British Aspie site

[Tom/Mutate]

If that inspires you to get your own viewpoint heard on your own local council, to give a more 'balanced'/drunk/drugged?? AS view, that's all the better Dunc 

lol.  i must admit, I laughed at loud at that.

[duncvis]

'Open minded' and 'rational' rather than 'prejudiced' and 'making blanket assumptions based on flimsy evidence' I was thinking, actually. I had to LMAO at the second bit though - I've been working to provide a voice for auties who want to make changes online, as well as advocating for my son at local level and helping make local service providers aware of other perspectives.

Oh and are you sure they have the intelligence? Thats an AS trait surely? AS = good, NT = bad/anything Esme doesn't like.

[esme456]

Having somewhat rigid views isn't mutually exclusive to having intelligence
(Apologies I thought you mean was I sure I had the intelligence lol)

I'm open to modifiying my world view, but just cos you have different views to me doesn't mean I should just jump ship and take on your views wholesale imo

Hey, I made Tom laugh and he's been feeling down lately, so I can't be that bad!   

[esme456]

When I said a lot ofthat stuff about the AS/NT dichotomy I was trying to defend the AV site from invaders as well
and beign cheeky deliberately

In fact I was astonished that some people got offended by what I said - I don't believe a lot of the crap I spout, I just say it for comic effect a lot of the time lol

I'm playing to the crowd a lot of the time, imagining what will make people laugh

It's posting as performance art! 

All my bfs have been NT, so I don't hate them

I used to wind one bf up something chronic by spouting the NT stuff tho - he hated the term
and it became 'the word that cannot be said' lol

But the term AS was pretty much the same ie he was embarrassed by it and said 'It's not something to boast about is it?!'   

[duncvis]

Nobody expects you to take on their views wholesale, any more than I would change my world view to adopt someone else's -  but opening your mind a crack, recognising your prejudices and questioning your assumptions is always helpful.

And I didn't say having rigid views precluded intelligence, I expressed mock disbelief that you hadn't claimed intelligence for the aspies as a desirable trait, considering that you tend to proclaim all behaviours/attributes you disapprove of as 'NT'.

Yay for making Tom laugh anyway.

Because of stupid, gung-ho bastards like yourself.

Ive explained this before

a) It's not my site so I don't make the rules

b) I assume it's because it keeps things relatively small and manageable

Look at WP - anyone allowed and chaos/bannings/emnity appear to reign

Whereas AV hardly ever has bannings and we all love each other

(well perhaps not but it doesnt get anywhere near as nasty)

We don't love each other, nor do we pan -- err, "ban" -- selected people either.

[esme456]

Hmmm

Well i think RobertN might disagree with you there re. the panning

Laz and Omega haven't had too warm a reception lately either

(I'm not trying to drag things up again tho)

There's no love lost between me and certain people on AV anyway, I was being ironic lol

[Tom/Mutate]

I tried to be performance art with my crazy cat lover, fat nunchuka psycho and latino gay hooker.  I hope it kept morale up.

i was banned, then again, i am an american.

but was peaguy the first UK based member to get the axe?

[esme456]

Not sure

He could have been in theory I suppose...

What an accolade!

Tbh I'm amazed ive never been banned from there as I've been really provoking and antagonistic at times
I was really quite nasty towards Andrew and a few others on one occasion - I was upset but nevertheless
I went for the jugular on there

It was quite funny to see his very hasty damage limitation exercise - would have made Tony Blair proud lol

Perhaps they needed me to drum up interest in the site?

I think the same thing happened to me "damage limitation" when I got raggy on new years.   And, I think that's partly why neither of us were ever banned- if they did, it would add fuel to those fires - safer to placate us.
