I think that people in this forum should respect each other. It makes our community look bad when people don't respect the guidelines. The rules are here to keep the forum a place open for everybody to discuss. Harassing people only distances them from you. It looks bad. When you look bad you do not prove a good point to anybody.

And btw. It would be ironic I'd this thread had to be shut so please don't do the above mentioned on here either.

And the guidelines say do not mention other sites, play vaccine wars, spam for other forums.

I see a lack of respect, coming from an Autism Speaks Spam Bot.

Trolls for Civil Rights!

All I am hearing is a blind defense of Madone's many user names, off site trolling, Dissing AFF and their Rights, and posting links to join Autism Speaks.

Now you say we should be Civil?

Your nose is brown.

Wouldn't surprise me if that happened after 8 pages of arguments that go round in circles...
I agree with your point though.

We should be civil. It looks very bad when we are not.

I still haven't quite figured out the madone thing but I have a hunch. If it's what I suspect, and I will know soon enough, I'm going to laugh my head off.

All this intrigue may be a lot sillier than I even suspected. Actually, it's kind of cute.

But yes, we should be civil, it discredits us greatly when we are not.

I have no clue what happened. I can assure you I do not advertise for autism speaks. Read my post more carefully. I was getting people to join to change their minds. You should always be civil. Even if somebody else is not. I am not a spam bot. It seems anyone who proposes a different method of combat is accused of working for autism speaks. I agree with your core values, this argument shouldnt be happening.

I just got to the bottom of the situation. It is, indeed, very silly... and cute, and flattering.

I'm not going to discuss it any further, for obvious reasons, but anyone with a lick of sense can figure it out if they put together all the pieces. If you have an account over on AFF, you have probably already figured it out. There are several subjects you do not want to make fun of if you know my family - the death of my ten year-old sister is at the top of that list.

Please don't use this thread to discuss the matter. I am only posting it because I know a lot of other people were every bit as confused as I was.

If you must have an answer, just PM me.

And please don't pick on Aspie48. He is quite bright and optimistic - and only 15! Where were you at 15?

Your accusations are nonsensical. You are accusing Aspie48 of being an autism speaks crony when he is nothing but. This is nothing more than obsequious and accusatory twaddle.

Perhaps if you went to Autism Speaks, were Civil, Respectful, hat in hand, they would accept your apology.

A Billion Dollars spent on Genetics to Eradicate Autism was just a misunderstanding, they are our friends, and want to help us, if only we will behave.

All we have to do is accept that we are diseased and need to be treated, by experimental treatments, because nothing has worked yet.

Someone should apoligise about Eugenics, I do not think it is me.

So they are really great people, wish us the best, have sharp uniforms, and are friends with China.

They also have declining donations, hits on their web site, and are doing Marketing, ReBranding, a hip and modern message for todays youth!

And HP is a leader in technology.

Whatever you are saying here doesn't mean that you should have a bender at aspie48. He's tried to grill Autism Speaks as much as anyone else here without being a raging manic.

nobody is bowing to autism speaks, quite the opposite. i am trying to get them to change to my views by talking to their members. that is in no way an apology, or even an endorsement of their views. i have said about a hundred times i am anti-cure. i say it again, i am anti-cure. i am anti-quack. i am anti-eugenics. i am against slur filled propaganda. i just believe that through changing autism speaks from bottom up we can accomplish more. i simply do not have the power as an autistic minor to tackle them from top down. when i turn 18 i might try that. so there is an explanation of my position. my track record confirms it. if you can't take that at face value then feel free to twist my statements. i will ignore you if you do that because i can't have a reasonable discussion with people who always tell me i mean the opposite of what i say. that is really all i want to say about this. the rest speaks for itself.
