Well, probably not. Keep a good thought.

You people have way more empathy than me.

I was wondering, do you get a warning before you are banned? I unsulted someone on another thread (but I was provoked and she is not an aspie according to her psych anyway) and I would do it again.

Funny how accross cyberspace I can take a quick liking to people and a quick dislike to just 1.

:?

luv yous all ('cept 1) :)

I've seen enfant provocateurs join forums two or three times and in one case nine times (8 bannings), and post the most outrageous attempts to shock. Sometimes they morph, and they start off following the forum rules, and talk about their problems in the style of this flame warrior

http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/acne.htm

and the minute someone disagrees with them or suggests they might be acting self destructively, they go back to the shock mode and get banned again.

I've seen a couple of posters, who have evolved enough to participate in a forum fairly normally after a number of bannings, so I think there is hope for any of them. However some never stop, and will always get banned. It becomes a challenge for them to see how quickly they can get banned. The only way to stop those is to be so vigilant that they get banned before anyone sees or responds to their post.

To be honest I don't think "being unhappy" or "lonely" is a good enough excuse to call new members "art fag" or "ugly".

I don't feel sorry for the guy, what he said crossed the line. If he has personal problems it's not New member's and other members faults.

its not our fault babe, nor our responsibility, but what has happened to him is what all aspies get at one stage or another in their lives..bulllying an drejection for our behaviour.
did he deserve to be chucked?
yeah probably.
should he have been chucked?
the kid needed help and encouragement to find a better way of expressing himself.

read the thread on "satirizing yourself and other " sif you want an example fo whay i mean.
these kids come in here and go off without any knowledge of rules for socisla interaction and they seek acceptance not rejection.
it is up to use to attempt to help them
why?
because we are aspies and we understand them like no one else.
dont reject them, correct 'em.

I think adbatstone was a "flamewarrior"

Follow wobbegong's link to http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/acne.htm then go to the home page, them forums and you see lots of entries like this:

< Trolling I was
http://www.thekidsarentalright.org/foru ... php?t=3558

I used the name "Hugh,Jazz,Soul" now renamed "geust" for being banned. It didn't take long either, I geuss I struck a nerve with the admin. Laughing

Hmm...
You got banned too quickly, because the fish were really taking the hook there, and no matter how many times they said they knew you were a troll, they just had to reply. That could have been a quality trolling bash there. Damn mods.
