I see, peegai. As you have said, I share your sentiments with regards to elitists who proclaim that autistics are better than NTs. However, I admit I do take it to extremes. It has been accused that I am an NT-wannabe, because I really respect them and disagree that autistics are better than them, and I will stand against any, and I mean any, bigotry towards them. In truth, I would take a cure if one was offered, for I feel that my disabilities outweigh any advantages I have gained by being autistic. I would really like to be able to touch other people, for one. When I remarked as to your "issues", we were kind of already fighting, and that remark I would consider disregarded out-of-hand. I hold no malice towards you, and was only participating in an "exhibition fight", as it were, as I also perceived you to be doing. I certainly didn't take anything to heart.
For sure, autistics can be fun to argue with. But anyone can be, of any neurological wiring. I enjoy taking different points of views, and I will often take a contrary point of view to a taken position, just to be the devil's advocate. To try and help people see things from multiple points of view. I do this even contrary to my own personal beliefs, as I tried to do in our argument. Indeed, such as I have done can be construed as torment, and the system I follow, although fictional, even has a word for it, "angslan", meaning the "pain of enlightenment". Although I would hardly label it enlightenment, as the goal is to free one from systems, even the system intended to free oneself. I do not see any cognitive disabilities within myself, except perhaps a slight inability to distinguish fact from fiction, but some disadvantages I do resent, although I do not hate myself as you imply.
You're not an asshole, and some people who I respect have actually said that you're an alright bloke. But we have hardly being able to act civil to one another for some time, have we? Indeed, with the general perception of myself as it is, and hardly caring enough to change it, I don't see any reason why that will change. I am equally delighted by the attempts to insult me, as any attempt as to a reasonable debate. The rules here with regards to narcissistic exchange are, though, annoying, as they are completely and probably deliberately changed from the norm, and the person who is praised is whosoever proclaims that they have owned the other, without ever having exhibited such a feat. It is so far from reality, that I really don't like to participate since we operate by different rules.
