Treatment of High Functioning Vs Lower Functioning on W.P

Post Reply New Topic

I agree that clearly defining boundaries, clarifications and rules is paramount.  I agree that many transgressions are unintentional but the serious prevalence of trolling demands serious safety measures  If boundaries are clear then innocent mistakes or unintentionally hurt feelings may be significantly lessened...

For example, let us say there is someone who is seriously triggered by improper grammar, incorrect punctuation, and poor spelling.  I mean, this person could go on for several pages over just one omission of the Oxford Comma, making their triggered state a serious matter.  Should everyone then be required to check everything they post against the Manual of Style, the Merriam-Webster dictionary, and Roget's Thesaurus?  Or should this one person be told to simply shut up and deal with it?

[color=black]This brings us back to (a) how those boundaries would be defined, (b) who defines those boundaries, and (c) what exactly those boundaries would encompass.

Definitely, there are people simultanously easily triggered and blunt on WP.

Teach51 and this post is helping me understand in what way I am a troll here and why I do not exist. Apparently my problems here are not genuine and I have been faking them all along here according to some users here and ones who have left. Of course, I already knew this, I have known this for the past 10 years.


I have even been called a fake in high school online because they didn't think I could be that innocent and I didn't even know I was being innocent. I was being myself and I was already being called a faker on the internet. I have also been told online I am naïve and there were people online that knew "This is not a troll, just a user who is naïve." So as a result it would make me a target of online meanness and even on here in the past under my old account.

It's possible all these meanies online thought I was a troll so they got provoked by me but to my view, they were just randomly targeting me because they could see I am different somehow.

But troll is just a over used term and it's become to mean "someone I cannot stand and who I find annoying" and if you don't like someone, don't like their opinion, find their posts annoying because of their OCD or communication or naivete and weak social skills.

And I was listed as a vulnerable member here but apparently that list was discontinued or there was never such a list of vulnerable members and I was lied to about it by a former mod.

I think a vulnerable member can be someone who:

Is prone to doing personal attacks because of triggers and misunderstandings

Is prone to being targeted with sly remarks and trollish responses because of misunderstandings

Is prone to getting trollish behavior from users because of misunderstandings

Easily swayed and taken advantage of

Gullible

Bad reading comprehension so they may make off topic responses or do a straw man or do accusations at another user

Mistaken as a troll for reasons above

And maybe more.


And another thing on here I noticed is, people accuse others of being bullies here but those "bullies" also feel they have been bullied here and think their "victims" are their bullies. So both sides think they are both bullies.
