Is it that guy the used to be on Laverne & Shirley as in Lenny & Squiggy?
You demonstrate exactly why this is something one can't respond to.
Because no one other then me even knows what Squiggy is! The short version of it is that he's a very silly evil god that probably eats people, and doesn't exist.
It wasn't my idea originally, but I took it to bizare (and obvious) places.
Pretty much he's the center peice to a farce religion.
And donkey, I ment I wanted forum nemisi (what is the plural of Nemesis?). Actually getting into a real fight would be crazy.
Oh I don't mean because I'm tough or anything. I'm just a really cheap psychotic freak. I'm serious, I've dropped rocks from Orbit on numerous cars owned by members of the UN. What kind of nut case builds devices to drop rocks from orbit with pin point accuracy (a brilliant one obviously, but also a crazy one. Also obviously)

Post alot of ignorant things about topics and act like you know what you're talking about, then people who are real experts will get rilled up and there you have it, a post!
Seriously I've had that kind of problem alot on Forums, I mean the whole idea is to talk, even if you look stupid you should just say something, anything, and if you mess up, it doesn't matter because this is just a website and there are millions more out there (Advice not to be taken by annoying ars**oles).
I also tend to read alot of posts I don't intend to reply to, don't know why, but yeah, I agree with the pro NT sentiments considering I have alot of NT friends.
And lastly, if anyone's interested in talking even if we don't share the same interests, that's fine by me as long as you don't hold any grudges against a particular group of people we should get along fine.

Yes! This is true. I don't bash NTs; I bash contemporary social institutions. Those are the real problems.

People dont respond to my postes when there a bit to much off topic. I once went to a website with a forum where everyone judged you either mature or imature good grammer or bad grammer and everyone treated me as immature (I know I am not mature but I dont think of myself as immature) people always focusses on the bad sides of other people. Also there was a huge invisible wall between mods/admins and normal members. When people had somthing rude to say they just couldent keep it to themselfs. the founder of the forum is always acting like a wimp there are people quitting and bans almost all the time and yet there where 10 new members every day. When I saw this place one day I thought this looks like a place where (almost) everyone treats each other with respect. But I do agree with you that there are probably NT's here somwhere that just cant understand the measege "This place was made for aspise's and that little atitude in there head that say's "I know theres know way I have a disabilty but NO ONE tells ME what to do". Ok that might be a little off topic but I got it off my chest.
aww. Don't feel bad. I know where you're coming from. I went through the same exact thing when first registering at wrongplanet.
A bit of advice: Stick around in the random discussion forum. This is a great place to get to know people.
As for the bit about people beeing NT's: Remember that people with AS require more time when under the process of developing any kind of relationship – romantic, friendly or even over the internet. Cut us some slack – it's as hard for us as it is for you. When I was new on these boards, I used to spend a lot of time obsessing over what to write in my posts (still do that sometimes). People will eventually become more comfertable in your "presence", and that will give you the opportunity to warm up to them. (or at least give them a second chance)
But I give you my sympathy. I hope you can overcome some of these issues. I for one, would enjoy having you around.
Yeah, I was thinking about this a bit after posting.
I know in real life it takes me a while just to get used to someone enough to start having natural conversations with them.
So the same principle may apply to the people who post a lot on here. People read all those posts and become familiar with them, and are more likely to respond.

how bad red food coulouring is and what it can do to people
it makes aspies crazy and the chemicals that make the die
really afect the brain and about carmine (the crushed up beetles)
it's like no one took me seriously
it wasent ment to be funny!
and when i posted about Zombo.com i only got
1 reply! if a moderator posted it would have
gotten tons of replys!
why am i so unpopular! the way we are acting here
is NOT how aspies should be.
and if people look at this with out adding any replys
they will all be on my hate list!
this place isent as wounderfull as it sounded like
i'm gonna find a new aspies forum!
with REAL aspies!
Well, if it helps I sometimes feel like all the other aspies think I'm weird. I was very timid when I first started posting on forums because I have like zero experience really being self expressive in a social group, even if it is "just" on a forum.
I read your posts and I thought you seemed great. I am middle aged but I could relate to some of your posts. I thought to myself, well there's a girl I'd like to have known in high school. The post about embarrassing moments was hilarious. I have noticed that sometimes when people write really good posts no one responds for awhile because they don't know what to say that is witty or articulate in response. I'm not saying that I am witty and articulate, I'm saying that I have seen that sometimes a particularly good post will end the thread and then no one posts because they don't know what more there is to say. I think people probably enjoyed your posts and didn't know what more to say. I'm sorry I didn't respond, I started to write a response to you on the embarrassing moments thread and then I thought that whatever I wrote would just be inane compared to your hilarious post, so I gave up and deleted what I started to write. I'm middle aged, but your posts remind me of the one and only friend I had through college. I admire your honesty in the post above and I hope you don't leave.
