Thank you vermontsavant.

I'm about sick to death of this endless argument and am certainly tired of the childish animosity, name-calling and hatefulness it brings out.

I am very grateful that Wrong Planet has moderators that are willing to put their foot down. Over on AFF you can say just about any nasty and terrible thing you want so long as you show no support for Autism Speaks.

Thank you for maintaining civility. I wonder if all this childishness could continue if people were not hiding beneath the veil of anonymity.

If your going to make obnoxious, and hurtful personal attacks at least have the decency to reveal yourself. It is pretty cowardly to do otherwise.
i appreciate that thank you too

Quote:
lulzy
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to: navigation, search
[edit] English[edit] Etymologylulz +‎ -y

[edit] Adjectivelulzy (comparative lulzier, superlative lulziest)

1.(Internet slang) Engendering lulz; comical, amusing, especially in terms of schadenfreude.


Shadenfreude means damage joy. In other words happy that someone has misfortune.

If someone sees the organization bashed or damaged, they could find it amusing because they are happy that the organization is being damaged.

I don't know specifically what Valentine Wiggin or Aspie48 meant by it, but given the context, that is the only thing that makes sense to me.

There was nothing that you said that I can see that would suggest that you took any delight in seeing autism speaks bashed. Based on your statement, I don't think the comment was directed at you on a personal level.
