Like a blister in the sun.

The banned poster set out to cause wreckage and counted on the folks here to take his complaints at face value lest they be seen as not giving support to a fellow autist in need.

If it looks like a troll, walks like a troll and sounds like a troll, its a troll. Don't be a schlemazl.

A lot of people on WP seem to be freak magnets.

I thought we weren't supposed to discuss banned members here?

For me it was too believable.

Same, kinda.

Only kinda because I'm not likely to modify my reactions because someone is one of us.

Penises, testosterone, being socially-adept, having managerial positions, you name it.
I can spot them a mile away.

We're not, really. The guy irritated me by suggesting that autism should be cured in another thread he posted about Autism Speaks (which has now also been deleted apparently). I thought that he was just more misguided than an actual troll though. Enough said. I don't want to talk about him anymore, given that he's been banned.

Maybe we should add these traits to the Red Flags thread.

<<--- referring to bullying or having autistic meltdowns.

Without reiterating what happened, the lesson here is that lots of people are victims of bullying. Lots of people have PTSD for various reasons and they deal with trauma on a daily basis. That doesn't give any person the right to take it out on innocent others, or to generalise. That's exactly why trauma recovery is so difficult: Our instincts want to retaliate against any reminders as a coping mechanism. If you get bitten by a dog you'd likely be scared of all dogs. It's not that easy when it comes to trauma from people. We can't be scared of all people because of the actions of one. We can't blame all people by using generalisations. This is how bigotry starts and it promotes a cycle of hatred which can be catastrophic to entire segments of society via misogyny, misandry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, or even ableism (NT vs ND).

Spreading the propaganda online only fuels others to feel the same way and promote more dangerous thinking. It's OK to help someone who has been bullied, much like I tried to do in the start by asking questions, but it's not OK when those bullied people use their victimhood to attract followers and convey a sense of entitlement for mistreating and blaming others. I've been abused by men, women, and trans, as well as NT and ND people. I could get a lot of sympathy if I tell my story. I could easily take it out on everyone but no, I deal with trauma instead. That trauma is specific to the people who hurt me and not to the world at large.

I wish I was when I was single. I like high-maitenance women depending on the ways they're high-maintenance. I cant do finachially due to being disabled but I like women that need lots of attention & reasurance probably cuz I'm kinda the same way. As for as freak, that term is very relative so I would need to know the exact ways someone is a freak to comment.

That was literally sh***y.

I did ask him there what was the “weird” behavior, I didn’t get the chance to see his reply. Hopefully it is not related to… ew.

That's my assumption. Although even amongst NT it can be very hard to tell sarcasm on the internet. It puts us on a bit more of an even playing field in terms of social interactions. Also, we can edit things before posing.

I saw them in concert once. I think they were having a bad show, or perhaps Cake just that good. But, I still love the song and winded up being college roommates with somebody else in the crowd years later.

Lately, it's been one of my go to tunes if I need an unusual beat to stim to.

Honestly, I do hope he was trolling, because if any of that was genuine, I just feel bad for him.

And, policy or not, I do generally agree that it's best not to spend too much time dwelling on those that have banned. There's rarely anything good that comes of it.

I felt bad for him but just saw the one post.
