Banned from WP

['andersom']

Autism Speaks is never going to let you be a mod if you keep that up.

And to think, WP might in the future start restricting or out-right banning all anti-Autism Speaks talk. Alex can ill-afford soured relations if he is getting money from them.

If Autism Speaks is smart, they will let the anti Autism Speak language be on WP. Not chasing people away, making it look that it isn't that bad. That in fact they are really nice people. And then slowly flood the place with more and more pro Autism Speaks posts.

If they silence the anti-AS stuff, they then become an oxymoron, because WP is there for autistic people to be able to speak in a community, however fucked it is, and to silence said autistics, then they are taking away their voice. They can't have it both ways, but money has done stranger things.

Silence by cuddling.

Consistency and decency are not prereq's for them to be taken serious by the mainstream media.

Ahh... politics. Bullshit of the smelliest callibre (hey, I used it before but fuck it).

Ah yes true, but the question is, are they that patient enough? Although they could 'plant' users from their organisation into WP, and slowly social engineer (PsyOps) the entire forum. That is plausible. The benefit of course is no need for censorship. By turning the sentiment enough, the userbase itself will alienate those not towing the line into submission or fleeing. I'm surprised they haven't actually tried that yet, it's within their dirty style.

If they go too fast with bringing Autism Speaks in, they will alienate a lot of members. If they go really slow, a lot of members will stay.
Play the weak point of most posters, they don't like changes. So, they won't like leaving. Make the changes that slow, that the members stretch their boundaries of what they find acceptable time and time again. And that will change how the members view things too over time.
If they are smart at Autism Speaks, they would think troll like.

[ProfessorFarnsworth]

And who knows, maybe we're inadvertently giving 'them' ideas.

I wonder if they do have people prowling forums for viable 'targets' for their propaganda.

But they aren't smart.

WP hasn't been about giving the autistic people a voice in a long time. All you need to do is to mock or disagree with the glorious leader and you are history. A bonus is that you still receive their spam in your email inbox.

I2 is more about giving the spazzes a voice than WP is, although I (along with the people who founded the place) would say that we are more about enabling them.

Here comes the Godwin's Law...



Alex Plank is NOT autistic, he is a sociopath!

[odeon]

I'm pretty sure he is autistic, actually. Doesn't mean I have to like him.

You mean Dunvic law.

Thread is over, someones diagnosis has been questioned.

dunc's law only applies to real aspies anyway. So Alex fails on both accounts.
