I've been banned from Aspie Village..
« on: February 15, 2009, 10:39:44 AM »
for linking to the amazon page for a book the moderator wrote, and laughing at the price and the negative review on the page.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asperger-Social-Guide-Situation-Aspergers/dp/1412920248

They're upset because its only a year since of the suicide of the other writer, Genevieve.  I should have thought of that, but I didn't think.    I never said anything insulting about the book, just that the review made me laugh.

I'm sorry that it happened to you, Mutate.

I searched AV but I couldn't find what you said, so either it is where guests can't see it or it has been deleted.


My first instinct would be to suggest that you contact Dean and tell him that you meant no offense to him or Genevieve in laughing at the review, but I don't know Dean so I don't know how he would respond to that.

I know when someone was very angry with me I tried apologizing to him.  However, I guess he twisted what I said in his mind and he said that I was trying to be patronizing when I wasn't, so what I said only made him angrier.

I have that book. It's not very good.

::) You're still on about that?

I said that because apologizing might not be Mutate's best option, depending on Dean's personality.

Do you have any other suggestions?

For Mutate? Not really. Wait a week or two and then kiss their asses until he's let back in, I guess.

I think you're either stubbornly oblivious to the effects of your words, to the point of stupidity, though, or else you're quite aware and just pretending you're not for some reason of your own.

Maybe they banned you because they are disgusted with their own symptomology.

I'm saying the latter; she's a devious bint.

At least you're upfront about it, Py. :P

*shrug* Not that it will do much good. She already decided not to answer. And I'm unlikely to do Ozy-style passive aggressiveness for long enough for it to have any impact.

My real problem, though, is the way she once told me I could talk to her about anything, and then did her cold shutdown routine when I pursued it. That's the kind of offer that implies caring, trust and emotional openness, which unlike what some may think, I am occasionally receptive to. I do not think she is capable of carrying through on that promise. Therefore she should not have made it. My trust was betrayed, albeit in an indirect and probably unintentional way. But betrayed nonetheless.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't give a shit that she was purer-than-thou except as a scientific curiosity.

That's like an info-mmercial script, with wild, unsupported claims. They just need a battalion of smiling bobbleheads to spout the lines for them between squints, while they amateurishly handhold cameras in unmoddified daylight, using busy, noisy streets as backgrounds.
I'd buy it then for sure!

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
