Walkie's Third Landing (Introducing Anselme)
« on: February 05, 2011, 12:50:56 AM »
"Aww no NOT another intro thread by Walkie. Do we really need this?"  I hear you say

Ummmmm...well I do have good reason, bear with me a mo.  FIrst let me apologise for neglecting this site somewhat. The truth is,  I've been perseverating elsewhere. And whilst perseverating elsewhere I metaphorically ran into an avatar by the name of Anselme (yeah, it was on an MMORPG) and we talke and talked some more and then some more, like ya do. And it transpired that his brother is an Aspie. And we talked a bit mpore and then more and...well the long and short of it is that this guy is genuinely interested in trying to see things from his brother's perspective...and might be more than half-Aspie himsel , come to that.

Anyway, i intoduced the poor uneducated lad (not his fault )  to a few Aspie tems like NT and yeah, " perseverating" ofc; and a few novel ideas like : "NT's Lack Theory of Mind. That's Why They Bully Autistics" (OK, that's my own theory, but c'mon it 's obvious isn't it?) and finally wound up suggesrting that he join an Aspie Site.....but not Wrong Planet ofc, which leaves.....ahhh Intensity!! So, well, having issues the statutary heath warning, i sent him a link andnow  he's half-way registrered . But I dunno what he's chosen to call himself here :LOL: I forgot to ask.

So anyway this thread is NOT to introduce me, but to introduce...erm, whatsisname.

Be kind to him


Walkie :)

EDIT: Now that i know the he's called himself Anselme here too, have modified the title of my thread
NOTE to Anselme: do post your very own Intro thread. This is not intended as a substitute!

I have just approved Anselme's account and so hope to see him post soon. :)

Good to see you again too.

Hi Walkie.

It's great to see you again.

Do you think Anselme will post, or do you expect him to just lurk?

He can see more if he posts.

Hey! Callaway :)

My prediction is that he'll lurk for a while, then post reams, probably in the following two forms:

A) curious questions directed at our Aspie denizens (and i do hope that we'll all give sincere and helpful answers)
B) bitter criticism of various British instutions eg the so-called National Health Service (nice example of Doublespeak  :LOL:)

I didn't know that!  Hmmm/ Which bits of this board are you unable to see if you don't post?

Welcome, to both.

For someone interested in learning, wp is a good resource.

Fair point. But first he should come here to find out what he's getting into. This thread sums up the problem with WP pretty nicely, IMO:

He can see about only a few more boards than he could see as a guest if he just lurks, but he can see almost everything after ten posts except for the Elder's Forum.

Ah, ty for the info, Callaway.

Re the elder's Forum (formerly world council). I think I better quote what I just posted there,so others ouside the Council can read it
Hey Guys!

FOR THE RECORD:

Just noticed that the controversial decision to invite me into the WC still stands. Thank you

However, as I've not been a frequent visitor these past 3 years, I think it only right that I take a backseat.  I will take an active  part in WC if and when I feel that my involvement in the site justifies this

Hope you've managed to sort out the differences of opinion  by now and come to a reasonable compromise

As I said there, you were invited to join the World Council following the rules that were in place at the time you were invited, you were grandfathered in as an Elder as all members of the WC were at the time the WC ceased to be the decision making body of Intensity, and there is absolutely no reason for you to recuse yourself.

Actually, the NHS nearly killed my Dad, AND made his last days really miserable. But I'm lucky. Other people's families HAVE been killed by NHS. And yours has done worse things? Such as?

EDIT: PS but better start a new thread for that one  :LOL:

He can see more if he posts.

You should also make the point that posting here is a bit like sex with a porn star. It's fun to watch, but more fun to participate.  :thumbup:
