Whenever I am new to any specific message board, I tend to annoy the people who are firmly established on it. Have any suggestion on how to avoid angering people?

Stop using words like "fag" for starters.

Reported to the mods, by the way.

Learn how to triforce. Once you can triforce, you'll become an oldfag.

How are you annoying people? If it's the choice of words like fag, stop using it on forums.

And BTW: You need a pony pic, or a puddi pic as your avatar to complete the joke.

That term is prevalent and encouraged on 4chan as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to other users.

This isn't 4chan though, and so Fnord was correct in reporting the word.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

Hey there!

I'd suggest that first of all you familiarise yourself with the rules, so your threads won't be reported.

Hey! I might be posting a topic that is similar to yours! I always flare up when people accuse me of sabotaging their efforts. I'm much nicer online than offline, so you need to put in lots and lots of effort to anger me online.

You didn't annoy anyone in here by writing this. I would like to know what you do or say to annoy people. For me, it's talking to talk and stating the obvious. I also have the tendency to dominate the conversation when I meet others and drive other crazy because they have something they need to say.

this is probably off-topic but I didn't see the word "fag" mentioned in this thread. Do the WP mods edit or delete inappropiate posts?
I'm just curious.
