but this thread was started in General Autism Discussion. Marknis knows the rules and knows about the Haven. Instead of telling Fnord to back off, why don't mods remind Marknis of our "safe space" as a better place to hang out.
Do you see any other mods ? No ? then it's just me in control , don't tell me how to my job , I'm doing fine until I'm not , then I will be removed
And quite frankly that is a scary post Bea. Read it again to yourself.
1. While composing my reply, I could not remember which mod was talking to Fnord. Sorry, sometimes my memory isn't so hot.
2. Whose post is scary? Fnord's quoted post or my quoted post?
Your post, which seems to imply that a poster is fair game if he doesn't post in The Haven.
Just because a thread is not in The Haven doesn't give you a license to torment the OP.
Maybe it's me , if someone told me to f**k off as my advice was not wanted , I would.
( except of course in this case where I am trying to moderate without moderating )

It is not my intent to distress the OP. If he wants to say he's distressed, that's his choice, too.

I can't do that , I'm a rent-a-mod , maybe another mod will if the OP requests it. If he doesn't request it , the thread will stay and we will be at loggerheads with each other ( as members )

I've read it over three times and can't see anything scary about it. I'm not threatening anyone. I'm not insulting anyone. What on earth is scary about it?

Not that long ago - less than one year I'm sure - the gut dysbiosis fellow.

Still no answer to the original question.

Basically , I read your post as saying
If it aint in the Haven you have to put up with unsupportive posts from you.
I need to get off Fnords back for getting on Marknis back.
And I need to tell Marknis to f**k off to the Haven as you are going to pick on him relentlessly until he does.

The truth is that The Haven was set up specifically to provide a safe place for people to avoid unsupportive posts.SaveFerris wrote:

Since I haven't been figuratively or literally on his back (only responding to other people's posts), then getting on my back for being on his back may not be appropriate.SaveFerris wrote:

The suggestion was made to move his threads to The Haven, not to "f**k off" as you put it. There is no threat to "pick on him relentlessly", either. As has been pointed out, he seems to feel he is being picked on whenever someone suggests that he actually do something to improve his situation.Now, this could be a wrong assumption, but I don't see any mods "getting on his back" for lying about threats against his life, for lying about people talking behind his back, and for generally lying about what his "detractors" have said about him.
Although I could be wrong (which I sometimes am), but it seems that he is getting more slack for what he says anywhere on this website than most people get for what they post in PP&R. This is one of the reasons why I think he would be better off to have his threads moved to The Haven, where just such an environment is encouraged.
Finally, I apologize if this post offends you, but I felt the need to remain involved in a conversation that includes me.
